Al Franken and Jeanine Garafolo(sp) would be impressed... what is scary is what Jerry Brown had to say when he was in between stints of screwing California.

The genesis of today's problems took root in the Brown Governorship of the 1970's - terminating Freeway Projects, Stopping Dam Construction, Shutting off Natural Gas and Oil Wells, the ban on Nuclear and Coal power plants...

Interestingly enough - in the middle of Jerry Brown's left-wing rants are some positions eerily similar to Meg Whitman's - Public Funding of Abortion, supporting tax increases like Pete Wilson's Massive Tax Increases, Open Borders and the like...

The Sacramento Bee - fresh off being Vindicated regarding their story against Meg Whitman - popped up another gem: Jerry Brown Unplugged. (Whole story here)

The Money quote is here: "The excerpts, since removed, were posted on Brown's We the People Web site. The Bee recovered them through a Web cache of the old site."

Now - this is why I am other bloggers have to choose between running for office and blogging. What goes on the net is permanent...

Ladies and Gentlemen: Jerry Brown

During his three years on the air, Brown repeatedly blamed corporate malfeasance and political corruption for undermining American democracy and even causing deaths, according to edited excerpts of the radio broadcasts.

Yawn - but we're just getting warmed up...

Brown regularly attacked President Bill Clinton as a lackey for business interests and in one excerpt stated, "I don't believe Clinton is different from Richard Nixon."

Nice. Clean up on isle nine, please?

He called capital punishment "state murder" and said U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, both Democrats, had "sold out" U.S. truck drivers by letting their Mexican counterparts drive uninspected vehicles into the United States.

So, Jerry Brown is lying saying he supports the death penalty? Barbara Boxer was not Pro-Union enough for Brown?

In one of the most controversial excerpts, Brown called the prison system a racket that pumped profits out of the poor's misfortunes and into the pockets of prison guards.

"The big lockup is about drugs," Brown stated in an excerpt from late 1995. "Here's the real scam. The drug war is one of the games to get more convictions and prisoners. There's a lot of chemicals out there and when certain ones are made illegal, they become a huge profit opportunity and bring violence, crime and more people to imprison."

So, In Jerry Brown's world - let em out of jail and oh, you can't own a gun either.

Jerry Brown has never faced a Republican opponent with the money to hold him accountable - the problem for Whitman is that she agrees with Brown on key issues like taxpayer funded abortion, gun control and extreme environmental regulations. If people can't see a difference - Brown will win.

What's next? I am sure as the information continues to surface - Brown's ethics, like those of Whitman, will come center-stage. (But, I think Brown voted...)

Meantime - having this loser as AG is like giving Jessie James the keys to the bank or inviting Jack the Ripper to baby sit...

P.S. The Bee - watch them endorse Gavin "Any Twosome" Newsome.
