Just for a chuckle, this was posted on the El Toro Chronicles board:

As much of a joke as Ozzy would be, you can't deny he's just about perfect to be the one to demonstrate just how dumb the whole recall effort has been. How about this news flash:

"Thanks to ultra right wing republicans, who failed to elect their backward thinking candidate Bill Simon in the last general election, California, on the backs of a sour grapes oriented recall effort led by these same ultra right wing republicans, have inadvertently caused the election of Ozzy Osbourne to governor."

When asked for comment, the leaders of the recall effort would only say, "republican gooooood, democrat baaaaad". They then, with tears in their eyes, all kissed a picture of Rush Limbaugh.

One member did acknowledge however that:

"We on the far right don't actually do any of our own thinking. We label things as either conservative or liberal and pass blind blanket judgements based only on those labels. It doesn't sound very intelligent, but it's a great time saver when you see everything as black and white and you KNOW that just because of the labels, that one side is 100% right and the other 100% wrong all of the time."

He also stated:

"Yes, it's very unfortunate the way it turned out; with Ozzy winning. We really didn't think this recall effort through. We were so distraught over Simon's loss in the general election that we had to do something, anything to change it. After all, what's the use of being a small ultra right wing group with control of the republican party in California, if you can't occassionally lead those blind sheep to slaughter. We've had to strike while the iron was hot because we know deep down that at some point the majority of republicans will actually wake up and realize how we've co-opted the repbulican party; then we'll be done."

He then tucked a signed copy of Ann Coulter's new book under his arm, straightened his "Hannity Does My Thinking For Me" button, started muttering "ditto, ditto, ditto" under his breath and walked off.
