I feel a Great Wavering coming on, issuing forth from Arnold, shaking the ground beneath our feet.
I was thinking that at first... but I've since learned that Arnold HAS denied clemency for others. I have more confidence that he'll let justice take its course.
You are absolutely right. Arnold has been dealing with the Democrats in CA. The first part of this deal was the hiring of his new Chief of Staff. The second will be clemency for Tookie. It will be interesting to see what he has traded his soul for.
So do I. "Tookie" cheats death, Arnold commits political suicide. Arnold pleads Maria's influence.
He knows his career as governator is finished, so he'll pardon this murderer to please his leftie friends in Hollywood, who will reward him with another trio of movies at $20 million each for Arnold.
Happily Ever After for another Republican who screws conservatives. Same ol', same ol'.
