Several Blogs have picked up on Gray Davis's anti-immigrant attitude. "Puke Politics" coming to the fore? Whipped into an anti-Schwarzenegger frenzy at [a union] picnic, one crowd member screamed, "He's a foreigner!" as Davis criticized Schwarzenegger, who hopes to succeed him as governor in the Oct. 7 recall election. The man later approached Davis and apologized several times for making the remark. Davis told him not to worry, and added with a smile, "You shouldn't be governor unless you can pronounce the name of the state," in an apparent reference to Schwarzenegger's Austrian accent. The theme was picked up later in Alhambra at an Asian American rally against the recall. An appointee to the Workforce Investment Board, Sukhee Kang, suggested that Schwarzenegger's accent hindered his governing abilities. "He can't even speak English well. How can he govern the state of California?" said Kang, who emigrated from South Korea in 1977, as he warmed up the crowd before Davis arrived. [Emphasis added.] boomshock.blogspot.com
