Anyone else find incredible irony in a “Republican” governor that has run his state into the ground, and is now\u00a0lauding the stimuless bill?<\/p>\n

In an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union<\/a>, Schwarzenegger said he welcomes his state’s share of the massive $787 billion package, believing it could create as many as 400,000 new jobs.<\/p>\n

“We welcome this economic stimulus package. I think it’s terrific and will help us,” the California governor said. “We were happy even though there’s\u2026people complaining. It’s not what they envisioned, but what is? The people will give you 1,000 different answers.<\/p>\n

“It was Obama that got elected. He put the package together, so let’s support it,” he also said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ahnold, I loved you in True Lies but in real life you are an “ee-dee-yot.” There is nothing “terrific” in the rest of us bailing you out after years of deficits and mismanagement of your state.<\/p>\n

What a sad artifact of a bygone era that moniker is. Arnold Schwarzenegger circa the 2003 \u201ctotal recall\u201d election was going to sweep all before him as California governor, bringing the same \u00e9lan and toughness he had on the big screen to fighting special interests and restoring his beloved state to competitiveness.<\/p>\n

With no screenplay to save him, the much-reduced Governator simply buckled and switched sides.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, California may serve as a model for the rest of the nation, now following in California’s footsteps.<\/p>\n

California Democrats are only slightly ahead of national Democrats, so the country\u2019s fiscal future may be in preview in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

The state has been buffeted by the housing crisis, but the ultimate cause of the mess is relentless, heedless overspending.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Sorry Mr. Kennedy-Shriver, its time to cut the mooring lines and let Caleefohnia float out to sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
