Governator Completes His Transformation Into Abject Political Whore
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has commuted the manslaughter sentence for Esteban Núñez – son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez – by more than half in connection with a 2008 slaying at San Diego State University.
Fabian Núñez is a horse trader. No issue is really dear except those that gain access to coveted voting blocks. There really are no principles except those you extol for the press when the moment is right. It is all about Núñez. So few were surprised when his son was part of a murder - the kid probably got little attention from dad and it wasn’t like there was much to want to be like.
Now Arnold’s megalomania is in full relief. The tough guy who was the outsider who would go to Sacramento to clean things up was as unprincipled as those he sought to “reform”. Because this was a “last day” action we can safely assume that some deal was struck a year ago or so where Arnold got something he wanted after Núñez made phone calls and now Núñez’ son will walk in half the time after getting a very kind plea deal in the first place.
I’d hate to be the family of that dead kid today.
