Best line on election after-shock come from Tim Goodman, the TV critic of the San Francisco Chronicle:
This can-you-believe-it-happened moment coalesced with Jay Leno, host of “The Tonight Show” — where Schwarzenegger announced he was running — introducing the governor-elect for his acceptance speech in a move that was simultaneously ludicrous and embarrassing, a shill-fest that gave the rest of the country and political reporters in Sacramento a taste of life ahead.
All I can say is, Ugh.
I hope for California’s sake that Governor Schwarzenegger does a good job. But I fear the growing pains as he adjusts to the realities of politics are going to be ugly.
Oh, and Orrin Hatch has introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution’s ban on non-American-born presidents by allowing people who have been U.S. citizens for at least 20 years to be elected to the White House.
Joy.
