Davis says comment was "joking around"
FRESNO, Calif. — California Gov.
Gray Davis was flanked by Hispanic law-
makers as he rode in an East Los Angeles Mexican Independence Day parade Sunday.
The Democratic governor, acknowledged saying "you shouldn't be governor unless you can pronounce the name of the
state," but said the comment was made in jest.
The remark, reported by the Sacramento Bee, was apparently a reference to Schwarzenegger's thick Austrian accent.
"I was just joking around with someone in the crowd," Davis said after the parade.
Schwarzenegger, campaigning in a heavily Hispanic Los Angeles suburb, said his pronunciation of "California" was just one of the words Davis didn't like to hear.
"He doesn't like 'blackouts,'"
Schwarzenegger said. "He doesn't like 'energy crisis.' And he definitely doesn't like 'recall."
At the Mexican Independence Day parade in Los Angeles, 42-year-old Olga Pizano said it was wrong for Davis to criticize Schwarzenegger's accent.
"Only Hispanics can say it right California," she said, rolling her "r." This was Mexico. You have to pronounce the 'r'.
