Campaign fund-raising has been the great passion -- indeed, the only passion -- of Gov. Gray Davis' career. From his days in the Assembly until today, he has been a tireless, even obsessive, solicitor of funds who has amazed friends and foes alike with the energy he brings to most politicians' least favorite task, the schmoozing of the rich and powerful.

It could not happen at a better time. The Rat Senators up for election in Bush States will be very vulnerable. If the DNC does not move to condemn Davis, they will be seen as condoning this criminal behavior (we know that they support criminal behavior in Rats 24/7), they just don't want the sheeple to know that.
Then if other Rat governors have been doing the samething, and again we know that they have. This could end up costing a lot Rat Governors in other states their job as they get coated with the Bravo Sierra from their bro, Gov Davis!
Whoreacle did not just buy business in Kali, they bought it in other states! That is part of their corporate culture as a Rat owned and controlled company.

Outrageous. And he does this with no compunction whatsoever.....
Corruption so endemic, the citizenry expect it as a matter of course.
OH, the irony! Plumbers! HaHaHaHaHaHahaha!
I'm still waiting for the first Woodward/Bernstein piece in the Washington Compost. What, exactly, did IL Davis know, and when did he know it...LOL
Good to see 'em in a snit. Maybe this'll get their PC shorts untangled.
Up to now, he backed Davis even more than he backed Clintoon. I asked how many of his peers felt like he did. He said a large % are even more vocal than he is. He said that if his union paid this extortion demand to Davis, he would file a form asking for his share of the money back.

The shredding (in a STATE OFFICE!) sounds ominous to me. Definitely something imoportant to hide. Difficult to stonewall (ala x42) once the evidence becomes public (the blue dress). Wonder if they had enough shredders or if they had to borrow some from Ernst and Young.
Wyoming is number 50.
Riordan spokeswoman Margita Thompson says Maviglio's comments are simply designed to divert attention from at least $117,000 in campaign donations from Enron that Davis has received since 1998.

This data needs to be recycled! Please post it, email and send it to friends and relatives.
HOORAY FOR SIMON!!!!
Makes one sick.
"Campaign fund-raising has been the great passion -- indeed, the only passion -- of Gov. Gray Davis' career.

...In short, there's a disturbing pattern of an administration that is more transactional about political money than any in recent memory.
Because the Oracle contract is so nakedly a giveaway that was rewarded so immediately with a political donation delivered to a member of the governor's staff involved in the contract, it needs to be investigated as a possible criminal matter. And because Davis has been so directly involved in micromanaging his administration, that investigation must look into his role.
Attorney General Bill Lockyer is investigating the Oracle contract, but this is a case for the U.S. attorney's office..." - The Sacramento Bee (lead editorial, saturday, May 4, 2002)
