Yesterday, Arnold was out in California touting his plans to fix the huge deficit and he mentioned various ideas. All fine and well - I'm sure he's just saying what he's told to say. But then, out of the blue, another pundit running for governor as an "independent," Arianna Huffington criticized the remarks made by Arnold saying that he should talk to his "fat-cat friends in Washington" about the problems in California. While I realize that the tax-cuts and various other governmental decisions in Washington D.C. have no doubt hurt the state of California, how can Arianna attack Arnold? Do you really think that Arnold can just go to Washington and tell the president what to do? Arnold has absolutely no say in Washington and since Arianna can't find anything wrong with his solutions, she's criticizing one of the causes of the problems in California (she doesn't mention Grey Davis' gross mismanagement of the state). I'm not quite sure where she's trying to go with this. She says she's independent, yet all she's done is criticize Arnold and the Republicans in Washington and she has an article on her site talking about how "Corporate Tax Cheats Wreak Havoc on the Neediest Among Us" - yet, when she filed the papers to run for governor, we found out she's only paid ~$800 over the past two years in income taxes as she's written off losses because of her own company (sounds awfully like a corporate tax cheat to me).
