LOS ANGELES (AP) - The mighty tycoon in "Citizen Kane" had a little wooden sled to remind him of his humble origins. Citizen Arnold Schwarzenegger has the old M47 tank from his early years in the Austrian military. That's just one example of the appetite for extremes that the new governor of California will bring to Sacramento, where he'll be sworn into office Monday. There, the tanned, Armani-clad action star will mingle and make policy with the rumpled suits of the state Legislature.

Well, that's not a prejudicial stereotype, is it? (sarcasm=off)

[Prime Choice]

Bully for him. He earned it, didn't he?

Or would the Liberal press like it better if he'd come into this country illegally and sucked money off the cash cow known as Liberal Social Programs for Illegal Aliens?

[ServesURight]

The AP is mad because Schwarzenegger isn't a chump like Gray-out.

[Falcon4.0]

Ahhh, the taste of sour grapes.

[Wolfie]

The difference is that the "rumpled suits of the State legislature" spend extravagantly using OTHER people's money. Arnold spends his own.

[Wheee The People]

Capitalism rocks!

God bless him .. he embodies the Great American Dream

This is a flaming character assassination foisted off as a "news" story from the AP wire.

No liberal bias in the media right? I notice no similar pieces on mega-millionaire democrats Rockefeller or Kennedy. Or for that matter the Empress Hillary or her stock fraud enriched winged monkey Terry McAwful of the DNC.

[gatorbait]

God, did this article not drip of both class and penis envy? The Left never seems to have a problem when one of theirs goes in extravigance,or make crazy demands .. Go Arnold, enjoy your M47..

[SevenDaysInMay]

"Citizen Kane" ends with a whispered "rose bud", the European slang for, well, er uh, Clinton's "around the world" fetish.

So what?

'Negger is rich, a self-made Kennedy.

[Leo Carpathian]

If he can get Kalifornians to be like him, more power to him. Maybe they can wake up to reality?

[July 4th]

Gotta love the Pinzgauer.

Arent' Cohibas Cuban? I thought we couldn't have Cuban cigars here. I had to sneak some in from Canada once.

He reportedly has five of the original designs and one new model Hummer H2.... Environmentalists criticized his use of the gas-guzzling vehicles during his campaign

Even O'Reilly jumped on this "gas-guzzling Hummer" bandwagon absent of facts. The original (Big) diesel Hummer gets around 24 mph. The new smaller Hummer2..gets 10 mpg.

Yeah sleaze ball Willie Brown managed to amass a fortune, while never working outside of government. He's no stranger to Armani suits, and Bruno Magli shoes. THAT was okay cause he lead a life " dedicated to public service".

The Cohiba which you buy at most smoke US shops 'legally' are Columbian. Try a Monte Cristo again Columbian. However, Cohibas and Cristos are made in Havana as well.

I'm not really impressed.

Celebrities are hounded every minute, and stalked by every psycho celebrity chasing nutball within range, people are constantly trying to sue them, take their photo, dig up dirt, peak through your windows, kidnap your relatives etc etc.

I feel sorry for these types. Their life isn't their own. They can't even go down and eat a meal at the local restaurant without getting mobbed , starred down, gawked at, and harassed.

Most "regular" people don't understand, that the rich and famous very seldom get to enjoy any of their toys. They are very seldom home to enjoy their fabulous homes, and they have to put up with constant bull sh*t....Many wind up sitting in the dark, doing drugs and drinking....

[halfdome]

Aahh, thanks. I don't smoke cigars myself, I just always heard that Cohibas were very good and that they were Cuban.
