I kinda liked old Moonbeam - in fact I think we need more like him.
For instance, while governor and while promoting the idea that we need
to make do with less, he lived in a small apartment and drove  himself
around Sacramento in a 10+ year old Plymouth.  No limo or governor's
mansion for him.  Also, while mayor of Oakland, he lived in an
apartment in a high crime area so he could see first hand what the
people endured.  He got to see a couple of murders on his block.
