Signing SB 1441 a "Susan Kennedy" Moment

I just about fell out of my chair about 10 minutes ago.  This Governor signed SB 1441, a perfectly hideous bill, so out of the mainstream of social thought that one has to wonder what the calculation is, exactly.  What is the political purpose?  Are there minions of newly energized transvestites now going to push Arnold over the top in November?  Probably not one tenth of the number of conservatives that will stay home in this election, in effect saying "to hell with it".

You can view a summary of the bill here, but I have to tell everyone bothering to read this, including the Governor's fundraisers, to quit calling because I ain't coming and I ain't giving.  I can understand triangulation, but this is the freaking gutter.   Had you worked the minimum wage deal and this bill signing into the text of the Governor's speech last Saturday he would have been booed out of the room.  This is a bill you didn't need to sign, and it now reduces your worth for second term to vetoes on about three issues (tax increases, single payer health care and relaxation of Workers Comp reform).  It used to be five but you've needlessly caved in on those.

And guess what?  I've got two hours on KMJ this Friday to talk about it, to 300,000 of my best conservative friends.  You've jumped the shark, Arnold, for no good reason whatsoever.  I would love to hear from someone on your staff to justify this move.  The talk lines are at 559-490-5858.

(for those without a sarcasm meter, the follwing is said with tongue firmly in cheek) Maybe Arnold's people don't want him to win by too overwhelming a margin. after all, that might help elect conservatives to statewide office like McClintock, and Strickland.

However, not too firmly in cheek, just enough to avoid being too conspiratorially minded.
