"But the Emporer has nothing on at all," exclaims the little boy in the famous child’s story, The 
Emperor’s Clothes, by Hans Christian Anderson. The tale refers to a ruler who has no clothes on, but no one is willing to say anything except a small innocent boy.
That tale makes me think very much of former California Governor, now Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown. He comes from a ‘Royal" family as the scion of the late great Governor Pat Brown, but his own time on the thrown was market by lunacy and liberalism gone awry. Years later, "Emperor Brown" is now the Mayor of one of the most crime-ridden cities in California. Yet he campaigns for office as if he has some sort of tough-on-crime record of which to be proud (as opposed to his real legacy, the appointment of anti-death penalty advocate Rose Bird to the California Supreme Court).
Everyone around Jerry Brown wants to be enamored with his family pedigree, and doesn’t want to see his poor track record on law enforcement issues on a statewide or local level for what they are. No one is willing to tell the Emporer he has no clothes. Well, we shouldn’t say no one.
State Senator Chuck Poochigian is running a strong campaign for Attorney General, having raising millions of dollars which he still has on hand because he cleared his GOP primary. Unlike Brown, Poochigian has a strong track record on law and order issues.
This morning, the Poochigian campaign has unveiled a new online video to remind everyone about Brown’s record on crime…entitled – Jerry Brown…Good for Business? You can watch it here.
