Yeah, I Think They're "Hot" Too

In case you've been on a weeklong drinking binge (also known as vacation in Provincetown), the news of late in California has been Governor Schwarzenegger's remark during a discussion about a Latina legislator being "very hot" -- and, of course, the follow-up apology.

Of course, the entertaining twist has been Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides's trumpeting of this as some sort of comment on Ahnuld's ethics -- then having to admit that it was his own staff's . apparent unauthorized access of the governor's system that produced the story in the first place.

I say we focus on the more important thing: namely, that the governor, who is known for having excellent taste in women (after all, he married the only Kennedy who looks good in a dress AND is female), was discussing the attractiveness of Latina women with his lesbian chief of staff.

Equality, we have arrived.
