Schwarzenegger to run for governor

[Longinius]

Quote[/b] ]Edit: Schwarzenegger can´t even talk properly. Neither in german nor in english. Oh and you might want to check his scholar education. He hasn´t much so that MUST make him a perfect candidate.

If he spoke perfect or even good english, he would lose his entire trademark. The cheesy german/austrian accent is part of what made him all his money. It is one of his defining charactaristics as an actor. So in my opinion it might just as well have been a smart move to stick with the accent.

As for education, he DID graduate from University of Wisconsin-Superior with a major in international marketing of fitness and business administration. Which means he is more educated than the average cat. And add to that the fact that he owns and runs several succesful businesses, you get a man who has the brains enough to get some place. That to me means he atleast stands a chance to be a good politician to.

Further more, he received an Honorary Doctorate from his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin Superior, in 1996 in recognition of his charitable works. Also not a bad thing for a politician. Also received an honorary doctorate from Chapman University in Orange, California.

Want quotes?

"In the beginning I was selfish. It was all about, 'How do I build Arnold? How can I win the most Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympic contests? How can I get into the movies and get into business?' I was thinking about myself...As I've grew up, got older, maybe wiser, I think your life is judged not by how much you have taken but by how much you give back."

I'd vote for a guy that reasons that way...

Ronald Reagan started as governor of California and he was an actor

LOL! Arnie's opposition includes Larry Flint and a silicone titted porn star who wants to tax breast implants and swap guns for x-rated movies

Listen to Arnies commentary on the conan movie. Its absolutely hilarious.
'Ha ha haa ... dis is where I punch de caaamel ha ha '
'This movie is great we should make anoder one'
(director) 'Umm.. we did make another one, don't you remember?'
'OH YEAH! ha ha ha!'

Quote[/b] ]Why would Arnie automatically be a bad politician?

Because he is stupid. Simple as that.
But then again you already have some great experiences with polititians who are not smarter than a leaf of bread ***

Whats a leaf of bread?

You know, when you take a loaf of bread and cut it with a knife, you get something like a leaf of bread. or as you say slice of bread.

I think Balshoiw referred to the German proverb "dumm wie ein Laib Brot" (dumb lika a loaf of bread), but accidentry made leaf out of loaf.

Yes, but a Republican governor in California would piss a lot of liberals off. One of the reasons I am alive.

lol. you mean a Republican who is shunned by GOP? it's amazingly hilarious to see how some GOP fringed for his 'lukewarm' political position suddenly become the darling of the party as soon as he gathers attention.

if he gets elected, it would show that current GOP is not in alignment with national politics.

We are talking about California here Ralph. That's probably as good as things get for the GOP there. I'd vote for him. Considering people like Diane Feinstein are revered in that state.

Great CNN calls him:

Schwarnezegger

What I want to know is what is Schwarne and what is a zegger in German.

[USSoldier11B]

At least they didn't call him Jagermeister

That means nothing.



But "Schwarzen-Egger"... could be originating from the profession of the family, like Smith (=blacksmith) or Carpenter:

Schwarzen...schwarz... means black
Egger...means the one who uses an Egge (=harrow)

"black" is possibly related to black soil...


But here's a paper (google's my friend) with a good analysis.
