Arnold Loses His Strudel
by Paul Jacob
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger no longer likes term limits. He explained why in an interview with the LA Times.
Says Arnold: “[O]riginally I felt very strongly that it was the greatest thing ever done. Because I despised the idea of guys being so locked in and safe in their positions, staying up in Sacramento and doing their deals and all this stuff.
“Now I’ve been there for four years and I say to myself, ’Oh my God, this is a disaster.’. . . It’s going to hurt the state, because we have to start all over again, getting acquainted with these new people coming in. . . . John Burton, whom I’d just gotten used to working with; he used to bring me delicious Austrian coffee and apfelstrudel. Now he’s gone.”
Gee, competitive elections are so inconvenient, aren’t they? With the people coming and going and all this stuff? Not to mention the strudel crisis.
U.S. Term Limits president Phil Blumel observed: “Yes, Arnold ’learned’ the lessons most politicians learn after a while in office: that government is the solution not the problem and that staying in office is better than leaving it.”
Blumel is right on. And I’m happy to report that California citizens ignored Arnold’s recent brainstorms and his endorsement of Prop 93, a devious term limits extension measure, defeated in February by Golden State voters. If the governor is still sad, well, maybe somebody can bring him some jelly doughnuts as a consolation prize.
