Intellectual Dishonesty In California Politics

Interesting column by Sacramento Bee writer Dan Walters about State Treasurer Phil Angelides.
Unbelievably bad politics going on at the State level.

"Angelides is the state's banker, and one would expect that he would feel at least some compunction about the integrity of official financial reports. But he's also the leading Democratic candidate for governor and has never been shy about using his official position to tout himself or causes to advance his political career, or to undermine rivals."

"Angelides, moreover, has been accusing the governor of being too stingy in state spending on schools and other major programs. So on one hand, Angelides demands that Schwarzenegger spend many billions of dollars more, and on the other he taunts him to eliminate the gap between income and outgo."
