As I was listening to the Govenator's speech to the Sacramento Press Club, I am dismayed yet again by his ability to say a whole lot of absolutely nothing. It reminds me of the governor in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, who is a caricature politician. So is Schwarzenegger, really. But the problem is that he's technically real.
The most annoying thing is the way he "sidesteps" being critical of the Bush Administration by claiming that issues such as the war in Iraq and Border issues are "national issues", so he claims to have no opinion of them. Ummmmm...hello? We are a BORDER (*^%^% STATE, so please give Californians at least a semblance of the illusion that you possess independent thoughts. By not stating an opinion or worse, intimating that state politicians (and, by extension, their constituents) should ignore what's going on in Washington and simply smile wanly as George Bush leads us further down this bizarre road we're on right now.
