Angry at the failure of his tax and jobs plan to gain enough support in the state legislature, California’s Governor Jerry Brown (D) tore into Republicans for what he termed their “unconstitutional delegation of power.” Brown said that several Republican state senators told him they would like to vote for his package, but wouldn’t for fear of voter disapproval.
“Since when do voters have the right to intimidate legislators on how to vote?” Brown asked. “The State Constitution clearly grants the decision on tax bills to members of the legislature. Republicans shouldn’t be using such a lame excuse and voters should but out.”

That’s not satire. That reads like an accurate description of “Moonbeam.”
Those pesky American people!!!
“voters should butt out”
Did Gerry really say that? Make sure that gets play come
2012 and hang it around the neck of any and all D candidates in CA!
“butt out” [the door] is where the voters should kick Brown and the rest of these “public servants” at the next election. What’s the word - Chutzpah?
Why is this a satire? Every single day moonbeam slams the GOP and conservatives.....
Unreal...
“...“Since when do voters have the right to intimidate legislators on how to vote?” Brown asked. ...”
When CW II starts, I really want to see the video of when voters take care of Gov Moonbeam.
Hat Tip!
Every one of your semi-news posts is so close to real expectaions, that I have commentary 3/4 constructed before recognizing the satire....
I’m not kidding, you get me every time! Dang, you’re good LOL.
Wait, wait! Jerry Brown is governor of California again?? Bwah,ha,ha,ha! How fricking stupid are those people?? And he’s complaining that there are too many Republicans in CA? Is this satire?
How does he know what a Republican is? He sure didn’t see it in Arnie. Maybe he’s friends with Tom McClintock, cause I’m not aware of any other career politicians in or from kalifornia that are true Republicans.
You tell ‘em Gov. Moonbeam! When do the people have the right to tell their representatives what to do? How un-Marx of them!
I like this other one of yours:
“NYC Mayor Says “Pass the President’s Jobs Bill”
“New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned that “there could be dire consequences if we don’t pass President Obama’s jobs bill. Look, the President has made it clear that if we love him we’ll pass the bill. This means that refusing to pass the bill is tantamount to hating him, which, I believe, is a felony.”
“The mayor says he admires Obama’s “pluck.” “The guy may have laid one egg after another, what with all the bailouts and stimulus spending flushing billions down the drain, but at least he’s trying,” Bloomberg said, contrasting the President’s approach with what he labeled a “do-nothing” Congress. “Even bad ideas are better than no ideas. I think the suggestion that the government should back off before it does more harm represents the worst kind of defeatism. Did FDR back off when his programs failed? No, he kept on going until World War II came along to rescue the economy. We need to do the same today.”
“Bloomberg characterized resistance to the President’s request as a “threat to our domestic tranquility. There’ll be rioting in the streets like there was in Cairo and Madrid. Not only would our police be powerless to stop it, they might well join in. I know I’d be sorely tempted to do so if I were in their position.”
Again, satire that’s almost identical to the truth.
