Gov. Gray Davis lashed out at his opponent Saturday for appearing the day before at the Santa Clara home of Rod Diridon to protest the governor's fundraising practices.

The governor abruptly canceled a Friday fundraiser at Diridon's home aimed at railroad builders after the event was publicized. Critics, including Simon, accused Davis of abusing his role by scheduling the fundraiser to take place the day after he put a bond measure on the 2004 ballot to pay for $10 billion in high-speed rail projects.

In the immortal words of Claude Rains as the French Captain in Casablanca, "I'm shocked, shocked, that targeted fund-raising would occur for Gray Davis." And Davis says,"I don't need a lecture from Bill Simon"?

No, he needs a short lecture from the voters of California, "Go home, we don't want yoou any more."

``I don't need a lecture from Bill Simon,'' Davis said angrily...

Oooooooo, Davis getting defensive! And testy! Gotta love it!

``I have no idea how it got on the schedule.''

If "joe-gray" is the last one to know...then why is he running for governor?

Saw the title of the thread and almost choked.

Davis lashes back ... I'm still laughing at the mental image of Davis lashing back.

The only mental imagery I can conjure is a skinny, grey haired cat burgular, dressed in a black body stocking, climbing down a vine from a second story bedroom with a pillow case full of cash taken from the tax payers as they sleep.

I thought the Mercury News was down on Davis these days?

Davis is getting a bit testy, don't you think (or maybe "snippy about it" to quote another loser).

Methinks that the race is closer than the one-party, left-dominated propaganda machine know as the CA media will admit. Why, I'll bet the internal polls of likely voters are showing Simon with the lead.

Davis, and CA, need to be Simonized.

So anyhoo, I just got back from Southern California. The media blackout on the Simon campaign was the thing that made the greatest impression on me.

Question: what are the latest polls out there showing? Is Simon starting to close in?

Be Seeing You,

Chris

This is GOOD!!! The needling is growing legs!!!

Defensive Davis Defending the InDefensable is GETTING ATTENTION!!!

The people love to see a life-long professional politician getting tormented by a novice citizen challenger, especially in these unsavory circumstances!!!

If a goofy wrestler did it in MN, then by gum a much more credible business man willing to point up the unfairness and injustice of it all, CAN WIN BIG AND SURPRISE EVERYBODY!

I feel something wonderful is about to happen and all you hand-wringers and anxiety attackers can get busy with the important work of DUMPING DEFENSIVE DAVIS!!!

This is starting to become FUN FOR EVERYONE!!!
