Terminated!
With a rousing show of hands, California voters decided that they had had enough of the lies and mismanagement that has been the mark of the Gray Davis administration.
Over the last few months, the major papers had been ridiculing the recall. Many called it a zoo or a circus, pointing out the number of candidates that were to appear on the ballot. Even the voting public were ridiculing it as a circus and a zoo, complaining that we had too many candidates.
Hypocrites - all of you!
Every four years we have an election. Every four years we have our people complaining that we don't have enough choices and that they have to choose the lesser of two evils. Rather than vote for a candidate that they like they are forced to vote for the candidate that they dislike the least.
Well, we had a choice this time. In fact we had over a hundred choices. Some were colorful and some were dull. Some had good ideas and some were just idiots. Some were good looking and some were Angeline and Larry Flynt.
So, why would anyone complain about the election? It is just what everyone claims to want: Choices.
And really, the Democrats, who were against the recall election, should have been pleased as punch with the whole process. After all, they are always talking about how we need diversity. And,. last I saw we had diversity in the recall election. Really, it was amazing...
We had an Austrian born body builder turned actor who went from poverty to riches. Truly an example of the American dream. Ron Reagan with an accent - what the hell is he saying?
We had Angeline, a blonde in a bottle with more plastic than a toy factory and whos main claim to fame is a rich husband, a pink corvette and a few billboards with her image on it.
We had a porn star who knows more about screwing people than even Gray Davis.
We had Arianna Huffington, a Greek born pundit who turned her own husband on to Greek sex and then pissed off a lot of SUV drivers with her stupid comments.
We had Cruz Bustemonte, a "Mexican-American" whos best move in the debate was to talk down to Arianna Huffington as though she were Edith Bunker.
We had that Camejo guy who wooed us into sleep with his sparkling personality.
Then there was that other Arnold guy - you know the short black "Whutchoo talkin' bout" guy. It would have been interesting to see him in the governors booster chair.
Then there was Tom McClintock. A man who let his ass overwhelm his brain, probably pissing off a ton of Republicans by not getting out of the race when it was clear that he had no shot - Way to be a team player Tom!
And there were a whole slew of other, less colorful, folks who ran for governor. Truly, this was democracy at its best! Still, the papers and the people ridiculed it. Hypocrites, all! They should have been dancing in the streets while touting it as democracy as it was meant to be.
But, the best thing about it is that it has politicians quaking in their boots. If it happened in California it can happen anywhere. Maybe this will make the politicians listen to the people more, rather than lying and cheating their constituents for their own personal gain.
Look out Diane Feinstein!
