Gray Davis on CNN 11:16 am PDT

CNN | 07/06/2003 | Judy Woodruf

[ErnBatavia]

I saw the last 3 or 4 minutes....what a lightweight he is, and what a softball tosser Dame Judy was with her last half dozen "final questions"...

[Southack]

Perfect!

Davis' California popularity has plummeted this last week to a record low 22% (no doubt even lower nationally).

So the more that CNN and other major leftist organizations try to prop up Davis with such low approval ratings, the faster the Left will lose credibility and power.

[John Jorsett]

Let's see him go on Fox if he dares.

[DoughtyOne]

Those were just more of the same. No follow up, no reference to his dismal performance with actual numbers. In fairness I did come to this mid-interview, so I may have missed a question or two that was pointed. However, the questions I saw her ask, the way they were presented, the way he spun, and the way she allowed him to, made it clear this was nothing more than a powder puff job to hide the blemishes. It would have been totally out of character for a preceeding portion of the interview to have been different. I doubt that it was.

[McGruff]

Rumor is he has accepted an offer of asylum in Nigeria.

[DoughtyOne]

CNN really has taken a 'bottom of the barrel' approach to news presentation, if you can call it news. In reality it's turned into nothing more than an appologist's platform for liberalism.

If anything FoxNews allows too strong of voices from the left for balance. There are times when they shout down the conservatives completely.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, but I'm not sure Bush will agree to send in troops to arrest the thugs and maintain any semblence of law and order. Heh heh heh...

[spokeshave]

"Rumor is he has accepted an offer of asylum in Nigeria."

Wher he will fit right in with the Nigerian internet scammers....

My name is Grey Davis due to unfortunate circumstances beyond my control I am temporarily residing in Lagos.....and I have huge funds (billions of dollers) in blocked accounts in California....I need your help in freeing these funds....your fee is 25% ...thats it 25% of US$5 BILLION....just send me your bank account number and the transfer will be done......

[DoughtyOne]

Davis gets not mercy around here. Heh heh heh...

[Reeses]

His petitions against the recall have obtained more signatures than the recall has.

I've signed it many times myself. Just like a big government do-nothing waste, this petition does nothing but cost Davis $1 for every signature, which is $1 less he has to spend to try to buy back his job.

Gray Davis Parties as California Nears Financial Disaster

As the Democrat-run state legislature and disastrous Democrat Gov. Gray Davis fail to resolve their budget fiasco, California is "on the brink of a fiscal disaster," the Washington Post reported today.

The newspaper warns of colleges canceling classes and nursing homes closing their doors. The good news: Up to 30,000 bureaucrats could get the ax.

Legislators have until midnight to compromise with Davis on a budget that would wipe out the $38 billion deficit, "but the odds of that happening appear slim. And without a deal, the state will be bound by law to begin cutting off billions of dollars in payments to its agencies and its contractors in July - and could run out of money by August," said the paper.

"It looks bleak," said Perry Kenny, president of California State Employees Association, which represents more than 100,000 government workers. "This is the biggest hole we've ever been in, and no one can seem to find a way out. We're all sweating bullets here."

Davis and his cronies are pushing huge tax increases, but the minority Republicans are balking.

"He and his allies have gotten the last three budgets they wanted, and we're nearly bankrupt," said James Brulte, the Republican leader in the state Senate. "Somebody has to stand up and say enough is enough. That's what Republicans in California are doing."

So, where is Davis as his state slides toward ruin and his goons illegally harass those who are legally petitioning for his recall? He went to New York for the weekend to attend his mother's birthday party.

Move Over, Jesse Jackson

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that the wealthy special interests fighting the recall campaign are expecting payback from Davis.

Union fat cats and companies with state contracts are leading the anti-recall drive. Shakedown Davis' underlings continue to insist that there's no quid pro quo, even though the guv has a history of blatantly demanding "donations" from educrats and other on-the-dole Big Labor groups.

"We've seen in the past with this governor that he's quite willing to trade government action for campaign donations, and I think that's going to only increase as the budget is negotiated and as his recall becomes more of a certainty," said Dave Gilliard, director of Rescue California Recall Gray Davis.

[DoughtyOne]

Heh heh heh...

[DoughtyOne]

I like it.

[DoughtyOne]

Pretty sad.

Good show!!

[freekitty]

I see the thief is speaking now although still with a split tongue.

[Mo1]

I guess Judy forgot to ask why Davis has a less then 20% approval rating huh?

[Amerigomag]

History will show that Davis' greatest miscalculation occured on April 16, 1999.

On that day, for purposes of political pandering to both the Hispanic minority and the business community, Davis moved Dan Lundgren's appeal of Judge Pfaelzer historic decision regarding Proposition 187 to mediation in the 9th Circuit.

With a single signature Davis invited Mexico's poor to enjoy California's publically supported infrastructure and doomed the state to economic collapse some four short years later.
