Since so little is known about Cruz Bustamante, I was very pleased to see a profile on him from the LA Weekly. The Weekly may be a pinko rag, but they're pretty darn cynical about every side, which helps us here.

It looks like they're about as keen on Cruz Bustamante as governor as we are. I can already tell they're going to endorse Davis on the recall, and they will probably hold their nose and endorse Bustamante as the better man to beat those nasty Republicans, but you can see it will be a stretch.

Ping for the typically cynical LA Weekly take on Bustamante, one of the first decent profiles I have seen of the man.

Enjoy!

Who is Cruz Bustamante, this generally conservative, pro-business Democrat

Huh? This is NOT Cruz Bustamante.

Asked at a gas-station press conference last Thursday about his proposal to use the state PUC to regulate gasoline prices ... Bustamante, who co-authored the disastrous electric-power deregulation scheme ... shed little light beyond the soundbite for Labor Day weekend drivers. “This is an important commodity, and it should be regulated for the people,” he intoned, then made a brief stab at answering the actual question by noting that “even wharfage is a regulated utility.” ... “There are oil refineries in California,” said Bustamante, who also noted that “there is not enough strategic reserve,” then retreated back to boilerplate about gasoline as “a very important commodity that must be regulated for the people.”

I see long lines and high prices in Bustamante's California.

I'm pretty suprised that the LA Weekly would have published this. I guess Bustamante isn't enough of a communist for them.
