Not a parody, unfortunately 


Steve at Begging to Differ links to a blog by Gray Davis's wife Sharon. Steve also posts some quotes that makes it obvious that, unlike the other famous wife Sharon, Mrs. Davis isn't the brains of the family. Fortunately there are so many dumb quotes that Steve didn't get to all of them, so here are some others:

He promoted the most aggressive energy conversation program in the country and consumers conserved enough power to equal three new power plants.

So Gray Davis spent state money so people across America can talk about electrical power? No, wait, he had an energy conservation program, not an energy conversation program.

In 1998, when Gray first ran for Governor, many of the “so-called” political experts said we would never win.

Why are "so-called" in quotes? If you want to imply that the political experts aren't really experts, you should put the quote marks around "political experts". Otherwise you're just questioning your own use of the words "so-called".

Like most guys, my husband loves sports. It is probably because he played every sport he could when he was growing up. He still plays golf and we try to play together whenever possible. He is actually pretty good, averaging about a 15 handicap - not bad for someone who only gets to play about 6 times a year (I should add he played golf for two years on the Stanford Golf Team and had a much lower handicap.). He watches a lot more ESPN than CNN, FOX or MSNBC.

Trumpeting what a big sports fan your husband is makes a lot of people think you're lying. When politicians talk about sports they often make a fool of themselves (i.e., Ted Kennedy mispronouncing Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa as "Mike McGwire and Sammy Sousa").

Aside from the nearly constant media coverage, additional public appearances and seven-day-a-week schedule, our lives are going pretty much as normal – well, as normal as a political life can be…which is not very normal at all.

So which one is it, normal or not normal?

We focus on the positives.

This one fails the laugh test so much it could make George Costanza's mother laugh.
