It's too much democracy

This is why Liberals have lost the ear and support of so many Americans:

QUESTIONS FOR MARIO CUOMO

Recall Ballad
NYT: As someone who served three terms as a governor, you must have some thoughts about what's happening in California.

MC: It's too much democracy. In San Francisco and in the rest of California, there has been an instinct for a long time to get as close to the plebiscite as you can get, as close to ''We'll decide it for ourselves.'' And I think Californians would tell you that every once in a while they've done something they're proud of this way, but more often than not they've discovered that they punished themselves by a rash judgment

There you have the Liberal coda in a nutshell. Liberals know best, voters cannot make sound judgements. Begs the question as to how voters elect said Liberals...being so inept and unwise... but then let's not split hairs. The Honourable Gentleman from New York has more wisdom to impart from his lofty moral pearch.

NYT: That you could recall an executive is an odd and maybe scary concept.

MC: Well, depending on how the executive feels about it when he's banished. The situation in California seems to be so bad that I'm not sure Gray Davis isn't secretly praying for banishment.

"The situation"? You mean the financial disaster created by a Dem legislature and Governor? Since when is a CEO or Executive being summarily fired by the board or shareholders an odd or a scary concept? The NYT recently had just such an event. Maybe the change in management hasn't filtered down to the Sunday Magazine staff yet.

NYT: Is the idea of governor as a serious job, one that requires a lot of experience, changing? We had Jesse Ventura in Minnesota, and now perhaps Arnold Schwarzenegger in California.

MC: Well, let's see. Minnesota, maybe, California, not so sure. California is an unusual and electric kind of state -- it's wonderful. All sorts of things happen there. But a little too dazzling for my taste -- when you threaten legislators with large weapons.

Excuse me Guv, but didn't a NYC Pol recently murder another with a large weapon? After a very clever pun dismissing Swarzenegger (not), Cuomo pontificates on the 2004 Presidental race. Read the full article if you have the stomach...I've reached my limit of condecending quasi-intellectual Liberal bullshit and media fawning for the moment. *spit* *spit*
