It seems to me the only people for whom Schwarzenegger is a true voice is that group of people we call idiots. Schwarzenegger can legitimately be seen as the voice of a people who don't take their responsibilities as citizens or the fiscal plight of California seriously. A people who don't distinguish between real heroes and movie heroes. Who demand politics be entertaining before they are willing to participate. A pathetically infantile and ignorant people, wholly undeserving of the glorious political traditions and institutions they have inherited.

My favorite line from the article is this: "The last thing he needs is for the whole State to serve as enabler as he makes the creepy transition from egomania to megalomania."
