LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger distanced himself from President George W. Bush on national television on Wednesday, saying he was as far from his fellow Republican as he was from winning an Academy Award during his film career.

"To link me to George Bush is like linking me to an Oscar," the former bodybuilder and Hollywood action star joked during an appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." "That's ridiculous."

It was Schwarzenegger's fifth guest spot on the late-night comedy show since he used a 2003 appearance on the program to announce his first campaign for public office in 2003.

2. Aww, they're holding hands.

Isn't that sweet? Especially the way Arnold ran for Governor so the Republicans could pick up an undeserved governorship of a major electoral state on his star power?

6. He wishes there was no link to Bush.

Angelides is spending lots of money running ads that show otherwise, though. Unfortunately, those ads are about the only halfway memorable thing Angelides has done.

election day.

No Leno just sucks. Kimmel is great. And Arnold? He should make T4, YES I want a T4.

9. Arn's trip to LA was paid for by taxpayers, an official visit.

10. Arnold

As much as it disturbs me, I think only a miracle will have him in the defeated column. The only hope is that his wife will have some influence on him.

11. How could Angelides have screwed this up?

Ahnuld is among the most unpopular governors in the country and he'll very likely win. How?!

12. Angelides is a boring beaurocrat type.

Californians will forgive just about anything but boring.
