The Sacramento Bee today notes that Phil Angelides’ condemnation of Bob Mulholland’s comments on Friday doesn’t seem to have had much effect on his senior advisor. Kevin Yamamura writes: "Angelides disavowed the Mulholland remark … Mulholland didn’t heed the advice."
(Mulholland is pictured to the left speaking out against the recall of Governor Davis. As you can see, Mulholland isn’t just a jerk – he is a loser, too.)
The Schwarzenegger campaign is picking up on this today, with spokesman Matt David saying: "It’s clear Phil Angelides isn’t ready to run the largest state in the nation when he can’t manage a single member of his campaign staff. He acknowledged that the comments coming out of his campaign were offensive, but he failed to stop his senior aide from defending them."
And now this morning, Mulholland is continuing his loose-cannon rants on air with FlashReport correspodendent Karen Hanretty, who is filling in for Sacramento radio host Eric Hogue. Mulholland compared the Republican Party to the Communist Party: "I always say that the Republican Party and the Communist Party have a lot in common, which is they both oppose unions."
I’ve had enough run-ins with Mulholland at State GOP Conventions (he likes to come by and see how the ‘other half’ lives) to tell you that he is a walking ‘brain-cell depletion zone’.
As they say, developing…

I actually thought Mulholland comparing Republicans to the communist party was rather tame.

I actually thought they were kinda lame. Very old school…ala Atwater’s “hooked up to jumper cables” comment in 1980 against Tom Turnipseed…my sense is that Mulholland needs to attract the attention for his own self worth…
