I’m referring, of course, to the California recall election. I have a sneaking suspicion that if Missouri had a recall election, not only would it have not generated the same amount of coverage in California as California’s did in Missouri, it wouldn’t have generated the same amount of coverage in Missouri.
Thanks to the LA Times (official cheerleader of the Keep Davis campaign), we know that Arnold (you really don’t need his last name to know who I’m talking about, and I can’t spell it anyway) liked to compliment women while he groped them. What we don’t know is that Grey Davis liked to belittle them while he shook and non-sexually abused them. Some choice. Well, if I lived in CA, I’d be voting for McClintock anyway.
Now that the same “feminist” brigades that lept to Bill Clinton’s defense are now denouncing Arnold for the same behavior towards women, we can all see that it isn’t about the women, it’s about the abuser. Thanks for clearing that up. Of course, there was a difference: Arnold has now apologized and said what he did was wrong; Bill Clinton still has others talk about a vast right-wing conspiracy. If Arnold had been a Democrat, he would have claimed that we barbarian Americans are too uptight about sexual matters and that such behavior isn’t just tolerated in Europe, but positively celebrated (along with mistresses, naturally).

I was struck by the coincidence that both Willie Brown and Susan Estrich were not parroting the CA Dem’s scorched earth mantra the night of the election results (which lasted for about four seconds: as soon as polls closed at 8pm all the cable channels were flashing “Arnold Wins” or “Davis Recalled”) and are now on his ransition committee.

Coincidence? A couple of savvy political pros who can read polls is more like it.
