In an interview published Sunday with the German mag Der Spiegel, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he didn't miss going to the GOP national convention because it lacked "bipartisanship."

He compared the "hard core" who run the national party to California's GOP leaders: "I have almost no contact with them – none. Because they're just so out there."

That should help round up those GOP votes for his budget proposal …

[NormsRevenge]

It’s mutual, I am sure, aRnie.

[Maceman]

Schwarzenegger has no regrets about missing convention

And neither does anyone else.

[Red_Devil 232]

Because he would have been Booooed?

[hsalaw]

Oh, Arnold, you’re such an idiot. What about Joe Lieberman? What about McCain himself? He’s hardly hard-core.

[bicyclerepair]

He won’t be bohck.

[Tex Pete]

“I have almost no contact with them – none. Because they’re just so out there.”

Right. Some of them are actually (GASP!) conservatives.

Besides, Schwarzenegger is voting for Obama with his wife.

[bmwcyle]

I don’t miss his movies.

[murrie]

good riddance. What a disappointment. Gees

[ilgipper]

Why would bipartisanship appear at a party convention? Where was there bipartisanship at the Dem convention? Biden? Clintons? Carter? All leftists.

[109ACS]

hasta la vista

[rom]

Getting ready to sign a recall petition right about now.

Lacked Bipartisanship? What more could they have done up there besides saying that McCain was going to join the Democrat party? Did Arnie miss the part with Joe Lieberman, and McCain congratulating Obama?

Maybe tough-as-nails Gov. Palin reminds Arnie of the times Maria has brow beaten him. While he’s all bluster and talk, she’s the real deal.

He compared the “hard core” who run the national party to California’s GOP leaders: “I have almost no contact with them – none. Because they’re just so out there.”

- He will be hard to root for should the recall succeed. in fact part of me hopes it does. He’s a moron.

[Unam Sanctam]

McCain is Mr. Bipartisanship, for better or worse. Stick a sock in it, Arnold.

[torchthemummy]

Schwarzenegger has no regrets about missing convention

Right back at ya, Arnie.

[OKIEDOC]

El Senor RHINO Terminator is using his inherited bully training on how to win friends and influence enemies.

Arnold has been and is a piss poor excuse for a governator.

We got suckered with his Hollywood acting and are now as Republicans experiencing the results.

God save Kalifornia because the Democrats and Arnold won't.

[Liberty Valance]

A lack of bi-partisanship? He told the American press he didn’t go because he needed to stay in California to work on the budget. Which is it Arnold? What girlyman he’s turned out to be in a few short years of politics.

[TexasCajun]

Just another example of a liberal democrat changing parties and spouting a few conservative values to get elected.

[popdonnelly]

“he didn’t miss going to the GOP national convention because it lacked “bipartisanship.”

He expects a party political convention to be “bipartisan”? He sounds more like a Democrat every day.

[brushcop]

I think you’re right, our woman, Sarah Palin, shames him, shames all RINOs. They feel inadequate and well they should. She’s reenergized me (and shamed me too!) into getting back to what’s important, to STAND UP (again) for those beliefs instead of acquiescing to these hollow people. Thank you Sarah!!

[Pinkbell]

Don’t worry, Arnie, we didn’t miss you either. Oh, Arnie, quit kidding yourself with that R next to your name. You are D in all but name.

[Obadiah]

Nothing like going out of your way to stick a finger in our eye, Arnie. Good luck with your next election.

[johnnycap]

I say recall the S.O.B. and put a Republican in office instead. Oh and Arnold, here’s a newsflash: This time you won’t be back!!

[WackySam]

Just another example of a liberal democrat changing parties and spouting a few conservative values to get elected.

Hmm, who else does that remind me of?

[A_Niceguy_in_CA]

I voted for Tom McClintock.

[EagleUSA]

The liberals grow the state debt, while Taxifornia backslides into history as the once-great-state. And to fix that, the socialists want to increase Taxifornia’s already obscene taxation levels.....ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY because the idiot voters just keep putting these liberal maggots back into office.....fools.

[dr_who]

He’s turned into a girly man.

[glorgau]

Was he even invited?

[Norman Bates]

John McCain and Joe Lieberman. Doesn’t get more partisan than that, Arnold.

[pallis]

We all get what we deserve. Good thing we don’t have Arnold.

[dragonblustar]

[saluki_in_ohio]

They really need to put a fence around California, especially on the Oregon border.....

[Bobkk47]

Married to a Kennedy!

[Nachum]

Hey Arnold,

Why don't you just switch parties and be done with it. Then it will leave the gates wide open for Tom McClintock.

That's it Arnold, the Republicans are just too "out there". Time for you to come out of the closet. Tell everyone you are a DemocRAT.

[NormsRevenge]

Was he even invited?

—

He was originally on the speakers list so I would say, Yes.

It’s a combo of budget delay and McCain not needing another star there (besides Sarah and FRed) to take away from his golden moment on the stage. Post-partisan was the theme too, bummer. ;-)

[calcowgirl]

The whole interview is “amusing,” at best.

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,576835,00.html

SPIEGEL: Could you imagine becoming a cabinet member in a McCain or in an Obama administration?

Schwarzenegger: Yes I could imagine that, but the only thing I cannot imagine is leaving Sacramento and leaving it to someone who would replace me. I have a plan of what I want to accomplish by the time I’m finished and that to me is more important — fulfilling that dream and that promise — than taking on any position in Washington.

[DoughtyOne]

Arnold is such a pathetic failure he should just step down.

[Carley]

Fred Thompson substituted for Aaahhnnooollll.........

Thompson was awesome and the CA gov was not missed.

He knows it too and that is why he’s being so cranky.

[macamadamia]

Maybe Arnold’s getting squirmy because Palin’s toughness is real, whereas Arnold is a fake to the core. Fake tough guy. Fake conservative. Fake Republican. He’s just another Kennedy with man-titties.

[informavoracious]

Arnold should change his name to “Schwarzenegge.” He does not deserve to have an “R” at the end of it.

[river rat]

Arnold has finally been exposed as a genuine Leftist a$$hole...
That nasty Kennedy “pillow talk” did him in.....

[SierraWasp]

Well, I certainly have no regrets!!! His phony speech in the '04 CONvention certainly didn't deserve any kind of repeat!!!

Pssssssssssssssssss on this pathetic impersonation of a Republican Governor!!!
Compare this worthless celebretard with the Republican Governor of Alaska!!!

[tubebender]

AArnie...sour grapes make sour whine. Sorry you got passed over for a woman who has bigger balls then you could ever dream of having...

[NeoCaveman]

Sorry you got passed over for a woman who has bigger balls then you could ever dream of having...

The steroids shrunk his balls, then Maria removed them.

[dennisw]

Steroids ate away at his brain. What an ego.....And to no good purpose

[SierraWasp]

"Sorry you got passed over for a woman who has bigger balls then you could ever dream of having... "

Oh MAN!!! I almost missed this classic comment by you!!! You are the CHAMPION!!!

That comment was HALL OF FAME stuff in my book!!!

[calcowgirl]

LOL! Good one!

I think Arnold is very jealous of Palin being described as “the most popular governor,” and “successful” (budget surplus!) to boot!

His comments in the interview are kind of telling—about how many people were watching her speech. With Arnold, it’s all about the show.

What a girlyman!

[SierraWasp]

"What a girlyman!"

He's nothin but a lameast lounge lizard celebutard!!!
