Schwarzenegger, now lying in Memorial Oaks hospital with TWO broken legs, a broken arm to match is expected to make a full recovery assuming doctors can keep him off the slopes. "He said he would be back" one staff member at Silver Slopes Ski Lodge told reporters. And back the governator came in an apparent attempt to garner a slot on America's Most Idiotic Videos.Sir Issac Newton, the first human to discover the law of gravity explained the physics behind that elusive 3rd universal force called gravity, Newton explaining,"An apple on a tree will bonk you on the head if the stem of the apple breaks loose."Arnold Schwarzenegger, in a similar but more hilarious controlled scientific experiment crashed into a tree at 60 mph attempting to ski down a mountain on one leg in the middle of the night wearing a hospital robe under the influence of the world's most famous pain medication, Percodan (ask for it by name)."Idiot is the only logical word that comes to mind" members of Schwarzenegger mountain rescue team re-iterated one of them going on to remark, "He's the governor of WHAT state again you're joking right come on now stop it."Gravity.... | |

| | | Schwarzenegger criticizes planned wall along U.S.-Mexico border | | Posted Sunday, November 12, 2006 3:26:24 AM by Blog57 Team | | Visiting California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in Mexico City on Friday criticized Washington's planned wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. During Schwarzenegger's 50-minute meeting with Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon, the governor said the U.S. federal government was "crazy" to boost border security by constructing the border wall, without simultaneously creating a law to allow more foreign workers into the U.S. territory. Calderon said he was optimistic that Washington would push through a comprehensive immigration overhaul. Schwarzenegger was reelected on Tuesday as the governor of California, a state which relies heavily on Mexican agricultural laborers. U.S. President George W. Bush last month signed a law, authorizing the construction of a 1,125-km fence along the U.S.-Mexico border after he failed to persuade the Republican-dominated Congress to pass a law, which would allow more temporary work permits for foreigners.... | |

| | | Dan Walters: Greenhouse gas bill helps Schwarzenegger to triangulate voters | | Posted Wednesday, September 27, 2006 3:12:29 PM by Blog57 Team | | Even by Arnold Schwarzenegger's standards for highly orchestrated public appearances, today's ceremonies for signing California's landmark anti-global warming legislation will be elaborate and carefully choreographed for maximum media exposure. The governor's production designers chose Treasure Island, in the middle of San Francisco Bay, for one bill-signing ceremony in the morning, and Pepperdine University, overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Malibu, for another in the afternoon, thereby providing scenic marine backdrops for television news crews in the state's two largest media markets. On Tuesday, in an obvious effort to make it a multiday media story, Schwarzenegger signed three lesser global warming bills, declaring, "The science is clear. The global warming debate is over.... | |

| | | Arnold Schwarzenegger grope libel reaches settlement | | Posted Thursday, August 31, 2006 1:03:38 PM by Blog57 Team | | Washington, Aug 27: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has settled a libel lawsuit with a British TV host, who claimed she was groped by the Hollywood actor in December 2000 interview, and later defamed by his assistants during his 2003 campaign for governor. Anna Richardson filed suit in a British court in May 2004, and claimed the Terminator star fondled her breast during a press conference in London's Dorchester Hotel. She also accused his spokesman Sean Walsh and publicist Sheryl Main of harming her reputation by saying she encouraged it. However according to Contactmusic, both Richardson and Schwarzenegger and his aides have settled the suit to their satisfaction, without revealing further information. "Yes, it is true that it has been settled. I don't have any comment but it's settled and I think we're all very happy to put that behind us," said Main.... | |

No details were released. The statement said Richardson and the three people she sued the governor and two top aides, Sean Walsh and publicist Sheryl Main reached a settlement "to all parties' satisfaction." The settlement was confirmed by Walsh in a telephone interview.... | |

| | | Bill to curb greenhouse gases poses dilemma for Schwarzenegger | | Posted Thursday, August 10, 2006 5:02:09 AM by Blog57 Team | | SACRAMENTO - Over the past year, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has sought to position himself as a leader on climate change issues. He outlined a broad program to reduce air pollution during a speech at a United Nations summit a year ago and last week reached a publicity-generating agreement with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The Republican governor now faces a dilemma that threatens to undermine his environmental credentials at the same time he is trying appeal to moderate voters as he seeks re-election. This month, the Democrats who hold a majority in California's Legislature plan to send Schwarzenegger a bill that would create the country's first law capping greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sources. Schwarzenegger is eager to sign a global warming bill before he faces the state's Democratic-leaning electorate in November.... | |

| | | Schwarzenegger asks feds for money to help heat-damaged farms | | Posted Saturday, August 05, 2006 3:04:18 AM by Blog57 Team | | FRESNO - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told farmers Wednesday that he's asked the federal government for loans for farmers who suffered more than $1 billion in losses during California's triple-digit heat wave. "We're going to do everything we can to get you up to speed as soon as we can," he said during a visit to Fresno, the state's top agriculture county. Farmers throughout the state suffered sunburned crops, fruits that cooked in the fields and hundreds of thousands of dead livestock. Milk production was cut by as much as 20 percent when overheated dairy cows stopped producing. Schwarzenegger sent letters to President Bush, Congress and the U.S. Department of Agriculture asking for disaster loans similar to those given to Gulf Coast farmers in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.... | |

| | | GOP senator's career damaged after gaffe about Schwarzenegger | | Posted Wednesday, July 19, 2006 9:03:35 AM by Blog57 Team | | SACRAMENTO - A disagreement with local bureaucrats in the 1990s prompted Abel Maldonado to run for political office and later become the highest-ranking elected Mexican-American Republican in California and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's ambassador to Latino voters. But a shocking gaffe he committed last week -- publicly suggesting Schwarzenegger didn't care about Latinos -- is threatening the once-bright political future of the moderate state senator, whose district runs from Saratoga to Santa Maria. He later apologized, though the damage may be irreversible, political observers say. ``I get mad at the governor every now and then, just like I get mad at my kids,'' said Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia of El Centro, the only other Latino Republican in the Legislature.... | |

| | | Schwarzenegger signs bill, group quickly files suit | | Posted Friday, July 14, 2006 11:11:39 PM by Blog57 Team | | Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday signed a bill that supporters say will improve California's treatment-not-jail law for drug users, but which foes say guts the law's original intent. The Drug Policy Alliance and the California Society of Addiction Medicine later Wednesday sued in Alameda County Superior Court to overturn the new law, claiming it is unconstitutional to significantly amend Proposition 36 ? approved by 61 percent of voters in November 2000 ? without another popular vote. Such a vote, presumably preceded by a costly and nasty campaign, could be inevitable: The new law specifies that if a court strikes down any part of it, the new law automatically will be put on the ballot in its entirety. At issue is the new law's introduction of "flash incarceration" ? letting judges impose up to five days of jail time to punish drug-use relapses during treatment.... | |
