One of Jerry Brown's best moments came after Meg Whitman criticized him for opposing California's famed property tax limitation law, known as Proposition 13. Brown was against the legislation, he acknowledged. He said at the time that it would "bankrupt the state" -- which it has.
The minute Prop 13 passed, however, Brown was 100% behind "the will of the people" and was intricately involved in implementing it. In his best gotcha moment of the night, Brown pointed out that he was endorsed in his re-election campaign by the man who wrote Prop 13, Howard Jarvis, a guy who makes today's anti-government teabaggers sound like shrinking violets.
Point Brown.
