Air passenger says Davis took him for ride

Ty Pelfrey and his wife, Teresa, were on a plane from Sacramento to Burbank in mid-February when who should take the seat in the next row, with an entourage of security and support staff, but Gov. Gray Davis?

Pelfrey, a teacher, saw it as an opportunity. So despite a scowl from Teresa, he introduced himself to the governor. The two had a 10-minute conversation, with plenty of good feeling all around, he says.

There may have been some misunderstanding, she said

The misunderstanding was when California voters were led to believe they were electing a sane, honest, competent leader in 1998. Of course, we got none of that when we elected Gray Davis Governor.

PUSILLANIMOUS PREVARICATOR PING

Yeah but Simon wants to kill women with back-alley abortions so Davis is the only alternative < /LAT >

As Bluto said to Flounder, "you XXXXX up, you trusted us".

[Dog]

Ping!!!!!

The misunderstanding was when California voters were led to believe they were electing a sane, honest, competent leader in 1998.

No doubt the same Californians who overwhelmingly voted for Clinton ... twice!

[Cu Roi]

Let me get this straight. This guy built an addition on his house with money he didn't have based on wishful thinking and some information he managed to badger out of Gray Davis?

[Free the USA]

I can’t feel very sorry for any teacher naïve enough to believe what some politician promises especially a democrat like Davis.

[Lazamataz]

Yeah but Simon wants to kill women with back-alley abortions so Davis is the only alternative < /LAT >

Besides that, Simon wants to put machine guns in vending machines in schools, so Davis is the only alternative. </Sacramento Bee>

You got a great glimps of these robot democrate voters who by class are stupid - who goes out a put money on the line from a single conversation from a Dem pol? Then, again, for being stupid can't understand that they were the ones that did the deed but can't confront it so they sue as a victim. See why Billy & Hillary treat them so bad & they keep coming back & voting for them in bigger numbers.

[Crowcreek]

This story breaks my heart.

[Salvation]

Pelfrey says he got some bum information from the governor

And what else is new for Grayout these days?

[Tacis]

A scumbag union teacher believes the governor who has lied and cheated everyone and is mad? The jerk voted for him; his union dues paid for Davis' highlife and to pay minority voters to vote frquently and he is mad? Imagine how the rest of us who knew what Davis was like before the sleazy teachers helped put him in office, feel.

[TroutStalker]

Have you seen this?

[Samwise]

Excellent quote--and so true.

So, this Pelfrey is a teacher, he believed Gray Davis's assurances, and starts a home addition based on information from a lying dirtbag politician that he's getting a bonus. The most frightening thing about this is that this guy is "teaching" somebody's children.

[KineticKitty]

"Now, Pelfrey says he feels "this hollow spot in my stomach."

He listened to and believed a politician!? It's Amazing that He doesn't also feel the "hollow spot" in his head.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Is this the same Kalifornians who voted overwhelmingly for Gore? Yep, I thought so. Morons.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

This Kalifornia teacher isn't too bright. Gray is scumbag liar, but this guy was stupid the count on a pay raise/bonus before it became official. Lesson learned: don't believe a pay raise or bonus will happen until it is actually in your bank account.

[Rebelbase]

Really, the teacher is a canditate for a "swamp land" purchase.

I guess the chickens/eggs hatching cliche' is'nt taught in suburbia anymore.
