So many gems in here.
"You're pissing me off," he reportedly told Davis, "because you haven't done me any favors at all -- because I haven't asked for any favors, other than that you be a good governor."
Also note the non-interview with Booze Crustamonte. Enjoy!

Gray Davis is just one of those politicians that you want to go away no matter who replaces him. Same goes for Hillary, Schumer, Ted Kennedy...........

Hellman is about as much a Republican as Arnold is.

Jawohl!
To: GunsareOK
I misread the sentence. I thought he was saying "other than that (whatever that was) you be a good governor.
I see now he was referring to the favors he was or was not asking.
Thanks for pointing that out...

No problem. I hope McClintock wins--he's really the best candidate.

"What, after everything I've done for you?" the governor shot back. No quid pro quo here, never was, never will be...move along, nothing to see

"I'm giving lots of money against the recall because I don't think it's right, but I'm supporting Schwarzenegger," Hellman said. ping! Maybe this is what you mentioned on the other thread.
