Nobody Does It Better
As members of Hugh Hewitt's Northern Alliance we apparently have once again been tasked with a homework assignment, this time by Brad Jones from the Infinite Monkeys (who by the way had an excellent on air chat with Tsar Hugh last night), to offer up comparisons between Arnold running for governor of California and our own (shudder) former governor Jesse Ventura. And while we certainly don't wish to serve up lame excuses for not completing our task (Mitch ate our homework, etc.) after reading Lileks excellent take on the matter this morning we have elected to yield our time to the honorable gentleman from South Minneapolis. There is little left to say. The only point that I might add is that, despite the accent, Arnold is much easier to understand than Jesse who managed to combine Minnesota speak (especially the long "ohs"), California surfer lingo, and a street hood attitude, all at a third grade vocabulary level.
Perhaps Mr. Hewitt can add a couple more of those classic folk bumps tonight to reward James.
UPDATE: I erroneously thought that the Commissioner himself had asked for input on the Ahnold/Jesse comparisons not realizing it was actually a request from one of his winged minions (Flying infinite monkeys? Now that's scary). A correction has been made.
By the way kudos to Hugh's producer Duane for playing Where Have All The Flowers Gone? as an intro to last Monday's segment with Lileks. Very apropos considering Lileks server was down at the time.
