The Gubernator
Ahnold’s great. After I missed Giuliani’s speech I wasn’t going to miss Ahnold’s. Here’s the transcript. For commentary, Lileks’s Medicine Square Godden:
A good Arnold speech is not full of subtle rhetoric, cozening shifts in vocal tone, facial nuance. It’s like watching a strong man chop an oak tree: the last blow will be just like the first. (Except that after the last one, something falls on someone’s head.)
Loved it.
