Ready For His Close-up

Can I just say that watching Arnold Schwarzenneger on crutches being sworn in to the sound of (badly played) trumpets in a huge auditorium is one of the weirdest damned things I’ve ever seen? (Jesus — after he took the oath a choir started singing “Hallelujah!” like the angels are celebrating or something.)

It’s still disconcerting to me to see this bizarre looking and sounding fellow as a serious leader. I want to giggle everytime I see him. But there he is.

That “American-born president” provision in the constitution may be an anachronism, but the country should be very glad of it. At least we Californians won’t be able to foist this Republican on the rest of the America. Hallelujah, indeed.
