Indeed, within hours of Costa's suggestion, top aides to Schwarzenegger moved to distance the actor from Buffett's comments.
Mr. Buffett doesn't speak for Mr. Schwarzenegger," said Rob Stutzman, spokesman for Schwarzenegger's campaign. "Arnold Schwarzenegger has supported Prop. 13 for 25 years. ... Arnold is an admirer of Howard Jarvis and has referred to him as the original tax terminator." Jarvis and Paul Gann were the prime movers behind Prop. 13, the tax-slashing initiative approved overwhelmingly in 1978
A huzzah for Arnold. Good going.
I'll give him a "huzzah" when he comes out and says it himself.
Is he dead?
Why does he need someone else to convey his thoughts when he has a door to the national media darn near as big as Dubya's?
Something smells rotten with this whole Arnold thing.
