Mad as Hell
(not taking it anymore)
Nobody's muscling in on my territory!
Jerry Brown called for smaller government and more clout for local officials in the decision-making process, when he announced his bid for Governor in the upcoming elections, Tuesday.
During the press junket, Brown - who was California's Governor for eight years (1975-1983) - took an obvious slap at Governor Schwarzenegger which appeared to resonate with supporters.
"Some people say that if you've been around the process, you can't handle the job, that we need to go out and find an outsider who knows virtually nothing about State government."
Enter the barbarian.
Brown - a once-handsome charismatic politician with a full-head of lustrous hair - couldn't resist a pointed quip in the aftermath of his attack.
"Well, we tried that, and it doesn't work. We found that out, that not knowing, is not good."
In a video online at his website, Brown asserted that he was the best candidate for big honcho, in so many carefully-chosen words.
"Our State is in serious trouble and the next Governor must have the preparation and the knowledge and the know-how to get California working again."
In sum, that was Brown's platform for political success.
"That's what I offer."
There were campaign promises, too.
"In this time of recession, there will be no new taxes, unless you the people vote for them."
You the people?
Ah, that has a catchy ring to it.
Jerry, you (the politician) may have something there!
Hair today
