Guerilla Newsbrief #8
Faced with an $8 billion budget shortfall, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to rally his state's congressional delegation Thursday to stand together to "get everything possible" for the state.
"We are not asking the White House, and we are telling the Terminators that run the government that saying ‘I’ll be back’ with federal funds is not enough," Schwarzenegger said. "This is real life, affecting real Kaleeforneeans"
Schwarzenegger said his administration is grappling with problems "that were created in Kaleefornea by Kaleeforneeans." But he said that a company called Recall was brainwashing all the senators to do Cohaegen’s work for him on Mars. In response, his wife Mrs. Shriver took Gov. Schwarzenegger out of the sun as he was showing signs of overheating
Before regaining his sentences, he rambled on about Hauser and Quaid, but later claimed that it was a joke he learned in Austria to scare off all the “Girly-Men” who admired his muscles to much. He said Kaleefornea spends $1 billion to hold undocumented immigrants caught in the state because "the federal government refuses to shoot the wetbacks on sight when they cross the border."
The actor-turned-governor came to power in the 2003 recall vote that ousted former Gov. Gray Davis, whose administration was crippled by severe budget shortfalls and a lack of showing power in the box office during summer months. During the recall campaign, Schwarzenegger vowed to never release a sequel to “Jingle All the Way Home”
A Republican, he campaigned for President Bush in Ohio in the late days of the 2004 election. But he said Thursday he is not seeking to cash in on any favors, he’s waiting on the impending amendment to open the presidency to naturalized citizens to cash his chips in.
"Bush seems to know his way around the oval office, but he has the wrong idea about how to conduct a good War. Sons of the Fatherland know best," Schwarzenegger said.
Besides, he said, "What I don't want to see is Predator being played out in Iraq with all the good guys being killed. I want Commando with me kicking infidel ass."
California leaders have long complained that Schwarzenegger uses far too many sound bites from former movies to pitch his plans. State Democrats estimate that Schwarzenegger’s last original thought was snuffed out during his last bout of steroid rage during the early 80s.
California's House delegation holds major leadership posts on both sides of the aisle; the chairmen of the Circle Jerker, Bushwhacker, Meat Beater and Chicken Choker committees hail from the Golden State.
Members of the 53-member House delegation said the meetings were bipartisan and productive. They even had ice cream.
"We knew going into this meeting that we were not going to walk away with a check from the federal government," said Rep. Z L, a leading Democrat in the state's House delegation. But she said the bipartisan meetings resulted in "a half-decent hand job."
Schwarzenegger planned to meet as well with the state's two senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, both Democrats, since Maria Shriver was simply not enough to satisfy the “Pumpinator.”
But while Democrats have offered their help, some lawmakers in Sacramento have warned the governor and his GOP allies in Washington that the trip will be considered a failure unless they return with new latex gloves and K-Y for everyone.
The governor wants political lines, for both state legislative and congressional districts, to be drawn by members of the 5th grade class at a local Sacramento magnet school, rather than by the legislature. Lawmakers from both parties have scratched their collective heads about this act of brilliance, likening it to Schwarzenegger’s deft choice to star in Kindergarten Cop.
Pelosi said she has no concerns about Schwarzenegger's redistricting plan, but questions why it needs to be addressed before the next census, which would normally precede redistricting.
"It sounds like Texas-style to me, but perhaps that's not his motivation," she said. “Maybe, it’s just flat out stupidity, but that really doesn’t distinguish it from Texas-style.”
