SACRAMENTO — In the sanctuary of his Capitol office with an audio recorder rolling, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger describes Republican legislators as the "wild bunch" and, referring to a Latina lawmaker, casually says that "black blood" mixed with "Latino blood" equals "hot" — a fiery personality.
The governor is heard on a six-minute recording, obtained by The Times, of a meeting with some members of his inner circle last spring. At the time, Schwarzenegger was struggling to persuade Republican lawmakers to embrace his plan to place billions of dollars in borrowing on the November ballot.It's unclear why the session was taped, but Schwarzenegger occasionally records private meetings so that speechwriters, in particular, can keep a record of his thoughts and cadence. This audio recording mainly consists of relaxed banter among Schwarzenegger and a few aides, and it offers an unusually candid look at his administration when the doors are closed.
On the recording, Schwarzenegger's Democratic chief of staff, Susan Kennedy, says Assembly Republican leader George Plescia of San Diego resembles a startled deer. That draws a chuckle from the Republican governor, who a moment earlier had referred to Plescia's predecessor, Assemblyman Kevin McCarthy, as "Bakersfield boy."

The Governator calls it as it is... No wonder the liberals hate him.
So its OK to publish an off-the-record conversation of an American citizen, but it's not OK to know what phone numbers our enemies might use?
Susan Kennedy cussing out and insulting Republican legislators on behalf of the Governor. How quaint.
LIberals hate him? How about real conservatives loathing him?
California is a crazy place.

The article mentions the hot blooded Garcia, which is fine, a minute later they elaborate on the hot blooded Garcia thing again, which is fine, then they finish with the hot blooded Garcia thing, which seems like a punctuation, and an attempt to awaken a reaction in the reader.
Well, is she hot?
This incident is making Latinos furious - piping hot.
