Dirty Pool - A rare

Dirty Pool - A rare listen to Limbaugh today nearly forced me off the road.

Rush played the new Gray Davis spot, targeted against Schwartzenegger.

The spot noted in grave tones that Schwartzenegger's father had been a Nazi Party member (although not a war criminal) and that he'd been cleared of charges of domestic abuse (When DID you stop beating Maria, Mr. Schwartzenegger?)

I'm not a huge fan of the recall - I think it's very, very bad policy in general. And I'm not a Californian (and I don't believe Minnesota has a recall provision), so my opinion is worth what you're paying for it.

But with an ad like that, I think recall is probably too good for Gray Davis and his campaign. They're clearly scraping the ground below the bottom of the barrel.

UPDATE: An email correspondent tells me the "ad" was actually a Limbaugh production - but that there is some sort of Davis "Arnold's a Nazi" spot in circulation in California.

Gack. Even when I'm wrong, I can't make it up fast enough.
