“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Not another actor for Governor

What's one thing I can think of that would be worse than Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California? How about Mel Gibson? Republicans in California are a little upset with Arnold right now and his selection of a Democratic chief of staff, so they've looked for another popular right leaning actor that may give them another for years of control in California.

And what do they tout as Gibson's qualification. He directed that movie a few years ago that conservative Christians loved.

Over at the site of Gibson for Governor, there is a lengthy history of his acting career, and an effort to get you to buy some of his movies, which makes me wonder if this is a real campaign, or a new marketing ploy by Mel himself to drum up more cash.

Either way, I hope this thing fizzles out as quickly as it began.
