VOD: A Satirical (and Political) X-Mas Carol

In time for the holidays, progressive political action group Courage Campaign turns CA governor Arnold Schwarzenegger into a modern-day Scrooge.

As the Los Angeles Times explains:

As if Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't have enough problems with a teetering state budget that's underfunded by $42 billion, lawsuits from unions and apocalyptic predictions for the state's welfare, now he's got to worry about needles from a punchy Web cartoon called "A California Carol," which paints him as the Ebenezer Scrooge of the Golden State.

The cartoon, which features cameos from animated versions of former Gov. Ronald Reagan, first lady Maria Shriver and outgoing President George W. Bush, was produced by the Courage Campaign, a progressive organization that wants Schwarzenegger to take drastic action (i.e. raise taxes) to solve the budget impasse. [full story]
