He’s worse than moonbeam.....the guy is a complete idiot and on the take all the time.

[the invisib1e hand]

shed it? He should copyright it. think of the branding possibilities...

[muglywump]

Does he want to shed his MOONBEAM label? This ‘branding’ may be good for him, especially in liberal Northern California.

[NavyCanDo]

Wasn’t he like the Mayor of the Planet Venus the last 10 years or so?

[Howie66]

Nope.

Once a Moonbeam, always a Moonbeam.

71 year old moonbeam! How will Californians KNOW when senile dementia sets in with this guy?

[BigFinn]

He would be the last piece of complete breakdown in California. I remember ‘moonbeam’ very well.... never forgot. You think it’s bad now...

[oneamericanvoice]

Brilliant! Hopefully Californians will remember his days as Governor Moonbeam, and understand that he is illegally acting as the California Attorney General.

On another site (pacoenterprise.blogspot.com) there was a contest of sorts to come up with a name for the Lefties like they use for the Tea Party folks. You might have a viable entry. See Java Jive to post this.

As a reminder of his past governorship the CA GOP needs to use his professional portrait that hangs at the state capitol for election fodder.

What? Being part of the “looney left” is now in fashion...

As a follow up... he is hiding his past record as the 'moombeam'...

And if Jerry Brown has anything to say about it, don't go looking for public records from his administration -- those are kept under lock and key at the University of Southern California.

[Niteranger68]

But so many Californians deserve his leadership...seriously.

[BunnySlippers]

The moniker “Gov. Moonbeam” is not going to hurt Brown with Liberals anyway.

[rlmorel]

No.

Exactly, I see the SF Compost which is dying so fast it may not make it to Nov 2010 is trying their best to re-brand this utterly corrupt and incompetent fool .
This goon was the idiot who started the massive state union labor force and kicked off all the massive regulatory boards, etc....
Calif mess was created by this vile creature and he just recently bankrupt Oakland and ran off !

Wasn't this guy involved in a child molesting case in the Tahoe in the 60/70 “s ?

[ncalburt]

Yes, he did not meet the criteria to be AG !

[ExTexasRedhead]

I’ve heard that he’s lost his mind; his wife runs the department or so rumors say.
