Jerry Brown for Governor! I love ya, man! You’re a decent, well-intentioned, ethical
human being, and the entire nation would benefit if you were to lead the great

If there’s a heaven, you’re going. Straight up, bro. I’m behind you all the way.

BradBlog has been on the case of the faked/edited tapes. And the NYTimes furthering the myth/lie. Pimp costume was edited in later.
