Bush and Schwarzenegger, a conspiracy?
Think about it, a chimp in the WH and a gorilla in CA.

What we are seeing is a primate takeover of the human race, planet of the apes is about to become reality!!

The most worrying thing of course is that the chimp is the intelligent one :scared:

[no offence to chimps or gorillas, who are without doubt preferable to both of the apes in office)

1. Jason Leopold gives the best arguement I have seen here.
Note: Bush screws Davis and California.

Total amnesia
Arnold can’t seem to recall anything about his secret meeting with Enron’s Ken Lay. Perhaps this will refresh his memory.

By Jason Leopold

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ken Lay leave Gray Davis and California ratepayers in the dark.

Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't talking. The Hollywood action-film star and GOP gubernatorial candidate in the state’s recall election has been unusually silent about his plans for running the Golden State. He hasn’t yet offered a solution for the state’s budget deficit, an issue that largely got more than 1 million people to sign a petition to recall Governor Gray Davis.

More importantly, however, Schwarzenegger still won’t respond to questions about why he was at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills two years ago where he, former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and junk-bond king Michael Milken met secretly with former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay, who was touting a plan for solving the state’s energy crisis. Other luminaries who were invited but didn’t attend the May 24, 2001, meeting included former Los Angeles Laker Earvin “Magic” Johnson and supermarket magnate Ron Burkle.

While Schwarzenegger, Riordan and Milken listened to Lay’s pitch, Davis pleaded with President George W. Bush to enact much-needed price controls on electricity sold in the state, which skyrocketed to more than $200 per megawatt-hour (four to five times the price it was a year earlier). Davis said that Texas-based energy companies were manipulating California’s power market, charging obscene prices for power and holding consumers hostage. Bush agreed to meet with Davis at the Century Plaza Hotel in West Los Angeles on May 29 of that year--five days after Lay met with Schwarzenegger--to discuss the California power crisis.

California went for Gore in '00, thus requiring the debacle in Florida to install the Dim Son as Pretzeldent. Rove/Bush/Cheney have never forgotten that. Davis had to be punished, AHH-nuld goes to DC to meet with Rove last spring (S'Yeah, Karl wants to "get buff", thet's the ticket...) Issa raises the $$$ to get the recall wheels turning, then "takes one for the team" when the Gropenator announces his candidacy.

So now the Granola State has another ReTHUG in the Governor's mansion, one who is known and loved by everyone (nevermind that what they're in love with is a gelatin image on a strip of polyester). California has waht, 50 electoral votes?
I could see in '00 that the BFEE doesn't give a rat's ass about the popular vote, they know it's the electors that decide things. Noew that they have a chance at getting 50 extra electoral votes, maybe they won't need Jebbie and Cruella Harris to do that voodoo theat they do so well again...
