The Assembly's closed-circuit television system, which beams committee hearings to other parts of the Capitol, inexplicably went dark just as Cortez began his criticism of the Davis administration.

No folks this wasn't Argentina, or Iraq, or Cuba this was the State of California in the Year of our Lord 2002.

I'm sure our Glorious Leader, the Shah of Sacramento, the Fuehrer of Fundraising, Idi Amin Davis, had nothing at all to do with THAT.

He also denied that Sen. Richard Polanco, D-Los Angeles, or Polanco's son, Oracle employee Richard Polanco Jr., had influenced his actions.
He acknowledged the elder Polanco is his mentor, and said, "I only mentor his son when he calls me for advice."
Both Polancos have surfaced in the course of the investigation.
The elder Polanco called Department of Finance Director Tim Gage to set up a meeting with department officials and Logicon Inc., a state computer consultant the auditor says stands to make $28.5 million from the deal. Sen. Polanco has declined to comment on the matter.

Welcome to the new reality in California: Mexican corrupt politics, and Polanco is the worst of all of them. The guy is nothing more than a thug, and it's no surprise that one of his affirmative action crony hires turns out to be a crook. Or that his kid is involved, or his grandmother, or his brother-in-law, or whatever. The guy is nothing more than the low rent leader of a Mexican crime family.

By the way, remember all the screaming about Chuck Quackenbush and his hounding out of government and the state by all the self righteous garbage like Jackie Speier and Fred Keeley? This is way worse. Where's all the indignation from these Paragons of Virtue?

I saw that and had the same thought that you did. But there could be an alternative expanation :

The operators in the California ISO had failed to buy enough power and decided to do a local rolling blackout!

LOL!

Dan, a lot of Freepers have complained about my posts and replies since Jan 2001, where I have labeled and called Davis a Fascist.

This and the revelations the past two months should remove any doubt that Davis is a very dangerous fascist!

Sic Heil Herr Davis! Death to the truth and morality is your motto!
