Funny Article on Arnold (Entertainment, Politics)

The Terminator for governor — is it the dreaded ‘End of Days’? (MSNBC):
_________________
- “I’ll be back.”

People admire political tenacity. Don’t expect a whiney “You won’t have Arnold Schwarzenegger to kick around anymore” speech from him. He’ll be doing the kicking, thank you.

- “Hasta la vista, Baby.”

Displays Arnold’s outreach to California’s sizable Hispanic community. In a state as ethnically rich as California, it certainly helps to be bilingual. Arnold might even be regarded as trilingual, since some consider German to be a language. A governor needs to be able to relate to all peoples in a consistent manner. In the 500-plus on-screen deaths Arnold has doled out, he has slaughtered Colombians, Arabs, cops, rednecks, Russians, Vikings and sundry others with equal dispatch.

- “Consider this to be a divorce.” (Said to Sharon Stone as he gut-shoots her in “Total Recall”)

Demonstrates the candidate’s commitment to tort reform, promoting a speedy lawyer-free resolution of all disputes.

- “One day you will wake up and find your testicles floating in a glass of water next to your bed.” (From “Red Heat,” in case you were wondering.)

Shows an ability to “think outside the box,” and a skill at offering opponents clear alternatives to their proposals.
