Arnold Schwarzenegger to sue big oil companies for “first-degree murder.”

From the “you can’t make this stuff up” department, comes this pronouncement from the guy who popularized the gas-guzzling CO2 belching Hummer military vehicle for his own LA commutes. His self-awareness must be zero.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Sunday he is going to sue big oil companies for “first-degree murder.”

During a live recording of a Politico podcast, Schwarzenegger said he was talking to several private law firms about taking on oil companies in court.

The Hollywood actor compared oil to the tobacco industry, and said both are “knowingly killing people all over the world.” Schwarzenegger said the tobacco industry had to pay millions of dollars in court for hiding the fact that tobacco had adverse side effects, and said he hopes oil companies will have to do the same.

“The oil companies knew from 1959 on, they did their own study that there would be global warming happening because of fossil fuels, and on top of it that it would be risky for people’s lives, that it would kill,” Schwarzenegger said Sunday.

Schwarzenegger suggested oil companies have warning labels on its products that are “killing people,” just like tobacco products.

“I don’t think there’s any difference: If you walk into a room and you know you’re going to kill someone, it’s first-degree murder; I think it’s the same thing with the oil companies,” Schwarzenegger said.

You can always tell when a Hollywooder’s career is about to go up in flames.

Another one who could have done Cali a lot of good, but...

Back when Drudge had his weekly radio show, he spent the entire 4 hours trashing Schwarzenegger. Maybe it was two, and he merely re-ran those two hours.

Being on the other side of the country, I thought Drudge was going a bit overboard.

AS's reign as the governator proved me wrong and Drudge right.

Drudge is apparently still right.

“Was it the years of steroid use that turned Arrrrnold into a liberal nutcase?”

Between the roids, the LA/Hollywood insanity and being married to a Kennedy the poor guy doesn’t have two functioning brain cells in his entire noggin.
This is what desperately seeking relevancy looks like.
Sad.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat...

Arnold with his private jet travel and Humvee lifestyle consumed ten times the oil as the average citizen. Perhaps he should go sue himself.

LOL! For sure a eco-wackO-doodle. I guess his excuse will be “I don’t drive any more.” Yeah, cause you got peeps who drive you around. But, it’s logical for them.
