FLASHPOINT for Apr 16, 2007
Monday, April 16, 2007 | 7:35 a.m.
The AP's Kathleen Hennessey recently summed up the Gib- bons administration in 800 words for a national audience. Let's see what I can do in one-sixth the space: Misleading midnight swearing-in. Dramatic change in budget. Small fingerprints on budget. Not empowered about empowerment. No way to all-day. Transportation problem? What transportation problem? Let's study it. Don't know her name but she's from India. FBI investigation into coziness with contractor. State probe into secret legal defense fund. First lady as assemblywoman promoted contractor and got paid for it. Twenty-nine percent like him. Democrats pay reporters to write bad stories about me. Recall? That's nuts. How's that for a summation?
