Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

NationalReview.gif Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has landed himself on yet another national magazine cover.

Except this one isn't so flattering: "Girly-Man Ruins State," is how the National Review headlines the piece.

The full story is not available online, but Chris Reed, editorial writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune, excerpts parts of the piece.

Key line: "Conservatives were cheap dates and missed the subtle signals that Arnold lacked the fierce spirit of liberty that characterized (President Ronald) Reagan's approach to governance."

Meanwhile, the GOP governor is still getting praised by some in the national media. The New York Times held up the governor in a Sunday editorial as someone who "acted in the best interest of his state when he announced that he would accept the same federal stimulus aid for the unemployed that some of his fellow Republicans have threatened to reject."
