Needless glamour
The Times has just told us that the governor and his wife are bringing glamour to politics (“Governed by High Fashion,” by Booth Moore, Dec. 2). Sacramento, however, does not require glamour because no amount of it will help solve the state’s fiscal crisis.
Telling us about it is meaningless. All we need to know about Schwarzenegger is whether and how he will balance the budget. Everything else is irrelevant.
Poor Marie Antoinette had a great deal of glamour too and it didn’t do France or her the least bit of good.
