Has Schwarzenegger Lost His Mind?

While Obama, Gates and Crowley prepare to knock back a brewsky and solve American race relations, Governor Schwarzenegger is out in Cali acting like a complete Republican, right-wing, lost-his-mind, somebody-slap-him-into-the-middle-of-next-week gangster.ย  I understand my home away from home state of California is under some mammoth budgetary pressure, but Schwarzeneggerโ€™s recent veto and budget cuts look…

Thoughts?
