“Ah, I forgot about that crook Cranston. I remember him way back when as the head of the California Department of Education.”
He was the State Controller, but you’re right about the crook part. He was one of the “Keating Five,” just like his butt buddy, John McCain.
He had something to do with Education, as well. Maybe he was head of the LA Board of Education. I grew up in Southern California and I remember him as being greasy even back then (in the 1960s).
