Sacramento -- He posed for nude photos. He skipped his father's funeral to attend a bodybuilding competition. He smoked pot. He killed nearly 300 people on film. Not to mention the alleged boorish behavior with women.

Who could be a better candidate for California governor?

Arnold is an ego feeding creep and pig.
He may be the one man who could be a worse
governor than Davis.

So if he did win he probably end up getting recalled.

Tabloid newspapers have begun digging into Schwarzenegger's past, a source close to the recall said, and they already have a trove of material from unauthorized biographies and Schwarzenegger's own outrageous statements in the past.

I love this. The SF Chronicle justifies several paragrahs about Arnold's youthful indiscretions by telling the reader that "the tabloids made me do it". They could have just written the one sentence above and left it at that.

It will be interesting to see the Davis mud slinging squad go into action against Arnold. They're holding back until or unless Arnold makes a commitment. If he does, the very next day, every major paper across the country will have a front page story including any and all possible slime they can dig up about Arnold.

He skipped his father's funeral to
attend a bodybuilding competition.

If he was running as a liberal Dim, this wouldn't have been mentioned.

Note the plug for Richard Riordan. They wouldn't mind it a bit if he took over.

Anything to back this up other than your opinion?

>He posed for nude photos.

So what? Are you whining judgmentally or making a plea for copies of them?

>He skipped his father's funeral to attend a bodybuilding competition.

Nice little urban legend. Leftists love the "Big Lie" because they can have the media allies to pull it off.

>He smoked pot.

Awww...what a shame. If that were a disqualifying distinction, we would never have suffered Clinton's two terms.

>Not to mention the alleged boorish behavior with women.

Nothing says "qualiy journalism" like hurling unsubstantiated allegations. Let's hear it for our vaunted, trustworthy leftist media!

For one thing he sponsored and promoted a referendum last Nov for a after school Kiddie Kare that will cost taxpayers up to 1.5 billion a year. Plus he hung many of his fiends out to day with his failed Planet Hollyweird...

If you have seen his movies then you have seen
a small taste of his massive ego.
And for him as Govenor he would follow the
same policies as Davis but would eliminate
Republican undermine Republican opposition
to them by being a Republican governor
pushing them.
He does not understand the people and has
bondless arrogance and therefore even things
Davis would back off on when it comes to
government expansion and a social liberal
agenda Arnold would go forward on blind
to the effects and the concerns of the public.

This isn't true, is it? I thought he just made that up for the documentary.

I hope it's not true. Even if you hate your dad you should go to his funeral unless he molested you or something.
