If he skipped his own father's funeral for a bodybuilding event, do you really think he attended the funeral of an Austrian president no one ever heard of out of some sense of 'duty' to America or Bush?

Who is this really, Michael Moore? Arnold and his father were never close.

What's next, will Arnold be working with Unocal in building the pipeline across Afghanistan? Did Arnold visit Texas while W was Gov? etc. etc.

Sure. He and the President are friends and political allies. The President asked him to attend the funeral as his representative. No politician would say no to that.
