As much as I'm sympathetic to Whitman for being personally attacked, this argument is just dumb:

Why would the union that represents LAPD officers even think of endorsing liberal Jerry Brown

Cop unions are just like all unions - sleazy, corrupt, and tilted heavily to the left. Every now and then one will break away and endorse our guy, but it's the exception and there's usually a heavy price to pay with their normal left wing constituency. Brown is that constituency in the LAPD case and he was simply trying to bring them back on the plantation where they have been before and where they will be again in the future.

Another famous Churchill story——a woman political opponent said to him, “If I were married to you, I’d put poison in your coffee.”

Churchill replied:” And if I were married to you, I’d drink it.”

Ah, just noticed this piece is written by that cop-slobbering idiot Jack Dunphy, who thinks police officers and probably by extension police officer unions can do no wrong.

Explains everything...except why an LAPD officer would dub himself Truman Capote's gay lover as a nom-de-plum.

And for those who, like that unnamed and uncouth Brown staffer...

Don't forget, it was Brown, himself, who quickly responded, "I'm going to use that..."

If Mexifornia elects Brown, they will get what they richly deserve.

Who’s in bed with Jerry Brown? Well,half the residents of San Francisco’s Castro District for starters.

“Madam,” he says, “would you sleep with me for five million pounds?” “I suppose I would,” says the woman. “We would have to discuss the terms, of course.” “Would you sleep with me for five pounds?” asks Churchill. The woman is insulted. “What kind of woman do you think I am?” she asks.“We’ve already established that,” Churchill says. “Now we’re haggling about the price.”

Great stuff! Although it's probably not true I once read that Churchill once had an exchange with a woman at a dinner party that went:

Woman: "Sir,if you were my husband,I'd poison you"

Churchill: "Madam,if you were my wife,I'd let you".

Dunphy is absolutely right about the judge thing. Keeping Jerry Brown away from appointing another Bird Court is reason enough to vote against him even if there were no other.

Actually, Jerry was frightful at hiring, period. I mean, he hired Gray Davis as chief of staff.

Besides NOW, I think this guy.

Paul Lynde had a wife too.
