Dan Walters: Clinton ad a setback for Jerry Brown
Sacramento Bee ^ | 9/15/10 | Dan Walters

Posted on 09/15/2010 7:52:54 AM PDT by SmithL

It began with a television ad by Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for governor, hammering Democratic rival Jerry Brown with a video clip from Brown's 1992 presidential nomination duel with Bill Clinton.

In the video, Clinton hits Brown, to wit: "CNN. Not me, CNN says his assertion about his tax record was, quote, just plain wrong. He raised taxes as governor of California. … He doesn't tell the people the truth."

It's effective because it's not Whitman whomping on Brown but Clinton, a popular political figure, and CNN, a reputable news organization.

. . .
But Brown, a motormouth who at age 72 doesn't grasp that virtually everyone today has a video camera, then turned it into a mini-disaster.

On Sunday he was recorded in Los Angeles: "Meg Whitman. She stops at nothing. She's even got Clinton lying about me. That's right. No, did you see that? Where he said I raised taxes. It's a lie… I mean Clinton's a nice guy but whoever said he always told the truth? You remember, right?

SOME of us outgrew our floral bell-bottoms, and the ideology that went with them.

Another reason to NOT legalize drugs.

They do affect your lifetime choices.

The real hippies were "far out" to begin with and taking all those mind altering drugs didn't help the situation - they fried the few brains cells they had.

Jerry Brown is a setback to Jerry Brown. His lousy record spans 4 decades.

The only thing Moonbeam has done right in his whole life is date Linda Rhonstadt.

A stiffy has no political standards or allegiances...who knows, if I’d have had my way with her I might have saved her from the disastrous path she’s taken.

It is a great ad.

Moonbeam needs to be hammered re his anti prop 13 actions and stand until the results came in re the vote and support of prop 13 when we defeated the tax and spenders.

Moonbeam needs to be challenged each day re his stand on Prop 13.

A negative stand on Prop 13 and his support for the gay community in burying Prop should be enough to make this hippie jerk an unemployed jerk.

Yes, Jerry. Bill Clinton is indeed a lying, self-serving bulls**t artist. But you running as the fiscal conservative in the race...really, who’s kidding whom?

Ain't that the truth! I mean, really, the only way he does this is to either be self-deceived or the greatest actor of all time.

Nothing like using the words from their own to destroy worthless and dangerous flacks like Moonbeam.
