Time to link a Jill Stewart column
In honor of the first-ever recall moment. Stewart plays it down the middle in her new Capitol Punishment column, referring to "the dopes trying to recall Gray Davis and the buffoons trying to keep Davis in office." She seems to accept Pat Caddell calling California Republicans "the dumbest people I have ever met," and herself finds the state's Right clueless about the potential of the Latino vote:
This is just the sort of gaffe that tells you exactly how people in the California Republican Party still think. It's still as white as snow. It's still as out of it as a comatose patient in an intensive care ward.
Not that Democrats are any bargain, she says.
She especially likes the episode where some Dems, including Jackie Goldberg, were caught plotting to make the budget paralysis worse, not better.
Goldberg is head Machiavellian in Sacramento. As a Los Angeles City Councilwoman, this self-described feminist lesbian used to corner men in city hall and cry to get her way. That's right, she blubbered. Such schemers have stolen and ruined the once-grand name "progressive."
She wraps by questioning the L.A. Times' choice of questions to highlight from its own poll. Stewart also apparently has a piece on this coming Sunday's New York Times op-ed page.

Lee Abrams, Tribune Company's chief innovation officer, doesn’t seem too impressed with the Los Angeles Times. That’s the feeling I got when he appeared at the Los Angeles Press Club.
