State Attorney General Bill Lockyer on Saturday rebuffed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's demand that he force an end to San Francisco's same-sex marriages, calling the directive political rhetoric. "The governor can direct the Highway Patrol. He can direct the next 'Terminator 4' movie if he chooses. But he can't direct the attorney general in the way he's attempted to do," Lockyer said, adding that Schwarzenegger's written directive "was a statement designed for consumption at the Republican convention."

"I sort of resent it when Arnold plays Conan the Barbarian for the right wing and directs me to do something. He doesn't have the authority to do that," Lockyer said Saturday.

Lockyer did say he'll fulfill his duty as AG, but he's not gonna be harassed by someone who isn't technically his boss.

You'll be glad to know that the .ca.us Attorney General's comments about what Ahnuld is trying to do being against the State Constitution made it to mass-media news over here too. (OK, at least Channel 5, which is braincandy, but still)

I am sure Florida's gov. "jeb" bush would have tried to involve himself if he could if he were governor of california. He certainly got himself involved in some things governors don't normally involve themselves in like interfering in decisions in turning off life support, and some other matters, one of which had to do with the rape & pregnancy of a woman who was retarded. Just wait! One day Jeb will run for Prez! hee
