I've always wondered about that expression. In reality you catch more flies with shite than either honey or vinegar.

And who in their right mind really wants to attract flies in the first place.

The difference being, his is clearly humorous.

There are lots of ******* lefties as well. Seems to be a common theme of people who (regardless of where they are on the political spectrum) combine the attributes of tent revival preachers with those of used car salesmen...

Seems to me the person who cums clean (pun intended) should be held in higher regard than the low life who attempts to cover up the facts. In any event it was funny as a self deprecating jab at himself and his adversaries.

Let me see if I have this right.

Arnie is trying to get a budget passed. To do that he needs the support of Democratic state politicians. So to get their support, he attacks them with wild accusations. Yeah, brilliant move. That'll get their support.

And then he tries to insult them by using a phrase that pokes fun at low-brain, muscle-bound freaks. So he ends up looking like an idiot.

Arnie obviously doesn't get the concept.

But on the positive side, Arnie is proof once again that American politician are great for laughs.

Note that I said he "tried" to insult them.

You're young so you probably haven't seen the SNL routine, but it was laughing at the Arnie-types. The fact that Arnie used it in his speech shows that he is so thick that he doesn't get it.

Maybe he knows that his budget won't get passed and is setting it up to campaign against the legislators.

DanS: The state has a difficult time passing a budget each year because of the requirement that 2/3 instead of 50% plus 1 are required to pass the budget. They was supposed to reduce partisanship but it has meant that a minority can stall the budget.

It was changed in the late 1970's to slow down the rate of tax increases and to force the politicians to work together. All it has really done is give the special interests veto power if they can buy off enough politicians.

we have a super majority in my state.

but because the left claimed the schools would close if they didn't pass a budjet, our supreme court ruled that law can be bypassed.

Apparantly the people aren't allowed to decide how their goverment operates. And now the goverment can do whatever it wants no matter if the people like it or not.
