The Top Ten Silver Linings from the California Recall Election
Chuck Kuffner nails the California Recall:
10. At least there won't be a recount.
9. After last week, Arnold now has a much better idea of which women won't mind being groped.
8. Maybe this idea of tossing out people who turn surpluses into deficits will catch on, say, next November.
7. I'll take any distraction from Cubs fans moaning about last night's game at this point.
6. With any luck, Terminator 4 will be shelved indefinitely.
5. You know how everybody loves the backup quarterback until he actually has to play in a game? That's what Arnold will feel like when he finally has to come up with a specific proposal on the budget.
4. California once again takes the lead over Texas in the Most Embarrassing State Politics race.
3. As such, when I'm in France next week, I can tell people "Well, at least I'm not from California."
2. Whoever reserved RecallArnoldNow.com got their money's worth.
And the #1 Silver Lining from the California Recall Election:
1. The next time I hear someone gripe about know-nothing celebrities spouting off on politics, I will say "Two words: Governor Schwarzenegger."
Which, frankly, beats the Hell out of "Governor Perry".
