From the SF Chronicle - Clinton on recall: 'Don't do this' :
Los Angeles -- Former President Bill Clinton, speaking at an African American church where Democrats have found comfort in the past, made his most forceful public indictment of the California recall Sunday, calling it a Republican power grab that goes beyond just the career of Gov. Gray Davis.The forces of darkness are everywhere I guess. Pardoned any terrorists lately, Bubba?
...
Later, he told reporters the campaign to oust Davis isn't a right-wing "conspiracy" but an out-in-the-open attempt to "shred the Constitution."
But there were other amusements at the Bubbafest:
Later, Clinton and Davis emerged from the La Golondrina restaurant into a closed-off street full of vendors selling sombreros and trinkets, and the crowd pressed in under the intense sun. As Clinton answered questions from reporters, a Latino man yelled, "Thanks, Mr. Davis, for the driver's license!" (Davis only days ago signed a measure allowing illegal immigrants to obtain licenses.)How satisfyingly diverse!
And the NY Post has more in Bubba Leads Gray Hooray:
But the event was not without circus-like elements.Sheesh, it should have been Bubba's face!
Among the 2,000 people in the congregation was actor Robert Blake, who is awaiting trial for the murder of his wife.
Blake is free on $1.5 million bail and has been attending services at the church for about a month.
When Clinton quoted the passage from the gospel of John, "He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone," Blake's face appeared on a TV screen set up in the church.
