A little Arnie Action for ya

Arnie's Speech booed? What are those crazy Californians up to? Don't they know he's the Governator?

(From Yahoo News) "California Gov. Arnold faced down booing, jeering protesters on Tuesday as he delivered a commencement address at his alma mater, where tuition has risen as a result of his budget cuts.
. . .
Earlier in the day, a couple of hundred protesters representing unions, students and a smattering of other causes gathered for an anti-Schwarzenegger rally outside the college.

Trevor Dilling, a student who wore a chicken costume, said he was insulted by the governor's decision to speak at the college, which caters to mainly low income and minority students."

I'm not sure what the chicken suit is all about, but notice how the always insightful mainstream media mentions that as if to some how delegitimize the student position (I mean, if they can be funny, they can't be serious, right?). Who needs a discussion of why such quaint notions as pensions and tenure are important to teachers and other public servants (who make significantly less than their public sector counterparts I might add)?

Well, I say more power to you Trevor.

Arnie is a chicken, a wimp, and a girlie-man, if you must go there (and I think we must). He's the man who promised Californians that he was so rich he couldn't be bought. He promised to be an independent. He promised it would not be "business as usual" in California. And yet he there is, towing the anti-union party line and spouting the public servant-bashing Republican talking points. Serving last year's warmed over policy points like last week's warmed over corned beef hash (and smelling up the place while he is at it).
