(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed his first major gay rights legislation on Monday, requiring insurance companies to provide coverage to registered domestic partners.
AB 2208, sponsored by Assemblywoman Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, will compel insurance companies to treat domestic partners the same as married spouses for health, life, auto, renters and homeowners insurance policies. Before, insurers were only required to offer domestic partners coverage equivalent to a dependent.
Ain't that just, well, sweet...
Savage is almost applauding the veto as we post, saying the Gub has stood up to the gay and lesbo lobbyists. :-

Great job Ah-Nold!!!!
Sounds like we have a little cognitive dissonance going on, eh?
In celebration, I will now go and clean litter trays and put the trash out.
Just the typical RINO con game.
Bawney Fwank now having major hissy fit.
I just heard Savage make a complete ass of himself interpreting the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. I've sent him the case law and the references to the Congressional Globe in 1866 showing that the original intent of the 14th Amendment was to DENY citizenship to children of foreigners born in the US, and he still babbles this crap.
Savage is sometimes a pompous idiot.
He mentioned earlier he may change his mind and run for Congre$$,, sounds like he's fully prepared and would fit right in.
I just switched to the Sean and RINO interview show for a bit.
Good for Ahnold! Well done.
BTTT
On the plus side, he also vetoed 2 minimum wage bills.
I'm still looking at today's list of 99.
That was also a sad day.
No surprise. This, another instance of his keeping his word and his endorsement of "parental notification for abortion" (Prop 73) still won't please some people around here.
The ilk won't be truly happy until they have a demonrat in control again.
The courts always get their way here and it's already on their plate. However, there's ALREADY an initiative petition circulating to amend the state constitution to define marriage and eliminate the equivalent under other titles.
They'll live. They don't need to get married anyway

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- People For the American Way (PFAW) issued the following statement upon Gov. Schwarzenegger's veto of AB 849, legislation that would have made California the first state to enact marriage equality:
"We are extremely disappointed the Governor has chosen to ignore the will of the people and instead keep discrimination on the books in California," said PFAW Western Region Executive Director Jeff Berman. "Instead of being a 'Last Action Hero' for fairness and basic rights, the Governor has endorsed discrimination against gays and lesbians."
