Chronicle Frames Schwarzenegger Appointment in False LightRandy Shawbyline‚ Dec. 02‚ 2005The Governor's appointment of Democrat Susan Kennedy as his chief of staff has been trumpeted in the San Francisco Chronicle as a "potentially dramatic change" reflecting his "penchant for making out-of-the ordinary decisions." Really? Kennedy admits voting for all of the Governor's recent ballot initiatives, is strongly backed by former Republican Governor Pete Wilson, and Schwarzenegger stated at his press conference that Kennedy "was putting her Democratic philosophy aside to fulfill my vision." The willingness of a lesbian who had a commitment ceremony with her partner to "put her views aside" to boost an anti-gay marriage Governor is hardly something to cheer. |
