Arnold Schwarzenegger finished his disastrous stint as Governator appropriately — with a final act of pandering to the Democrats who have been ruining California and whom he was elected to confront:

In his final night before leaving office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger commuted the prison sentence of the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez who had pleaded guilty to taking part in the slaying of a college student. …

“We are totally outraged,” said Fred Santos, the father of Luis Santos [the murder victim]. “For the governor to wait until the last day in hopes it would fly under the radar is an absolute injustice.”

Santos needs to understand that Fabian Nuñez isn’t just any California pol, but a special ally:

Fabian Nuñez, a Democrat, grew close to the governor while speaker. The two worked together to pass the state’s landmark global warming law, which was a signature achievement of Schwarzenegger’s time in office.

If Schwarzenegger, Nuñez, and the rest are ever held accountable for what they did to California’s economy in the name of the global warming hoax, pardons will definitely not be in order.
