In reply to the discussion: How about some appreciation for the man as he rides off into the sunset [View all]Algernon Moncrieff
(5,780 posts)50. On balance, more good than bad
He solved a huge budget crisis. He can't get enough credit for that.
I miss the first time, when he was dating Linda Ronstadt.
I voted for him in the '92 Presidential primary. Some guy named Clinton best him.
His dad was a great governor who we all wish had gotten a 2nd term.
California AG. Mayor of Oakland. Overall, an excellent career.
My bone to pick was that he was always right fisted with UC.
