Just went over to see whether CNN was ejaculating all over the Preznit or not (they are not, as there are other big stories going on). Turns out they ran
an article about how the Austrians are laughing at Ahnold for his reinvention of Austrian history. To wit:
Recalling that the Soviets once occupied part of Austria in the aftermath of World War II, Schwarzenegger told the convention on Tuesday: "I saw tanks in the streets. I saw communism with my own eyes."
No way, historians say, challenging Schwarzenegger's knowledge of postwar history -- if not his enduring popularity among Austrians who admire him for rising from a penniless immigrant to the highest official in America's most populous state.
"It's a fact -- as a child he could not have seen a Soviet tank in Styria," the southeastern province where Schwarzenegger was born and raised, historian Stefan Karner told the Vienna newspaper Kurier.
What are we to think? Here's a man who became a Republican BECAUSE of Nixon, not in spite of him, and just like Tricky Dick he just makes shit up all the time. Ahnold is also dangerous because he has the Reaganesque ability to turn everything into Norman Rockwell. You'd think that with the threat of terra, people would realize that we don't really have time to be so sentimental in our politics anymore.
Random thought: Uh oh, Ken Khachigian claimed that some Democrats have been trying to "destroy Bush as a human being --- destroy his presidency." This could only mean one thing: the Republicans are engaging in a campaign to destroy John Kerry. You see, the Republican agenda is easy to figure out --- you simply look at their accusations to see what they themselves are up to.
