The other night I dreamt of knives

Must. Comment.
The head of the California Republican Party is live on Today right now, and has just cried and declaimed what an awful job Gray Davis has done; his first and primary complaint is that the state started with a $10m surplus and is now in a $39m deficit. And that, friends, is grounds for recalling a publically elected official. I wonder if anybody else falls under this criterium.....

There will be no commenting about the fact that, despite there being 320987432874 candidates on the ballot, only two people representing two parties (Well. One.) are allowed to comment.

a lot of people voted for him. I say it's because they're idiots.

I say it's because of two factors:

1) The California GOP would rather piss and moan and whine about being out of power when it's patently obvious the ideologues acceptable to the party's hard right (and hence survive through a primary) will never ever get elected in centrist California. Only a slightly right of center Republican (there is a derisive term for such a person: RINO, Republican In Name Only) can really win in this state.

2) Davis' hachet men took out the only realistic GOP opposition in the last election: Riordan. The Bill Simon campaign was the most spectacular failure I've ever watched.

The axes are being sharpened for Ahhhnold, just like Riordan. In the next few weeks, we'll see the following memes about the Gubernator: 1) He has Nazi affliations, 2) He's a philanderer, and 3) He's run some shady business deals.

As far as specific comments of some GOP shill, well, I didn't hear 'em, but I think it's a pretty good case to throw someone out of office when they manage to turn a $10 billion surplus into a $38 billion deficit in just two years. Now /that's/ some spending for ya.

Bush is weak on this issue. It makes me wonder why Dean and his fellow Presidential hopefuls are foaming at the mouth about Niger and yellowcake instead.

(More on that at my right wing death beast blog.)

Gubernator

bumblepudding came up with a similar name. He was using Governator. Hee!
