Gray Davis, like Al Gore in 2000, a class act. Honest liberals can't help
it, they have too much integrity for "our" own good. Davis is busting ass helping with the CA fires and giving Ah-nuld every possible assistance. Just as Al was gracious after Shrub stole the election 3 years ago. It sure as hell is a one-way street with the repub bastards, though.
:grr:

1. Davis is a class act
He's doing his best in this crisis. I'm thankful he is still Governor during this crisis. Let it start, Arnie will start blaming Davis for this when we all know the truth.

2. Gray Davis truly is a class act.
Edited on Sat Nov-01-03 10:34 PM by meti57b
He has been a terrific governor. He did the best anyone could possibly do with the CA energy crisis and budget. With all the slander against him, he still only got two or so points less than an apparently popular movie celebrity multi-millionaire.

He is truly gracious in how he leaves office. Thank you Gray Davis! I will miss you.

3. I was truly moved by his farewell address
He showed a ton of class and manliness. At least he'll stop having to govern through a situation he had little control over. I believe he lost the office because he had no friends, no because he was a bad governor. He just wasn't exciting enough for people, in a time of crisis.

4. I am so mad at Democrats who did not stand beside Al and Davis
Also, here is a quote from Gore that sums it up:

Eighty five years ago there was a poet who wrote a poem that included these lines: "The best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity. And the centre cannot hold." Sometimes I listen to some of those right wing talk radio people and I think the worst are full of passionate intensity. And then sometimes I hear people who agree with you and me about what's right and what needs to be done and how much work is still undone, and they're laying back. And they think "Ah, I don't think it really makes any difference." And I think: hmmm. The best lack all conviction.
