Last night was one of those nights where you just feel like tossing your cell phone into the swimming pool, or in this case, my friend Mike Schroeder’s swimming pool. Last night there was an intimate fundraising event for Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona at the home of Mike and Susan Schroeder, but I ended up missing most of the festivities as I hunted for that one spot in the backyard of the Carona Del Mar home where my cell phone could get good signal.
I was on the phone quite a bit as there was talk that Bob Salladay of the Los Angeles Times had "gotten a hold" of an audio tape, or a transcription of an audio tape of the Governor, his Chief of Staff Susan Kennedy, and a couple of others where there is some colorful talk about Assembly Republican Leader George Plescia, his predecessor Assemblyman Kevin McCarthy and Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia.
It took a while but I finally was able to have someone read to me a copy of the transcribed conversation — and when they did, I said to the person, are you kidding me? In the context of what was recorded in a couple of minutes of conversation, I can say this, with deference to my friend Bob Salladay, the Los Angeles Times is making SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING.

It would be wise for everyone to cancel their subscription of the “Left Angeles Times”.

The AP’s story is much more complete and objective. I’ve never susbcribed to the LAT and won’t even register to read it online.
