The Sacramento Bee is calling for a federal investigation into the Oracle scandal.

It will be interesting to see how the phalanx of anti-scandal Democrats responds to this, since the California governorship is the only major executive post they hold in the nation…

It’s even worse now. The SF Chronicle is piling on. They’ve run a story saying that this is going to be a tough deal to get out of. Sounds a lot like the idiotic energy deals, that are costing the state billions.

When a Democratic governor can’t get the SF Chronicle behind him, he’s in such deep kimchi that he can’t even see a way out. He should have quit while he was ahead (as Jerry Brown’s chief of staff). He’s an exemplary example of the Peter Principle.
