Never forget history and politics-which don't always mix just right:
All the mistakes made on Vietnam were by Kennedy and Johnson, who were advised by the same idiot, Robert McNamara. But the left and their lapdog press made it "Nixon's war". Breaks of the game, and Nixon knew as well as anyone...
Now comes California, and ANYONE seen as an enviro-whacko or an appeaser of the radical environmental left will see their political career fry like a cheap hot dog by the end of this summer. Davis has a chance, still, and a slim one. But as long as all you hear from him is "price gauging", and as long as he continues to use the word "environment" (the new 4-letter word in CA politics for 2002) his career is cooked, pure and simple. And, when the smoke starts to rise from it, everyone else who is at least partly to blame will transfer their blame to him.
That's politics, and if you do it for a living, you should realize it. |
