Just give comrade Davis enough rope... :)

Payoff time. Too bad the compliners here did not have enough money for Davis; they might have been listened to.

Edison certainly contributed well.

tl, thanks for posting this.

I have a feeling that most of Edison's present and past top officers are all card carrying demonicRats and backers of Davis for decades! My memory seems to recall some appointed to the PUC by MoonBeam, Davis's boss at that time, appointed the current CEO of Edison to ruin/run the PUC back in Moonbeam's time!

I just watched Judy Woodruff interview Gray Davis. Unbelievable!! She asked a question about Simon's policy on energy, and Davis answers by saying Simon is anti-choice. This is going to be ugly!

Then she interviewed Simon, and I was impressed! He challenged everything Davis said, in clear, no uncertain terms.

Davis said, Simon "ran a savings and loan into the ground". He also said Simon had no experience managing anything. Simon jumped on that inconsistency. He said, "Davis can't have it both ways.".

Simon said Davis bragged he grew the CA economy from 7th to 5th. Simon said if he did so it was at the expense of having a 10 billion dollar deficit.

Davis is going to have his hands full. He was mean-spirited, accusatory, and on the full frontal attack. Even in California, that's got to look pretty desperate coming the day after the primary.

The obvious prediction: Davis knows he's dead and over the next few months we'll be watching him loot what is left of California's spent coffers in any way shape or form possible.

This is an outrage beyond belief. Davis should go to jail over this appointment. The nerve!

Since 1985, Geesman has been the managing director of fixed income banking for RBC Dain Rauscher Inc. in San Francisco. He once served on TURN's board.

Let's see, we have Bryson - a co-founder of the NRDC - as the CEO of Edison, and now Geesman, a former TURN director in charge of the Cal-ISO, a supposedly "independent" organization.

Incest? Yes.

I want to remind everyone that under FERC rules, the Cal_ISO [as a Regional Transmission Organization] is required to be independent. But as we have seen, under Bush, FERC only enforces rules that are politically correct.

I guess it was a little too early to appoint Chad Condidit....

Gray Davis makes me sick

Peevy's appointment was one of two Davis made Tuesday. He also appointed John L. Geesman to the board of the Independent System Operator, which manages most of the state power grid.

Since 1985, Geesman has been the managing director of fixed income banking for RBC Dain Rauscher Inc. in San Francisco. He once served on TURN's board.

OK CPUC gets a former PG&E Executive and ISO gets a investment banker.....I wonder who wants to try to put a good foot forward with the investment banking community on power bonds. I wonder what kind of other appointments are in the works? I wonder if there will even be some statements about California always paying its lawful debts and never trying to avoid that. I think the power bond pressure is on!

The educational status of Kalifornians and the functional state IQ must be amazing. If 100 is average and 80 is approaching moron, the Kalifornia average must not be much above 85-90.

Equally frightening is that almost half of all Americans are Democrats. Since the Democratic Party exists and is solely based on people who are completely out of touch with reality, we now are largely a nation of psychotic morons. And in Kalifornia they are in charge.

Where are the people who want to be free? Where are the secessionists willing to separate themselves from the looney bin that United States has become.

At least the man is predictable. Lessee, there's

An honest politician is one who stays bought.

And then, from that famous California polician...

Money is the mother's milk of politics.

Doncha just love the Slave Party?
