> A tale of two Lexis-captured CNN appearances by Arianna Huffington,
> discussing Proposition 187. First up, Nov. 3, 1994, just days before
> her then-husband was defeated by Dianne Feinstein for a U.S. Senate
> seat from California:
>
> "One-eighty-seven is strictly about the anger and the frustration of
> taxpayers, who work extremely hard, often having two jobs in one
> family, to take care of their families, to take care of their
> children. And then, their hard-earned money is being used to pay for
> taxpayer services for illegal immigrants. This is at the heart of
> 187. And if you try to portray it in any other way, you're missing
> the point."
>
> Now Aug. 12, 2003, just weeks before she will run for California
governor.
>
> "HUFFINGTON: Well, because Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Bush
> Republican. He is going to back the Bush economic policies all the
> way. He is for the tax cuts. He has Pete Wilson, for heaven's sake,
> chairing his campaign committee.
>
> "I mean, how insensitive can you be? The man who introduced
> Proposition 187 about illegal immigration into California and the man
> who is despised by Latinos, the very people Schwarzenegger needs. So
> there is some kind of disconnect between the moderate image and the
> reality. Incidentally, Schwarzenegger himself was in favor of 187.
>
> "PAUL BEGALA: But now did you support Proposition 187? Because I know
> that your husband did when he was in the Congress. He was running for
> the Senate.
>
> "HUFFINGTON: Yes, my ex-husband did. I voted against it."

So, Reason magazine portrays her description of how others feel as indicative of her own opinion and then fails to conjure an inconsistency. What utter Clowns.
