YAre we talking about Tookie Williams again? Whew. The world is laughing (or crying) about who's Governor of California? Right. They're not inclined to laugh about the incredibly consistent failures of their own governments, particularly compared with California's overall success. They're not inclined to laugh at their own leaders' ineptnes, visible for 20 to 50 years and manifested by double-digit unemployment rates, racial and religious unrest and revolution, including terrorist attacks, massacres of their citizens, starvation, tax structures and economic policies which stifle even the most persistent efforts at economic growth . . . but they're laughing at Arnold. Executing a convicted murderer, in accordance with the law in place at the time of his election somehow transfers to a Congress (which murders, also), the President, foreign and domestic policy, blah, blah, blah. Yourinmysoul, you've got the liberal talking points down pretty well (it's all Bush's fault, he'a a murderer, an idiot, his administration is all murderers and incompetents) . . .oh, you forgot that they're all LIARS!!, too. Try to find a way to include that in your next diatribe. Look, Arnold was elected by the people of California, according to their laws. Period. It's way too early to judge his competency, which deservedly is under close partisan scrutiny. But, to conclude that he's so bad, the entire rest of the world can safely laugh at his election jumps the gun. Most governors get between 2 and 4 years before they even have to run for re-election.
