You don't think anyone would hold this against Bill Lockyer in a future campaign for Governor as a Democrat do you? Sacramento Bee blogger Daniel Weintraub has the story. Here's an excerpt:

You know who works hard and who doesn't. You know who is honest and who isn't. Cops know that about cops. Doctors know that about doctors. I know that about politicians.
