Recently a "hit piece" of television "journalism" purported to expose the sins and personal lives of the Kennedy's.

The show was so controversial, it was produced by a right wing fanatic, that most mainstream cable shows would not touch it.

Rumors about the Kennedy's have gone on forever. The conservatives have loved to pound away at the alleged infidelities of the Kennedy's, especially President Kennedy.

Conservatives have harped on the need for "family values" in a holier than thou attempt to gain the high ground for elections.

Truth, of course, is not a value, because those who are being accused are all dead and cannot defend themselves.

Then there is Arnold. Gray Davis, was recalled as California's governor because of the "sin" of not balancing the budget and for the energy crisis of 2001. Both of these "crises" were not his fault, but the recall proceeded nonetheless.

In probably the worst case of political injustice and cynicism in the nation's history, Gray Davis was recalled successfully and Arnold was elected.

So, we got the man who promised to "blow up the boxes", to reform government, to add character to governing.

Meanwhile he was groping and screwing everything that walked. He impregnated one of his household staff, grabbed everything within reach, and even admitted to being in an orgy or two. He also admitted using steroids when he was winning bodybuilding contests.

And Gray Davis? Well, his biggest sin was than he was "bland". He was boring. He just was a governor.

If anyone believes Arnold's "story" that he had nothing to do with the recall, they also believe that Arnold is a moral man. He was in on the con; discrediting a sitting governor, to feed his endless ego.

Eight years later California is broke, its government is a mess. Arnold, true to form, played with the government, some would say fondled it, and ruined it.

And his reward? Well, he recently announced even more movies he will make, as the "governator".

And his conservative cronies, who engineered the whole thing? Why they are busy on hatchet jobs on dead liberal politicians whose indiscretions are at the very least fifty years old!

Character indeed!
