Jerry Brown: Clinton and I share similar ideas on the California economy

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown said this morning that he and former President Bill Clinton had moved on from their often nasty 1992 presidential primary battle and that "Bill Clinton and I share very similar ideas on how to build up the California economy, how to treat working people fairly."

In his weekly call into San Francisco radio station KGO, Brown also estimated that 95 percent of rival Meg Whitman's recent ads were negative and said "she is so unpopular now that the only way she can win is to tear me down, not build her up. So you'll hear very little about the Whitman record going forward."

Host Jennifer Jones-Lee asked him about his recent mocking of Clinton, followed by his apology to the former president and Clinton's subsequent endorsement of Brown. Whitman is running a TV spot featuring a 1992 clip of Clinton citing a CNN report finding the average state tax burden was higher when Brown left as governor than when he started office.

I have to wonder what else they share.

Governor Moonbeam smokes some serious weed, doesn’t he?

Governor Moonbeam smokes some serious weed, doesn’t he?”

Brown’s brainsells- all 3 of them left to rub together- are all he has left.

He is a long-time friend of Jane Fonda & Tom Hayden.

Would like to see Meg Whitman put out an ad showing the pics of those 3 together. Tell the world exactly what they all are.

I’m old enough to remember Moonbeam when he was governor. He has been in outer space for a good 40 years or so. I think he and Dennis Kucinich share the same brain cells. :)
