Schwarzenegger Humiliating Himself and California

Posted by paradox
Herr GröpenFührer has fallen flat on his face out of the gate for his grand adventure as the Governor of California. Consider:
Herr GröpenFührer finds himself hemmed in by Proposition 98, which mandates that 40% of the State’s funds go to education. What to do? Why, just suspend the constitution.
You read that right, gentle reader. Our constitution isn’t really meant to be taken seriously, so just chuck it if things don’t work out. It takes two-thirds votes in both the House and Senate to do this, something as likely as pigs flying to the moon.
It’s abundantly clear that Herr GröpenFührer doesn’t have a clue as to what to do, and all too predictably doesn’t care a whit for floating asinine policy ideas, breaking promises, or making stupid and inflammatory legislative tactics.
It’s a total disaster. California’s credit rating has been chopped again—only Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia share it. Soon cops and firefighters will get fired up and down the state. The legislature is in chaos and relations with the Herr GröpenFührer are already trashed. Education is going to take a heavy hit. Confidence in the ability of our Governor is already plummeting.
Will Oprah Winfrey have Arnie on his show now that things have gone to hell? Will Darrell Issa come forth to take credit for what a great idea the recall was? Will George Schultz waltz around singing the praises of libel? Will the folks who voted for him actually pay attention to what he’s doing now that he’s got the job?
Dream on. California has driven itself over the cliff with the recall, and how hard we crash is anybody’s guess. It’s already extremely ugly, and a lot of our citizens are going to get hurt very badly from the wreck.
