Another day, another obnoxious remark from Arnold Schwarzenegger

At tribute for women, Schwarzenegger angers nurses
He quips protesters are 'special interests' -- 'I kick their butt'

Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer
Wednesday, December 8, 2004

Long Beach -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, speaking Tuesday to open an annual conference celebrating women's contributions to the state, dismissed California nurses who protested his health care policies as "special interests'' who are mad because "I kick their butt."


Will there ever be a straw to break the camel's back with this guy?

I was never a fan of this cigar-puffing egomaniac before he became governor, but I am really getting sick of his obnoxious mouth. One of those ladies ought to kick him in his steroid-shriveled 'nads.

1. I'm more and more revolted by him and his TANGERINE SKIN
every flaming day!
his contorted, plasticky face, his a-hole comments, his mush-mouthed fiendishness, his high chemical content!

2. For the record, this Californian did not vote for him.
Disgusting. Picking on nurses! The man has no shame! Shameless Rovian stooge!

4. I use to work in a hospital
6 to 1 patients to a nurse is fucking nuts. This guy is a asshole!

I do not blame the nurses for being disruptive. The more power to them.

5. Hey, Arnold? Those SNL Hans und Franz skits with the "girlie man" riff?
They were about making fun of you. Mocking you.

I know you think that you've turned this around to mock those who mocked you, but it never did work on me. I still think you're a no-class meathead who made crappy movies.

Kinda like that other really lousy Cali governor.

17. Me too. I used to have a Hans and Franz message on my phone.
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 08:45 PM by Ladyhawk
It went like this:

Me: Hello, I am Hans.
Roommate: And I am Franz.
Together: And we just want to answer (clap) the phone.
Me: Laura and Terry are not here right now.
Roommate: Yah, they are out pumping up with Hans and me.
Me: But if you leave your name, number and a message now, we'll play it back later and listen to it a week from Thursday.
Roommate: Yah, and if you're not a puny little girly man, maybe Laura and Terry will call you back.
Me: Then again, if you were a puny little girly man, you probably couldn't even lift the phone in the first place.
Roommate: Yah, and if you tried, you would break your puny little girly man toothpick arm.
Roommate: But enough talk. We're not here to talk.
Together: We're just here to answer (clap) the phone.

This was quite awhile ago. It was kind of long, so people got tired of listening to it. :D I thought it was funny. I'm surprised my parrot didn't pick it up.

P.S. I did NOT vote for the recall or the gropenator.

6. I know that "all"
Californians are not responsible for electing this jackass, but I must say, I lost respect for "Cauli-faunia" when he was elected.

7. I hope he gets something non-fatal, non-permanently-damaging...
...but that has to land him in a hospital. Appendicitis will do.

Then let the "special interests" have at him.

16. yip
Recall election designed so Davis couldn't win. Arnold didn't have the guts to run against him in the real election. Girlie man indeed.

21. I've never even been to CA
but I still find Ahnold's election very "UnCalifornian." The Rethugs gamed that recall from the start. And now we know enough to be suspicious of the "vote." Weren't a lot of BBV's used in the recall election?

23. Yes, mostly in the inland areas and mostly where Ahnold won
The strange thing is that a lot of third party candidates did very well in some areas where the DRE's are located. Some of these third party candidates did not even campaign in these areas. Yes, that was a horrible election. I also remember Mr. Bush Jr. congratulating Ahnold before the polls closed. It felt like the beginning of the end at that time. Just like Karl Rove would like you to feel.

9. As opposed to Arnold's special interests in the insurance and energy...
...industries?

A nurse isn't a special interest. They're just special. If only Arnold would so selflessly serve his fellow human beings.

10. You know what is sad...
..someday he'll need a nurse by his bedside ...probably when the brain lesions from all the steroids set in.

22. He motivates the stupido masses
by speaking action-hero lingo.

I's not Arnold we have to fight...it's stupidity. I can't believe so many people here are so fucking stupid.

24. Hey now
There is nothing wrong with cigar-puffing.

But, you are spot on about the rest of it.

:)
