The ongoing fallout from the implosion at the California GOP continued today with an excellent article by Debra Saunders, of the San Francisco Chronicle. I am enclosing her article below, along with a letter sent to the Chronicle by Jim Hartman, a former member of the CA GOP Board of Directors.

My original report was spot on.
No good judge would allow two attorneys to argue against one. It’s called bullying. Not civil. And she ain’t OJ.

*NO, for the Republican party in
California to be successful…only
requires one thing: Tom Selleck
to run for Governor in 2010! For
those who remember the bad old days
before Arnold…those election nights were pretty sparce turn outs
and literally….no babes! After
Arnold came on the scene, Election night looked like Jack Kennedy memory night!
As Hyman Roth said to Michael
Corleone….about the Rosatto Bros.

(Re: The current Republican Tempest in a teapot of the
so-called leadership vacuum!”
The best comments are those left by fellow Republicans who can think and have the big picture in mind. Here is the link:http://pundits.thehill.com/2007/06/26/is-the-republican-party-doomed/#comments
Hanrattey’s running commentary will be interesting to follow. As for Fleischman and Jubal/ Cunningham and their respective websites, what I find interesting in both are the actions (OR LACK THEREOF) and running commentary (OR LACK THEREOF) by both individuals. Their comments that this is a minor blip and that all will be in order and that this was a breakdown in the ethics of the individuals is, on its face, amazing and unbelievable. Neither has any credibility to any great degree. And I work in Sacramento.
Lets review the Cal history-Jerry Lewis-John Doolittle-Richard Pombo-Gary Miller-what is consistent, excepting Miller, who is just stupid, are the themes: Republican Congressmen-Grover Norquist-Jack Abramoff-and these are only the California congressmen under investigation for ties to Norquist and Abramoff-now you add Nehring-Mathews-Kamburowski to the mix-the thematic players dont change-Abramoff-Norquist-Americans for Tax Reform-are we seeing a picture here? What I also find amazing is that not one Republican member of the legislature has commented on these dispicable elements-Could it be that they all remember the day several weeks ago when they all met with Grover Norquist to sign a “no new tax pledge” with one exception: Roger Niello who refused to go along with such nonsense saying that he didnt play such games. I’ll bet that Nehring and Kamburowski where there in Sacto with their ex-mentor Norquist. Could it be that the deafening silence on the part of the Republican caucus is the result of a memory jog of that day?
Kudos to Carla Marinucci and the SF Chronicle for the current and hopefully expanded expose, to Tim Morgan and Jim Hartman who have exposed the internal smell, and to the many moderate and centrist republicans out there who are frustrated at being marginalized by these NeoKlan thugs.
And Jubal, make sure that when you wear your sheets, that they are standard Klan issue white-dont use the Servite emblem-for it was when I went there many years before and I believe still is-I suggest that you call the US Supreme Court in DC and talk to their Operations people-Im sure that they can provide you with the name of the tailor that Rehnquist hired to come up with those hideous looking black robes with gold stripes-not standard court issue and a Rehnquist thing. Im sure that they would be happy to help a fellow NeoKlan like you.
You and Fleischmann could then have your own Blog robe-just make sure that you both use the pointed KKK hat.
Let us know when and where your secret initiation ceremonies are going to be held. Im sure that you could use the Mater Dei gym and basketball court (and probably get their coaching staff to help you organize this when they are not involved up to their eyeballs in their legal problems. BTW, Cunningham, invest in a basic college english composition class:your writing leaves much to be desired at times.
As an advisory group, I would suggest getting the California Republican Congressman (and former-Pombo is itching to participate) now under investigation by the Justice Department (see list above)- I would suggest that you call yourselves the CALIFORNIA NEOKLAN REPUBLICANS FOR CHANGE-your letterhead logo should include the statement: “Where greed is king, white is right, and personal and professional ethics are unnecessary”.
Most assuredly, you will be a big hit.
Im sure that now is not the time to be concerned with this as you and Fleischman are trying desparately to figure out how to prevent any further embarassing revelations about the CRP-Nehring must go (based not only on this situation but on his previous shenanigans in San Diego involving the SDRCC before he became chair) if the CRP is to function in a credible manner-and for that matter so should members who supported this decision.
