Heard it through the grapevine.....
People are saying that between now and Recall Election Eve, the California version of the 5,000-pound Anchor is gonna drop on the Ahnuld campaign. It's gonna make the groping and the doping and the Nazi infatuation pale by comparison - and if it's dropped at the right time, there will be no time to spin it.... stay tuned.
While we're waiting for that particular shoe to drop, you might want to hurry over to Greg Palast's web site and read about Ahnuld's Enron connection - seems he got some info that may explain why the Gropernator is running in the first place.
Now, thirty-four pages of internal Enron memoranda have just come through this reporter's fax machine tell all about the tryst between Maria's husband and the corporate con men. It turns out that Schwarzenegger knowingly joined the hush-hush encounter as part of a campaign to sabotage a Davis-Bustamante plan to make Enron and other power pirates then ravaging California pay back the $9 billion in illicit profits they carried off.Here's the story Arnold doesn't want you to hear. The biggest single threat to Ken Lay and the electricity lords is a private lawsuit filed last year under California's unique Civil Code provision 17200, the "Unfair Business Practices Act." This litigation, heading to trial now in Los Angeles, would make the power companies return the $9 billion they filched from California electricity and gas customers.
It takes real cojones to bring such a suit. Who's the plaintiff taking on the bad guys? Cruz Bustamante, Lieutenant Governor and reluctant leading candidate against Schwarzenegger.
Much more at the link.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
Anchor? Ahh-nold? Drop the whole frigging battleship on him and we'll be getting somewhere!
Conservatives are like roaches...they keep coming back around after you think you killed them...so you have to make sure you grind them up good with the heel of your shoe.
