You must not pay much attention to the news business if you've never heard of him before. He's one of the most respected reporters in the country. That ain't Kool-Aid talking. That's a fact.

Astounding, in fact. There's a good reason he has never lost at Trivial Pursuit - or any other trivia game! - in his entire life. It's the same reason they picked him to go on Jeopardy.<br /><br />I also have to laugh at these people who think he's out to get Jerry Brown. Ha!

He said he "probably shouldn't have." I think that settles it. Who cares if he recorded them or took notes at that very second - if Brown admits them and doesn't deny them? Which he certanily could have and would have done, if they were inaccurate in any way.<br /><br />But he said he thought they were off the record. He said legally and technically, they were on the record, but he "assumed" they were off the record. <br /><br />He is the state attorney general. He has been a politician for years and years and years. Shouldn't he know by now what on the record and off the record mean?<br /><br />William, I agree with Doug here.

Once again, for the umpteenth time, Jerry referred to Goebbels. Now YOU are calling it a Nazi reference? I thought you were so angry that so many others referred to it that way.<br /><br />And once again, no it was not taken out of context at all - and I have to wonder why you keep insisting it was, as if that's a fact. Were you there? What is this mysterious context to which you keep referring?<br /><br />And if you read my earlier responses, you'd know that I do in fact have notes.<br /><br />If you knew how busy I am, and how hard I work - 11 hours today at the gay marriage trial - you'd understand why the blog is neglected for days at a time. And again, I'm puzzled why, if you believe no one ever reads or cares about my blog, you think I would somehow know that the Whitman campaign would seize on it and blast it out.<br /><br />And actually, I am a political writer.
