Today’s Commentary: ‘Golden Handshake’ time for Kennedy? :-)

There are a lot of interesting stories today.

The "must read" of the day is a column from veteran Los Angeles Times columnist George Skelton.  I don’t always agree with what George has to say.  As a matter of fact, if I did, George would tell you that HE would be worried.  George isn’t conservative, let alone as conservative as me.

But today he has written a column looking at the growing controversy surrounding the hire, last December of Democrat Susan Kennedy to be his Chief of Staff.  I have said (repeatedly) that I support this Governor – I think he is a smart, capable leader.  But the decision to bring back the Deputy Chief of Staff to the disgraced and recalled Gray Davis sent a chilling message to those of us that see this Governor as being totally against anything that Davis stood for — especially the ‘pay-to-play’ perception that permeated that administration.

    Jon, FYI – We’re now working on Parental Notification again (Prop. 73, part deux) and the transportation measure to close the loopholes in Prop. 42.
