Gray Davis an Office Beater!!

[Chadder007]

Los Angeles Time is hiding this story that they have had since 97 because they want Davis to win.....

Since at least 1997, the Times has been sitting on information that Gov. Gray Davis is an "office batterer" who has attacked female members of his staff, thrown objects at subservients and launched into red-faced fits, screaming the f-word until staffers cower.

I heard about this the other day. Beating 60-something year old women? That punk should be in jail.

I don't know who to beleive anymore. First the stuff with Arnold, then this. What's next? Allegations that Cruz Bustamante is a neo-Nazi?

Glad I live nowhere near California.

after the war i didnt think it was even possible for this paper's integrity to sink lower. i guess it is, because the la times is rapidly becoming worthy of being used as toilet paper.

this needs a bump

 

[Wag]

The stuff with Ahnold is believable because it's been talked about for years, I'm actually surprised it didn't come up sooner.

ditto Although voting for Arny would have some satisfaction.

...sure beats the treatment other interns have received from that camp; rather get slapped than to get sexually abused, or worse, killed.

Arnold wasn't attacked SOLELY by anonymous sources. In fact, about 4 of the women's names are publicly known. Apparently, none of the sources in the Davis story would let the paper attribute quotes to them. Also, how many sources did this reporter use? She doesn't say. I'd guess this story doesn't have serious legs because none of the t.v. and radio stations, to my knowlege, have run anything about it. This reporter seems to be the lone exception. Given the resources of the right wing, I would think they'd come up with more than this. Tsk, tsk. Thus, her credibility is an issue here, IMHO.

On the other hand, if these allegations are true (which I doubt), then Davis should be removed.

Ho-hum, another bright day in La-La Land.

I haven't heard Condit's name mentioned in quite some time now.

Compared to Ill. AZ or DC, California is a Paradise...even with the screwed up Politicos

I thought of him the other day while running through the park...wondering how he has managed to stay below the radar; I suspect the media ended his career without us ever discovering what exactly happened.

the WSJ quoted her today in an article over readers fury at the l.a. times story which led to the cancellation of thousands of subscriptions.

 

[0roo0roo]

joy, a bullsh*t story, you think the media and pissed off republican sleaze punidts who had years and two previous desperate elections to investigate davis really missed something? the fact is that the republicans started this recall to try to win an office they couldn't win fairly. this recall is a travesty, bought and paid for by a republican. the voters reelected this governor and now the republicans want to take his office by the only way possible. to win with as little as 18% of the vote, while making sure davis has to get 50% of the vote to win. it is sleaze at the highest level.

Well, that certainly buttresses her arguments! ,

My son quoted me as saying it's getting cooler here in Florida, so it must be true. Sheezh....

Notice that the article is not from the LA Times. The opinion article is complaining that the LA Time knew about this so called story but didn't publish it. Frankly, I will trust the LA Times over an opinion article from the LA Daily.

Yeah, screw perfect weather, cosmopolitan cities, and beautiful women. I'd take the barren flatlands and all the farms here in Oklahoma any day

Apparently there is some substance to the charges that Gray Davis abuses his staff. Consider this statement from William Bradley, a California-based, Democratic political analyst. The statement occurred in an online interview with the Washington Post on October 6, 2003:

Of course they do and they are clearly receiving a great deal of consideration. There is no question that Schwarzenegger has engaged in sexually obnoxious behavior. The question for voters, as it was with Bill Clinton, is do these concerns trump the overall. Incidentally, Governor Davis has been accused of abusive behavior toward women on his staff over the years, and there is something to those charges.

The whole transcript can be read here: Washington Post Online Discussion with William Bradley

Concerning the L.A Times, consider also this quote from the transcript. Remember, Bradley is a Democrat:

From Tallahasse, Fla.: By breaking the story when it did it seems the LA times is doing more than just taking its traditional liberal slant, it is attempting to influence the elections. Do you agree with this? And will the credibility of the paper be diminished in the aftermath of this? If not, why?

William Bradley: The timing of the story may just be a coincidence, as the Times insists. They say the story ran when it was ready. Of course, you almost have to believe then that if the election occurred LAST Tuesday that the Times would have had no story.

It may be a coincidence. But many note that there has been a cascade of such coincidences with the Times coverage. I was amused to note that in the paper's coverage today, there was no mention of the huge Schwarzenegger rally yesterday at the State Capitol until the 18th paragraph of the story. The story then reported the crowd as being half the size it actually was -- there were 10,000 people there, much bigger than any Capitol rally in recent years -- and also reported that Schwarzenegger was nearly drowned out by protesters.

The truth is that I was on the risers with most of the press and I didn't hear the protesters. Schwarzenegger was never in any danger of being drowned out.

Does that mean hell is freezing over?

Hey Red Dawn:

What kind of comment is this? Wait, I guess I have to agree with it....

I live just a few miles outside DC. Love my friends and family here; jaded to the politics.

Good one, Red!

Ath:

All of which doesn't mean the story has real legs. Remember Jessica Lynch, who single-handedly defeated the Iraqi Army, shot down the entire Syrian Air Force, and personally Bobbitted a whole cadre of rag heads before she was captured? Every newspaper in the country repeated the story like it was true. If this story had any real substance-and wasn't urban legend-the Elephant Noses would have sniffed it out long ago. I can't stand Gray Davis, so believe me, I carry no brief for that guy. Anyone with a haircut like that should be selling vacs with GW. ,

It doesn't matter, because Arnold is going to win big. I can't wait to watch the next recall election in about 6 months....,

This isn't democracy, it's anarchy.
