The Governator Gets It

California Governor 'Ahnold' Schwarzenegger apparently understands the message voters sent in yesterday's special election. Check out these lines from him in the Sacramento Bee (imagine his Austrian accent):
I think the message was clear from the people: Go all out and make those cuts and live within your means.
And then delivering believably the role "politician" he has learned to portray, the Governator added:
And you know something? I appreciate that. When you hear that from the people, then it gives us a chance to go and adjust and say, "OK, we went the wrong direction. Now let's go in the right direction. Let's go do what the people want."
Anyone wanna bet he and the legislative leaders will try to make "those cuts" as painful as possible, so the voters can be persuaded to let them raise taxes?
