[Bon mots]

Way to go Arnie!

Tell 'em.

[joesnuffy]

Good start Arnie

Now renounce your 'dual' citizenship and be a REAL American

and all the rest of our dual citizen leaders should follow

Lieberman included...

imo

[John Jorsett]

Wow. I wonder if he spit on the ring before putting it in the envelope?

[KellyAdmirer]

Sending back the ring too, now that is the mark of genius.

[reagan_fanatic]

Ouch. Arnie just left a good-sized footprint on someone's backside. Good for him.

[Prost1]

I can see the closing line now...

"Tschuess, Schatzi!"

[Lloyd227]

"It is already in the mail"

Awesome!! You go GOV!!

[pogo101]

It was pretty good, but if memory serves, he didn't bust out the "girly man" talk for many months. (I may be wrong.) In any event, I felt he was too accommodating at first, instead of using his mandate. The voters largely forgot their anger once the recession swelled the tax coffers, and they started to "buy into" the $100M + union lies about the reform measures. gah.

He said he wanted the lettering removed by year's end

Nice touch. IOW, do it NOW

[The Great RJ]

I suppose it could be renamed for Tookie.

They don't seem to understand that Arnold is the one 'doing', not the city.

The article of this thread said he sent his letter today. Apparently the city already decided last week. The following is was posted here at FR last Thursday:

Stadium Renamed after Tookie's Execution

The Arnold Schwarzenegger Football Stadium in Austria's second-largest city Graz is to be renamed as a sign of displeasure with the city's most famous son,. A majority of members on Graz City Council voted to rename the stadium after the Austrian-born governor of California approved the execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams, according to newspaper Kleine Zeitung.

Now renounce your 'dual' citizenship...

Amen!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Good job Governor!!! VERY good job!

[Petronski]

Just damn!

[Petronski]

Ping.

[hoosierham]

No man can serve two masters.

[ridesthemiles]

Way to go, Arnie!!!

This certainly removes their ability to keep trying to besmirch him. He has completely turned the tide against them.

[b9]

Ditto.

[Serb5150]

Yeah!!

[Malesherbes]

Good move. Graz can return to its previous obscurity.
