You weren't wrong. He *was* scapegoated and most newspapers actualy
pointed it out within 2 weeks *before* the recall -- much of the
success in *halting* Enron's ****ing around with energy supply
(particularly in San Diego, where that privitization scheme was first
experimented with), including price caps and lawsuits filed against
Enron, PG&E and so on, were instituted on Davis's watch by Davis's
people.
Problem is, and I'll admit it, the guy was blander than flavorless
Mylanta. I don't think personality alone is a legitimate excuse to
vote a person out of office, but by then, the three-ring circus of the
recall itself, with so many morons -- you know, Gary Coleman, ****
star Mary Carey, duh Ahnuld -- and non-morons (Arianna Huffington) had
taken over. Not even a truckload of substance could stop the media
circus of the recall by that point. Especially not with two certain
Fox-skewing L.A.-area talk radio anchors who shall remain nameless
egging the mob on.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
