Mark Steyn: Attitude Dancing

Mark looks at the Arnold Schwarzenegger flap with his home town of Graz, Austria. It seems that Arnold, being sworn to uphold the laws of California (not to mention the will of the people that elected him,) felt he should allow Tookie Williams to face the legally sanctioned punishment he was sentenced to after his brutal murder of four Californians. The punishment was death.

The resultant bunching of panties was unbearable for the folks of Graz who attempted to punish Arnold for his barbarism. Arnold had other ideas.

Mark's analysis is spot on.
