ARNOLD'S SQUEEZE NOW CHOKING FROGS?

PHOTO UPDATE! For a moment after seeing this photo we thought comedian Buddy Hackett had returned from the grave and donned a woman's wig and clothing, but thankfully, we were wrong. Remember a year-or-so ago when there were rumors about a California State Assemblywoman having slept with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger? Actually, the woman, Bonnie Garcia, a long-time Republican hack from Southern California's one-and-only remaining bastion of the Grand Old Party --- the Palm Springs area --- started the rumors herself by telling a group of 16- and 17-year old female high school students, in a 'home ec' classroom, with reporters in the room, that she "wouldn't throw him (the Governor) out of bed!" How Garcia ever let a conversation in any classroom get to that point is still beyond us; good thing, even though I am against term limits, Garcia gets "termed-out" this election. Garcia is obviously a decorous and proud Hispanic Republican woman only trying to help students in her district "to do better". This photo of Garcia appeared in the LA TIMES this past week. In it, Garcia appears startled by a frog (near her left hand) during the annual "Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" competition in Sacramento, CA, which was made famous in a book by Mark Twain. By the way, the frog is green; Garcia is the one in the pretty pink sweater from Target's "husky teen" section. Keep it up, Senora Bonnie! All that Pilates work appears to be paying off --- Maybe Governor Arnold will give you a second look this year.
