NWN has learned that the Phil Angelides for Governor campaign has sent a letter to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger demanding that he release all those audio tapes on the Governor’s Office computer system by October 4th. Or else, they will. You’ll recall the infamous backfiring tape flap earlier in the month. Using a cyber trick that Democratic spinners couldn’t explain for an agonizing period of time, Angelides opposition researchers surreptitiously came up with a tape of a private Schwarzenegger discussion with top staffers in which he mused about ethnology.

Yawn...
Dems are losing, again, the Governorship of a major blue state.

Is such a threat even legal?
This is old. Also, Mr. Schwarzenegger (spelling?) puts up with a lot of mocking of his accent. True, that is not the same as making generalizations about people which would be based on their genetics (Latinos and Africans are angry people), and accents, especially German ones, can be diminished, but the Congressman stated that it wasn't offensive. So that's that then.
Excuse me .. but why can't "private conversations" remain that way .. unless it's something harmful to America or to the state ..??
A "private" comment does not always reflect the total picture of an issue - and most of the time is taken out of context of the total conversation.
The dems are playing the "gotcha" game - and that's ALL THEY HAVE TO PLAY - because they have no issues to stand on.
