Recently nicknamed Governor Moonbeam, because his policies change as often as the moon changes phases. Brown's reign has alienated many Californians. Several issues have pulled at his fingernails. Many felt he mishandled the Medfly crisis by hesitating before spraying infested areas fast enough with ample poison, and Brown's flings into Presidential politics also earned him much animosity, because he spent excessive amounts of time out of Sacramento.
