[You Dirty Rats]

How drunk, stupid and just plain lame-brained were the idiots who set up this ridiculous system to both recall a governor and select a replacement in the same ballot.

I hope you are right, Congressman. I am afraid that with such a low percentage threshold required to win (what with 40-some candidates possible), some A-1 nutcase could squeeze through.

The other fear would be that as soon as Ah-nold or anyone else was elected Governor, their would be another recall effort. Kalifornia would then resemble the Roman Empire during the age of the Thirty Tyrants in the Third Century.

I realize Kalifornia has become a national joke, and that TV runs the entire state, but do we really need to have the largest state in the union select their Governor via the Gong Show?

Maybe all of this nonsense in Kalifornia and the ridiculous election of that carbetbagger, Shrillary, will make it obvious even to the elitists on both coasts that the real idiots aren't in the heartland, the Midwest, the South, or elsewhere in "Flyover Country" - they're in the land of the so-called beautiful people. No self-respecting Southern State, for example, would ever elect a carbetbagger Senator; no self-respecting Midwest State would ever select a Governor via The Gong Show. And yet the elitist culture, beginning with the media, wonders why they are losing ground with most of the people in the country. It's because nobody takes them seriesly anymore!!

Of coarse there will be another recall effort. There has always been a recall effort against every governer since the law started.

The recall against Davis is succeding because even the not normally political types feel he has failed us. Without this feeling, the recall against the next governer will likely be the typical obscure failure.

Hep me, hep me. There's something wrong here and I just can't figure it out.
