Last night on his program, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's Olbermann featured extended excerpts from Monday's speech by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on the anniversary of the passage of AB32, the state's climate change law.
Speaking at The Commonwealth Club's Climate One program in Silicon Valley, Schwarzenegger took off his (rhetorical) gloves and sharply criticized the forces that have pushed a repeal or freeze of AB32. Watch the video yourself from MSNBC.

Go, Governator!
I love that he did this. I also love that he mentions how oil, auto and tire industries killed off public transportation in most big cities. They got together and convinced municipalities in the first half of this century that light rail, rail and subways should be privatized to save money. They took over the rail and then shut them all down. Only New York, San Francisco and Chicago didn't sell out. This is amazing of him to do and actually quite proves he is a moderate, sane, and the Republican party needs more of him.
A bit of honesty and truth in American politics...he'll have to go!
