Not so long ago, Remember the open mic incident? ;-) Lots of fun ahead.

Open Mic Catches California Democrats
(AP) - Unaware that a live microphone was broadcasting their words around the Capitol, Assembly Democrats meeting behind closed doors debated prolonging California's budget crisis for political gain. Members of the coalition of liberal Democrats talked about slowing progress on the budget as a means of increasing pressure on Republicans. A microphone had been left on during the closed meeting Monday, and the conversation was transmitted to about 500 "squawk boxes" that enable staff members, lobbyists and reporters to listen in on legislative meetings.

That is political gold. Even Gray Davis was never so corrupt with power to talk openly about savaging the California people for political advantage. He did so through incompetence. I hope Arnold and his surrogates use this incident as a rationale for cleaning house in Novemeber.
