Snark snark

Looks like the bad old New York Times has returned. Boggle a while at this utterly contemptuous opening to a "news piece":

Appealing to Californians' feelings of a loss of control and joblessness, Arnold Schwarzenegger declared war today on Gov. Gray Davis and business as usual in Sacramento. Promising deliverance without sacrifice and a balanced budget without tax increases, Mr. Schwarzenegger made it clear that he considered the recall race in its final days to have boiled down to two choices: himself and Mr. Davis.

Embarking on a salt-of-the-earth and baby-hugging tour across California today, the Republican action-movie hero depicted the election as a referendum on Mr. Davis's tenure, and painted a bleak picture of the state's financial condition, with businesses and residents pouring out to seek better lives in the Nevada desert.

You know, they didn't describe Clinton campaign stops as bottom-fondling.
