Schwarzenegger Comes Unhinged Governor Paranoid

by Carol Norris in Counterpunch (link)
Carol Norris writes that the Schwarzenneger luster was all cosmetic.
"...Schwarzenegger, who undoubtedly has an eye on the White House with only a tweak of a prerequisite in the way, is in trouble. With an ever-dwindling 34% approval rating, one of the lowest in the state's history, the people of California are seeing the real Schwarzenegger, not the larger than life fantasy man, armed with clichéd, scripted dialog. Schwarzenegger has devalued and verbally abused our nurses, our teachers, our firefighters, and our disabled community. He has failed to "clean house" in Sacramento, ironically doing just the opposite - spending the bulk of his time doing twice as much fundraising as Gray Davis ever did. It turns out he's not the antidote to Gray Davis; he's Gray Davis on steroids. Borrowing the play book from Bush, he has unabashedly broken his promise to be "the people's governor," and proven to be "the big industry donor's" governor."
