California's Show-Me-the-Money Governor

LA Times ^ | July 22, 2002 | George Skelton

Gov. Gray Davis has pocketed political money from some of the biggest, baddest names in the corporate corruption scandals.

WorldCom $109,000. Adelphia $52,500. Enron $120,000. Global Crossing execs $120,050. Arthur Andersen and its parent $54,000. Does anybody care?

Republican rival Bill Simon Jr. has been hammered politically for using offshore tax shelters that the Internal Revenue Service contends may be illegal. Davis, it turns out, received $86,500 from the accounting firm that recommended the shelters. The firm, KPMG LLP, is being sued by the IRS.

There are also a few good letters to the editor slamming Davis in today's LAT.

This from the liberal George "Slumberin" Skelton? I'm surprised. And I suppose its just a coincidence the IRS never openly named GrayDown in their press release of the other week. GrayDown's become the JJ of California politics; he's the expert at getting corporations to pony up to his campaign or else.

[eureka!]

Ready made campaign ad here, IMHO....

Thanks for the PING.

We, the People, Care!!!

GO SIMON

[Gophack]

GREAT find!

Democrat pit bull Bob Mulholland will continue trying to make hay with the corporate scandals, but the fact is that Democrats receive far more corporate money than Republicans. I hope the RNC is putting together those facts.

Bill Simon didn't take a dime from Enron, Davis took $120,000 ... and gave us taxpayers a $12 billion debt to purchase energy on the spot market.

Dump Davis!

Gray Davis - The Coin-Operated Governor.

[Bernard Marx]

This is just the LATimes's way of "inoculating" Davis from these revelations should they be used in Davis' campaign. "Why that's 'old news,'" they'll say. It's just a standard Democrap/Media propaganda op.

This bears repeating and repeating and repeating until the sheeple get it.

[DoughtyOne]

Show me the money? How about show him the door!

[JustAmy]

Let's start our campaign to :

[JustAmy]

Yes, show him the door, then get ready to dump Barbara and Diane!

[DoughtyOne]

Thank heaven you didn't put him in the recycle bin.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, I LOVE that signature!!

Louie, I want a "Dump Davis" gif-gift too! Maybe, when you have a few minutes, you could come up with one for me? :-)

[JustAmy]

He's already been recycled too many times! Past time for the landfill.

LOL! Sure! You want the same little girl?

And thanks. : )

[Mama_Bear]

"LOL! Sure! You want the same little girl?"

No, that's Amy's little girl. Something different, maybe? :-)

[JustAmy]

Oh, I LOVE that signature!!

Isn't she cute? I may start using her on all of the California threads. LOL
Do you think California voters would pay attention if we put her on billboards? We also need a Gray-Out Davis or Dim-Bulb Davis image. I'm afraid that I've been giving Louie so much advertising, he may never catch up! LOL (And he threatened to start charging for his gifs)

[ST.LOUIE1]

"LOL! Sure! You want the same little girl?"

No, that's Amy's little girl.

I thought you wanted to be 'twins'. LOL

Ok, I'll see what I can come up with. : )

[mvpel]

Hey, that's a really good idea! I'm going to stick the phrase "Dump Davis" on my garbage bins - free advertising every Tuesday...
