I never really waste much time worrying about the divisiveness of American politics. Supposedly the people are too polarized, neighbors don’t see eye to eye, cats can’t get along with dogs, nerds and jocks fight constantly. A couple of quotes today in reference to yesterday’s election caught my eye, however. Here’s Governer Schwarzenegger on the apparently failed Proposition 73:
I wouldn’t want to have someone take my daughter to a hospital for an abortion or something and not tell me. I would kill him if they do that.
He talk funny. Well, Arnold could perhaps be forgiven for taking such a tone; he’s a parent, he’s talking about serious issues. But then there’s Democratic political consultant Garry South, who is confused by right-leaning reforms because, in his words, the state “just got raped by corporations in the energy crisis.” Whoa there, egghead. Save the men’s room talk for the men’s room. Grody!
