Arnold should sit down, and shut up

Joe Conason asks the pertinent question:

Weren't the Republicans just telling us the other day that celebrities should keep their mouths shut about politics? Didn't they blast the Dixie Chicks, Janeane Garofalo, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon and every other artist who spoke out about the war in Iraq? Wasn't the argument that fame doesn't confer experience, wisdom or competence?

But this is why I love California. Can you think of a better place than California, where Gary Coleman, Larry Flynt and Arnold are running for election? This is great! I really want to see a debate. And if they were smart, it would be on pay-per-view, and they all could make millions.
