HardBlogger<\/a> has yet to mention the “incident<\/a>” that occurred during last night<\/a>‘s taping of HardBall<\/a> when a direct action activist charged the outdoor stage shouting “Remember Abu Ghraib” and was quickly tackled by security before reaching it.<\/p>\n

Considering what he said it doesn’t make much sense to characterise it as an attack on Matthews personally but more likely his position on the stage. His mike was the closest?<\/p>\n

Media Matters<\/a> notices that the RNC is getting more coverage than the DNC. Corp Watch <\/a> reports on how much money is being spent producing it which at ($160m) is nearly double the amount spent by the Democrats ($95m).<\/p>\n

Arnold said<\/a> that if you believe the United States is the best hope for democracy in the world that means you’re a Republican. Obviously he’s never read The Politics of War<\/i><\/a> or anything else<\/a> by Walter Karp<\/a>. He’s certainly in the running for a convention oscar, though. <\/p>\n

After reading this update<\/a> from Juan Cole (on Iran\/Contra II<\/a>) I wonder if Arnold would also say that supporting treason so long as it advances the Republican party’s control of gov’t means you’re a Republican. Nixon was<\/i> the “breath of fresh air” that blew him into the party. <\/p>\n

Schwarzenegger, who married into one of the most powerfull political families in the country if not the world, proclaimed it isn’t who you know that makes you successfull in America. It can certainly come in handy when you’re seeking a pardon<\/a>!<\/p>\n
