A day after sharing a stage, Meg Whitman Wednesday night took a swipe at the man she wants to replace, faulting Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for signing superfluous bills that have boosted spending for bankrupt California.

“The legislature has become a bill factory. Last year, the governor signed into law nearly 700 bills … some of them were length of how long cow tails should be, regulating tattoo parlors, renaming highways for disgraced politicians,” the Whitman said during an appearance on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” “All those bills, guess what they come with? Spending.”

The Republican gubernatorial nominee appeared with Schwarzenegger and her Democratic opponent, Jerry Brown, on Tuesday at a women’s conference discussion. But Whitman, a former eBay chief executive, has distanced herself from the unpopular governor throughout the campaign, even more so since the Brown campaign last week launched the ad, “Echo,” portraying the two Republicans using the same talking points.

Both Whitman and Schwarzenegger want to create jobs, but she said she’d be more successful.

“Here’s the difference between me and Gov. Schwarzenegger. I’m a proven job creator, I have spent 30 years creating jobs, working in the private sector. I bring the real world, common sense experience to Sacramento,” Whitman said. “Gov. Schwarzenegger was an actor and an investor, but that is very different from than being an operating executive who is accountable for results every single day.”

3. Like it's been said before, this was a quest run out of boredom.

All of these laissez-failures have too much cash and too little to do with their lives once they're out of the limelight. They all have something else in common - an inherent notion as to how this country should be run and the need to force that vision on the American people, either through their policies as a CEO or buying their way into Governorship.

It's like the SarUH Palin fanatics; they're more in love with the idea of their beloved Mama Grizzly with the title of President than stopping and thinking of the actual all-encompassing responsibilities and role the President plays to a world stage.

Just seems to me that's what is wrong with uneducated fans of celebrity Repub politicians. Running a world stage means more than simply "firing everyone", "gettin' rid of waste, fraud 'n' abuse", "drill, baby, drill" or the old chestnut of "gettin' rid of BIG GUBMINT". Being a president isn't about enacting cornpone 5-second Faux factoids as policy; it's really NOT that goddamned simple. To "clean up Washington" means cleaning up it's corporate influence. When you're beholden to the corporate culture that got you there, are you really in a position to show them the door?

They don't care who's best for the job. All that matters is that they WIN, damn the cost.

As the country dives deeper into the depths of destruction.
Don't know where they are going, but as long as they are in charge, they do not care.
