It's almost hard to satire something so bizzar. How could you top the chaos that is California. I guess that it's true, the country is tilted and the loose ends have rolled to California.

The sixth largest economy in the world is being run like a banana republic... or Florida.

I mean, come on. Minnesota was ahead of us in the embarassing nutcase celebrity governor race. MINNESOTA, for crying out loud! I mean, sure, we elected Ronald Reagan governor, but that was almost 40 years ago. And sending Sonny Bono to Congress wasn't too bad, but it was only one congressional district out of more than fifty. Our governors have been a long succession of bland, waspy no-names. Our reputation was at stake--we needed to take drastic actions. And now... NOW we're looking at a serious race between Gary Coleman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arianna Huffington and Larry Flynt. YEAH, baby! THIS is what California politics is supposed to BE like! Speaking as a proud Californian, this recall election is the greatest thing that’s happened in state politics in years.

Are you implying that we aren't the voice of the nation, the state you all look up to? Arrrggh,<a href="http://www.multied.com/elections/1984state.html"> I'm having '84 flashbacks.</a> Yes, Evan; MINNESOTA.

You make it seem like Minnesota is a responsible state, politically. We need to get our jollies out somewhere, you know?

(While standing on a unicycle at a UAW rally) "Yesa! Pleasa! Roberto for Governor oh-a-three-a! All-a the Hollywood girlza! So beautiful!"

Say someone votes for Arnold but they meant Arnold Drummond, not Arnold Whatshisnameger. I think the latter Arnold should have (not Drummond)next to his name on the ballot or else it's going to be Florida 2000 all over again. I think the ballot might be a bit confusing for some folks.

It actually happening ? I suspect even Adam has down played how outrageous it would be. (Does "Afghan tribal counsel" ring a bell?)

This is what Democracy is all about, people - giving every man and woman the chance to seek the confidence of their peers, and be chosen from a diverse and representative group of oddballs and/or washout celebrities to rule like a tyranical dictator.
