Speaking of perjurers
"As letters implicating [California Gov.] Gray Davis in graft were released on Monday, Davis was busy campaigning with Bill Clinton — an appropriate echo to the letters' charges," George Neumayr writes at www.americanprowler.org.
"Davis called the impeached former president, accused felon, and disbarred lawyer the 'best president in his lifetime.' Clinton, for his part, declared California a progressive utopia under Davis.
"'Gray Davis has broken new ground every single year, and California is leading America toward an environmentally responsible future,' Clinton said in Inglewood. 'There's not a state in the country that has done more progressive things when it comes to education, when it comes to health care, when it comes to balancing the needs of working families, when it comes to the rights of working people and women and minorities and gays than the state of California.'
"Meanwhile, Garry South, Davis' lowlife political adviser, tried to bat down charges from Mark Nathanson that Davis sought to benefit from the California Coastal Commission's corruption. A member of the Willie Brown machine in the 1980s, Nathanson used the commission to extort money from permit applicants. He says that Davis, as an assemblyman and state controller, was a partner in some of his schemes. 'The governor is not going to have an argument with a convicted felon and admitted perjurer,' says Garry South.
"Boy, what contempt for perjurers. Doesn't South know that his boss is campaigning with one?"
