Joe Mathews’ editorial about how Michael Bloomberg is Teddy Roosevelt and Arnold Schwarzenegger is Hiram Johnson would be a lot more interesting if Roosevelt and Johnson had actually won the 1912 election. They didn’t. Woodrow Wilson won. And before long we were being led by a virulent racist imbued with ideological grandeur, and we found ourselves involved in the most pointless and bloody war in the history of mankind. And, no that war did not make the world safe for democracy. Quite the opposite, as France and England would discover not long thereafter.
And while mentioned in Mathews piece, Arnold is ineligible to be president or vice-president of the United States of America. So what is the point of this fantasy?
