NO. This does not get to happen. You know why this doesn't get to happen? Because then Demolition Man will be prophetic. Do you want Demolition Man to be prophetic?! I didn't think so.
That's pretty much my take on it. I don't have a problem with the amendment in theory, and while I wouldn't want to spread The Governator to the rest of the country the way we did Reagan...
... well, frankly I don't oppose him as much as I already do Bush, so why not? :-p
hell, he's actually a good republican. At least he believes in small government, he's pro-choice and he's for stem cell. Sure, he's still a republican, but he's a lot less scary then Bush or Ashcroft.
1) I don't even want to be reminded of Demolition Man because, first off? Fast food is shitty from the get go, don't make it the shittiest shit that ever shat some shit while sitting.
2) Let me in on you a secret - California voted in Schwarzenegger because of the essential Shiny Red Button. You know. The one that says "don't push"? Well, Arnold was this big, huge, shiny red button and on election day, we Californians (actually, they Californians - I wasn't registered at the time) did not resist the temptation to push the shiny red button. And it's provided some funny moments - I haven't heard one person say "Governor Schwarzenegger" with a straight face - I have to refer to him as "Our Governor", like, "Lucy, you have some 'splainin' to do...". We have color pictures of him in our driving manuals at the DMV (because he who drives a Hummer should be the guy telling me how to drive).
Stallone: "Hold it! The Schwarzenegger Library?" Bullock: "Yes, the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library. Wasn't he an actor?" Stallone: "Stop! He was President?" Bullock: "Yes. Even though he was not born in this country, his popularity at the time caused the 61st Amendment…"
He's promised not to make movies while in office as governor. If he keeps that promise (and now that he's a politician, that's a pretty iffy if), then at least some good will come of it.
-- I have, in fact, perused some newsreels in the Schwartzenegger Library. -- Hold it. The Schwartzenegger Library? -- Yes. The Schwartzenegger Presidential Library. Wasn't he an actor when you... -- But how? He was President? -- Yes! Even though he wasn't born in this country, his popularity at the time caused the 61st Amendment which states... -- I don' wanna know. President.
Question #34: A car smaller then yours pulls out in front of you suddenly in a four lane highway and slows down. What do you do?
1) Pass him on the shoulder. 2) Pass him on the other side. 3) Slow down yourself. 4) Crush him like the puny-girly-man he is. 5) Call in the state police and have the driver beaten until he swallows at least five of his own teeth. 6) Activate your Hummer's rocket-launchers. 7) Cry.
...sorry. I guess that could be a bit less clear than I thought it was, because I figured everyone would know what Bill I meant by the mention of Amendment 22, which in no way impacts Bill Maher. I meant Bill Clinton.
to everyone's (including mine) surprise, i enjoyed "d.m." ... denis leary and lots of pop cultural in jokes ... to think that a guy that would never ever get elected president in his own country might well become yours ... where is my hover car?
