Riordan tried this same smear once he realized he was going to lose the nomination. It didn't work then and it won't work now, but I'm happy to see Davis is in desperation mode this early in the campaign!!

The Sacramento Bee deserves a rare bit of credit for running this analysis. It totally demolishes Gray Davis's smear campaign.

Some of the liberal media's articles and editorials attacking Davis this past month or two have been so devastating, you have to wonder if they haven't decided to toss him off the back of the sleigh. It seems to me that it's more than just a plot to get all the bad news out early.

Doesn't seem like ol' Gray is very proud of this one - it's not on his web site yet.

(His web site is worth looking at, if nothing else because it's about as inspiring as the man himself.)

That being said, most of the S&L industry went bust at about the same time, and it's not at all surprising that some honest operators went down. I seem to remember one of the best-managed thrifts (I think it was Glendale Federal) was tossed to the wolves due to this same change, and I believe they did win their suit against the government.

A message from Jim Robinson regarding the fundraiser!

"Simon's mismanagement cost depositors millions -- and the bailout for his mistakes cost taxpayers $90 million more."

Gray Davis is one to talk about "mismanagement". What has his incompetence cost the citizens of California...so far?

Thirty billion-or-so?
