I don’t know about the internet; I myself saw this on Headlines News, which had the aforementioned president on as a guest for a few minutes. This marvelous site was mentioned due to the California recall glossary, if I recall correctly.
Jeez. Sounds like anyone who blinked missed it. Anyone have a "sound byte" or, better still, a Quicktime movie?

What glossary is this? Are we inventing a new vernacular for the peculiar CA situation? Are political candidates (finally) being asked to define their terms?
[quote author=Sitran link=board=news;num=1065664153;start=0#6 date=10/09/03 at 21:12:39]I would like to congratulate the Governor-elect of Cailfornia, and I hope this is a great shock and horror to all liberal leftists everywhere.
Neither shock nor horror. I wouldn’t have expected anything else from LaLaLand. We will later have Election 2: the revenge of the voting machines.
Uncronopio, a slightly leftist and quite libertarian according to the political compass.

Ah yes, the political compass.
I remember the analysis page of that - allow me to list for you all of the people listed who exemplify varying degrees of Left/Authoritarian:
Saddam Hussein
Robert Mugabe
Yasser Arafat
Jacques Chirac
Pope John Paul II
Now, no matter how much I disagree with Chirac and the Pope on this and that so and so issue, I still find it hard to believe someone could deposit the Pope and Saddam in the same category.
I find that quite amusing. I think the graph is an interesting approach, I mean, at least there are two dimensions to the representation, but does it seem to capture the differences completely? Could there be a sort of 3-D chart that might pick up more differences?
Great post! We’ll have to see how Gov. Arnold does! I think that Californians are just sick and tired of career politicians, and all the rhetoric, perhaps hoping that Arnold can cut through the slime and get down to business.
the news media have failed in their self proclaimed holy "calling" to be the watchdog of government
Agreed, Viejo. As soon as someone claims to be ‘unbiased’, I’m deeply suspicious. The media treatment of the whole California circus was little short of embarrasing.
If I lived in California, I’d have voted for Arnold. If I had been undecided a week before, the last-minute smear campaign would’ve certainly swung me over. McClintock is too old-school conservative for my tastebuds. Gray Davis showed exactly what he was made of. Nothing, with the instincts of a junk-yard mutt and the disingenuous smile of a reluctant used-car salesman. A tax is the best form of defense. Away with him.
So I wish Arnold all the best in what looks to be an impossible job.
In the 1960s he served 2 terms in the Georgia State Senate
Carter served as governor of the state of Georgia from 1971 to 1975.
He was the first candidate from the Deep South to be elected president since the American Civil War.
After working tirelessly on this issue an agreement for the release of the hostages was signed on January 19, 1981. However, in what many observers have seen as a slight against Carter, the Iranians waited to release the captives until minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn-in as president the next day. The hostages were held captive for 444 days.
A spokesman for Coemgenus (currently still in intensive care following the infliction of multiple slashings by Hanlon’s Razor) [police enquiries suggest] told our reporter:
"My employer questions the wisdom of including ‘Real’ News comments in the Agora. Why, only yesterday he told me ‘If my views about Ober-Gropen-Führer Schwarzenegger ever became public knowledge I would become the kicking-boy, the scapegoat, the bouc émissaire of yourDictionary [trademark, all rights reserved]’. ‘Oh, stop showing off you can speak French,’ I interpolated at this point, to which my employer responded: ‘Do you want to go on getting the Statutory Minimum Wage, or don’t you?’"
Mr Coemgenus has expressed the wish to have Rachmaninov played at his funeral.
