After suffering an overwhelming defeat of all four of his "year of reform" measures in the November 8 special election, California's Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, decided he had to shake up his cabinet. His appointment of Susan Kennedy as his new chief of staff registered a 9.9 on the political Richter scale & may have started a tsumani that will have enornous impact on Golden State politics. "The Governator" would have been hard pressed to find any candidate more certain to inflame & alienate the people who elected him to office.
What's so significant about Susan Kennedy? Here are a few clues:

Arnold has been pandering to the left since day one of his administration. THIS is one example of it. Remember in last year's GOP Convention when he criticized what he called "economic girliemen"? Notice he didn't say "GIRLIEMEN"....he didn't want to offend the SOCIAL girliemen that he so strongly supports.

She’s not just a radical Democrat, but a former executive director of the California Democratic Party and the number two cabinet official to former Democrat Governor Gray Davis, whom Schwarzenegger unseated in the 2003 recall election.

Would that be the Abortion notification law he proposed or the anti-union law?
Licences for illegal aliens? Lowered car tax?
The following legislation was approved by Governor Schwarzenegger on September 29, 2005, the same day the media singularly reported on his veto of the Gay Marriage legislation.
• AB 1400 by Assemblymember John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) - Unruh Civil Rights Act: marital status and sexual orientation
The Unruh Civil Rights Act (Act) provides that all persons, regardless of their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, or medical condition are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges and services in all business establishments of every kind. This bill clarifies that marital status and sexual orientation are among the characteristics that are protected against discrimination by business establishments under the Act. This bill also imports into the Act definitions of the terms "disability," "religion," "sex," and "sexual orientation" from the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and includes, in enumerating the above characteristics, the perception of those characteristics and association with a person who has or is perceived to have those characteristics as being within the protected categories. These definitions will be integrated into other related provisions of the Act.• SB 973 by Senator Sheila Kuehl (D-Santa Monica) - Public employees' retirement: domestic partners.
Bill amends the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS), and the County Employees Retirement Act of 1937 to entitle retired members to elect to change optional retirement allowances to provide for their domestic partners.• SB 565 by Senator Carole Migden (D-San Francisco) - Property tax reappraisal exclusion: domestic partners.
Prior to this bill, there was no domestic partner exclusion that equates to the interspousal exclusion. This bill establishes an exclusion from reassessment for transfers of real property between registered domestic partners. The author indicated that the bill is intended "to guarantee equality for all Californians, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, and to further the state's interests in protecting Californians from the potentially severe economic and social consequences of abandonment, separation, the death of a partner, and other life crises."• AB 1586 by Assemblymember Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) - Insurers: health care service plans: discrimination.
This bill adds additional language to existing anti-discrimination provisions under the Health and Safety Code and the Insurance Code to clarify that state law prohibits insurance companies and health care service plans from discriminating on the basis of gender in the creation or maintenance of service contracts or the provision of benefits or coverage. Defines the term "sex," in existing law that prohibits health care service plans (health plans) and insurers from specified discriminatory acts, to have the same meaning as "gender," as defined under the Penal Code, as specified.• AB 1142 by Assemblymember Marvyn Dymally (D-Compton) - HIV/AIDS: African-Americans: statewide initiative.
This bill establishes the Statewide African-American Initiative to address the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on the health of African-Americans by coordinating prevention and service networks around the state in an effort to increase the capacity of core service providers.• AB 228 by Assemblymember Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) - Transplantation services: human immunodeficiency virus.
Prohibits health care service plans (health plans) and health insurers from denying coverage for organ or tissue transplantation services on the basis that an enrollee, subscriber, insured, or policyholder is infected with HIV.
I checked your posts...Thanks for making California worse!
Who cares if she's gay, as long as she's qualified to do her job. It's not like he appointed her to be pope or to head up his traditional-family-values program or something.
