We, in Mississippi, now officially bestow the mantle of the most benighted

[harrison]

state in the Union to...California. Let's see, we have carried that appellation for many years. We have elected our share of buffoons and racists as Governor. But, Arnold? Son of an SS officer. Admirer of Hitler...Sexual predator...Holy smoke.

California has out Mississipped Mississippi.

1. It's the one good thing about the recall -- the next time someone

starts bashing the South at DU (or anywhere), all we have to say is "California elected Ah-nold."

Too bad the smart Californians have to pay for the mistakes of the dumb ones. Then again, it could be the voting machines. . .

3. beat me to it, Dem Bones...

but we are not gloating (only hoping that some will now become familiar with empathy)

2. Nahhhh

You still elect guys who are members of the CCC, and you still rank at the bottom of every conceivable objective test of prosperity. Please feel free to revel in your status as Satan's rectum.

4. Never thought I'd be happy to have Jeb as MY Governor

At least he's not a sexual predator and has half a brain (I think he got the brains that Dubya didn't get) AND we don't have to listen to the media talk about the idiot 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

I feel bad for Californians having to hear about that idiot for the next 4 years (or until he's recalled).
