GRAY DAVIS USES UCLA SPEECH TO GIVE THE MODERATE INDEPENDENT FREE ADVERTISING

by Betsy R. Vasquez

 

 

AUGUST 19, 2003 - Could it be more obvious?

 

Compare Davis' comments -  "What's happening here is part of an ongoing national effort by Republicans to steal elections they cannot win." - to the Moderate Independent's article Republicans Decide To Do Away With Elections.

 

Compare Davis' turnabout from mild-mannered wimp, to brash, combative attacker with The Moderate Independent's article Gray Davis Changes Strategy:  Dons Leather Jacket, Uzi, Vows To "Terminate That Oversized, Unqualified Idiot.

 

Compare his declaration that, "The recall is bigger than California," that it is a "right-wing power grab right before a Presidential election," with our article Make No Mistake, For One Party The 2004 Election Has Already Begun.

 

And compare his finally turning blame for the energy crisis solidly on Enron and Vice President Cheney with the story we've been talking about all week, M/I Talks To The Lady Who Blew The Whistle On Enron About Enron's Role In The California Recall (available Thursday, 8/21) or his commentary that while California was being soaked, Republicans were cozying up with Ken Lay with the M/I story Schwarzenegger Trails In Latest Poll - Press That Kissed His Ass For Weeks Pretends It Doesn't Exist, and it's account of such closed door meetings with Lay.

 

I think nothing could be clearer.

 

Governor Davis of California was floundering around, about to sail tamely into a recall induced goodnight when, probably at around 3AM the night before he had to give today's speech at UCLA, he encountered for the first time a new news source called The Moderate Independent.

 

It's ok, Gov, we won't charge you royalties.  The only thing we ask is that you don't get completely carried away and start acting out our story Embattled California Governor Gray Davis Launches "Pre-Emptive" Strike On Cancun.
