Kiss of Death?

California
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante (R) and the
Rev. Jesse
Jackson chat following a rally at Pacifica of the Valley Hospital September
17, 2003 in Sun Valley, California, to oppose the recall election. California’s
political war raged on two fronts as lawyers fought over an appeals court’s
decision to postpone the Oct. 7 recall election and candidates soldiered
on as if the ruling never happened.

Let me get this straight. This guy Bustamonte is the leading Democrat
in the California Recall Election, and he’s going to a rally AGAINST that
election. He’s in hot water for associating with some questionable Chicano
organization, so he decides to chat up that paragon of popularity Jesse Jackson. And
is that Kobe Bryant lurking in the background? Who plans his political strategy,
Hugo Chavez?
