Political quote of the day:
bq. “San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown observed to a TV reporter last week: “The people in California – as in many places – are pretty sick of people like Willie Brown. They’re pretty sick of politicians, smooth operators, who claim they’re going to do something and they don’t do it.”
That’s the most perceptive thing I think I’ve ever heard him say.
Only Tom Ammiano could have lost the last mayoral race to that buffoon.
This is Willie Brown we’re talking about here. Had the voter not passed the term limit, he’d still be the Speaker of the Assembly (a post he held for over 10 years). Quite frankly, he’ll never lost an local election in his district (and that’s not a compliment).
