PHOTO I NEVER EXPECTED TO
PHOTO I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE IN THE WEEKLY STANDARD:
Yes, a Standard writer has Gary (described as "conservative") on his "short list" of Cali gubernatorial candidates. But that's only 'cause Hasselhoff isn't in the race. The piece, by Standard Assistant Managing Editor Victorino Matus, also includes perhaps the first mention in Weekly Standard history of the oft-feared but never-seen bully known as "The Gooch," and while Matus enumerates several key moments in 'Strokes' history, he conspicuously leaves out any acknowledgement of Nancy Reagan's famed guest appearance.
And in other recall news, the Schwarzenegger camp has hired billionaire investor Warren Buffett as an economic adviser. In an attempt to jazz up his "boring" public image, Gov. Davis has responded to the move by hiring Jimmy Buffett as his new chief of staff. Meanwhile, the Coleman campaign has brought aboard a business genius of its own: the noted Park Avenue industrialist Philip Drummond.
