Governator

Who needs Governor Moonbeam when you have the Governator:Â
 From Tom Mcclintock Letter
Governor Schwarzenegger made quite a splash at the National Press Club yesterday, lecturing both the President and Congress on his “post-partisan†leadership in California. While modestly saying that he didn’t claim to be Ghandi, he noted that by inviting California’s Democratic leaders into his smoking tent, he was able to get them to agree to such break-through policy reforms as raising the minimum wage to one of the highest levels in the nation, embarking on the biggest borrowing binge in the state’s history, and adopting unprecedented restrictions on commerce and industry to combat global warming.
But this was not merely idle boasting. Later that day, Gov. Schwarzenegger offered a textbook example of his new “post-partisan†leadership when he brought together the Democratic governors of Arizona, New Mexico, Washington and Oregon to announce a regional accord to combat global warming.
As the San Francisco Chronicle reported, “But officials with the governors…indicated that they were not close to adopting the same kind of strong global-warming law that California has in place.†Alas, even in an era of post-partisanship there are limits to how far left you can go.
