KFI in Los Angeles just announced that the California Supreme Court has denied Tookie Williams appeal for an emergency stay. Let's see if KFI got it right this time.

"What is taking Arnold so long."

Does the terminator really have to decide to grant clemency to this mutant? I'm no lawyer, but can't he just not make a decision and allow this murderer to join his Maker?

[commish]

Happy dance commencing. Now let's pray AHNOLD doesn't go all wobbly on us.

If death is the means to promote justice and sanity in this case, then so be it.

1 in 1,000,000? So you're saying he has a chance! (With an apology to Dumb & Dumber.)

[TheDon]

Exactly when is his date with the needle? Monday at midnight?

Hasta La Vista Baby!

I offered the lyrics to TOOKIE GOT RUN OVER BY A GURNEY to John and Ken, but they never responded. KFI will be broadcasting from San Quentin tomorrow from 3pm to 1am. Fire up the tape recorders. It should be one of the great John & Ken shows ever.

Tokkie is dead dookie.

NOW IT'S UP TO ARNOLD. DON'T LET THE VICTIMS OR THEIR FAMILIES DOWN.

"Monday at midnight?"

one minute after midnight, Monday.

Oh, darn...[/sarcasm off]...reminds me of the old Fats Domino/Cheap Trick song:

Ain't that a shaaaaaaame
You're the one too blame.

Asta la vesta, babeee!

I don't think the 9th Circuit can touch it, as it is a Federal Court, the only thing they could appeal there was procedural errors/civil rights violations.

I hope you're right, but I've got this creeping feeling that the Leftists are going try dragging in the 9th circus on some "violation of federal civil rights" argument. That will probably get a stay from those morons. Then it'll get kicked up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Seen it happen on other high profile executions in which a bunch of idiot liberals get all queasy about killing a murderer or rapist. (Naturally, these same people saw nothing with starving a disabled innocent woman to death.)

Like your post and like your tagline

You're quick doug.

Something interesting I found while poking around:

---“Took die, the city fry,” said Raymond “The Hatchet Man” Locket, a member of the West Side Harlem Crips, who says he knew Tookie back in the day. “That’s the word on the streets.”---

Sounds like Tookie isn't an altogether positive influence on the younger generation.

I know. What the @#$^ has this had to take so long. Not only has he murdered, but one of the founding member of one of the most violent street gangs to terrorize California for decades. The blood of hundreds of deaths is on this scumbags hands for what he started.

27 years....what a joke our legal system is.

Cook-ie Tookie

[kylaka]

The odds are actually slimmer than that. Arnold, in a sense, whould have to give his political life in exchange for sparing Tookie's actual life. If Arnold thinks that is a good deal for him, then he is much more stupid than I thought. Took's about as worthless to anyone as a human can be, but he alone put himself in that position. As they say, let God sort it out.

[stocksthatgoup]

Is this how the Tookie Crumbles?

Good evening Doug.

Arnold needs to take the cue from Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour who refused tonight to grant clemency to a 77 year old convicted murderer. His execution will take place ON SCHEDULE this coming Wednesday!
