Ho ho … Riordan finally hit back. The Channel 2 news just had a commercial explaining the former LA mayor’s position on abortion — he doesn’t like it, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t support a woman’s right to do whatever — and letting the Home Viewer know just how much Gray “Singapore” Davis took from Enron: $119,000. Jeez, Ashcroft only took half of that.
This is a story I’ve been following, but leave it to the Bloggers to cover it when the media aren’t. I found no mention of Riordan’s response in the political press, but here it is.
Riordan’s response is cool, well-timed, and effective. Davis is just trying to jerk his chain into saying something intemperate, because Riordan has the reputation for being off-the-cuff. But he took Davis’ bait and made him eat it, which is the right way to handle the little dictator.
