While righteously defending republicans against non republicans, and decrying the republican bashing that MAY have gone on in California, Chris bashes non-republicans as unprincipled nincompoops while forgetting two very important facts. 1) George W. Bush is stupid and at this point, with republicans like John Ashcroft and his ilk, many freedom loving Americans do hate republicans. In fact, many hate democrats too. It's basically a "hate them all" relationship.
But let's examine a few "facts." Now I don't care for Gray Davis, but still the recall was not overwhelming. And secondly, Arnold doesn't even SMELL conservative. He is a "European Liberal." Or was that Eurotrash...I don't remember which :-)
Can you be clever and stupid at the same time? Why most certainly yes. See, for example Dubbya's poem to his wife:
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Oh my Lump in the Bed
How I've Missed You
That is likely the most clever thing Dubya has done to date as President. A marvelous summation of his relationship with his wife written with the skill of Justice Rhenquist. Contrast this with his social policies. At least Arnold will be able to read them in the original German..
