Wanna be my Governor?

HRsage

You may have heard the crisis in CA has caused the state to revolt and we are going to be voting whether or not to recall our current governor Gray Davis aka "Gumby". So far amongst the group of almost 300 people in line going for the title to replace him are:

Arnold Schwartzenegger- Conan and the Terminator.
Gary Colemen- of Different Stokes fame
Larry Flynt- the publisher of hustler
Gallagher- the "comedian" (I use that term loosely) that smashes watermelons
An adult film star
A L.A billboard girl named Angeline

And the list keeps growing everyday. thankfully, Saturday is the cutoff date. The ballot is going to look like a reject lineup for Holloywood Squares. Call me crazy, but I think Arnold may actually have a chance- we'll see.

Anybody on the forum want to join our ballot? All it takes is $3500 and 65 signatures. Wish us luck. Don, are you going to be busy for the next couple of years??

And to think us NY'ers complain about Hillary. Guess it isn't so bad here afterall.

I don't know, Ray. I would take Angeline over Hillary any day. I betcha Bill would too.

On a less serious side - considering how depressing the news has been of late, I want thank you Californians for brightening my day.

Hasta la vista - Davis!

All you need is an athelete on the list maybe -Shaq
I would suggest Kobe - but he has a enough problems.

Actually, I voted for my Chihuahua as a write-in for governor in last year's general election. I was sure that "Annie" would better protect my interests, more than Davis would. Sure was right - look what has happened! Although "Annie" has since died, I have another Chihuhua , "Cookie" to write in this time. Well, the State has gone to the dogs anyways....

Just remember: The last name-actor who governed California eventually wound up as President.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-08-03 AT 11:54AM (CST)[/font][p]Anyone see Arnold on the Today show this a.m.? I was NOT impressed. Talked too fast, didn't shut up when Mat told him too and didn't answer the questions..Guess that's about as impressive as most politicians.

Sounds like perfectly qualified to be a politician.

Leslie

I saw him when he announced on the Tonight Show - wasn't impressed there either. Seemed too - practiced?

And remember, he can't be president. Wasn't born here.

Parabeagle

Very true, but Gary Coleman could end up President. I can see it now -- "What you talkin' 'bout, Saddam!"

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched! If you've seen Demolition Man, you'll remember talk of the "Schwarzenegger Presidential Library"........... x:D

Whatever

Does anyone remember the good ol' days when Pat Paulsen was running for president on the platform "It's time we had a real comedian in the white house"?

Parabeagle

And we got one. Chevy Chase - er - Gerald Ford. x:-)

Hey, we just endured 4 years under the "leadership" of Jesse-the-moron-Ventura, another action-flick-nonactor-wannabee, who became governor for all the wrong reasons and brought little but embarassment to our fair state. Arnold has an accent that many mock, but I'm pretty sure that he can at least speak in full sentences. All Jesse could say was "I ain't got time to bleed"!

AnneHa

Hey! We almost had Jerry Springer running for US Senator in Ohio. I believe one comedian said he was about to throw his chair into the ring. Thank God he decided against it.

Anne in Ohio

Parabeagle

He was mayor of Cincinnati, wasn't he?

AnneHa

Yes, he was mayor and while in office paid a prostitute for her services with a personal check! What a dunce!

Anne in Ohio

Parabeagle

Hmmm... always suspected he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box. At least if he'd used his credit card he could have filed for reimbursement on his expense report. x;-)

Whatever

Wow. After reading all the threads on this site, Hillary is starting to look good.

Woodrat54

How on earth can you say that Hillary is starting to look good? If she was looking good, would Bill have strayed to Monica as he did?

Zanne

Do you think Arnold has received the coaching from the Shriver-Kennedy Family?

Parabeagle

I don't think so, Zanne. He's not speaking with a Boston accent yet.

Whatever

Leslie

From what I've been hearing on talk radio, he needs the political acumen, because he's already quite knowledgable on the other thing the Kennedy's are famous for x:o.

ray a

What's that, Leslie?

Leslie

The pundits were saying that by throwing his hat in the ring, he opened himself up to answering questions regarding infidelities through the years. They acted like it was pretty general knowledge, and that "his past" could cause him some troubles.

Paul in Cannon Beach

Arnold has come out strong like CONAN THE BARBARIAN but pretty soon he will be THE RUNNING MAN when the Democratic dirt diggers turn up the RED HEAT on him with color photos of Arnold and the TWINS. Even an ERASER won't help keep the TRUE LIES from undermining Arnold's attempt at a TOTAL RECALL. Probably about the SIXTH DAY of his campaign, Arnold will be feeling like he got a RAW DEAL by announcing his candidacy. There was no way of predicting the COLLATERAL DAMAGE caused by Arnold's checkered past and ultimately, the TERMINATOR will be terminated.

Hasta la vista, baby!

Paul in Cannon Beach

Worked on that all day, didn't you, Paul? x:-)

Leslie

Paul I am so impressed - that was really good!
