I’m paraphrasing, albeit only slightly. Not that he has many fans left among grassroots conservatives, but in case there are still one or two, this ought to finish them off:
The California governor has become an environmental standard bearer for the Republican party, which is split on the merits of curbing emissions. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 presidential election, has attacked cap and trade and questioned any link between man-made emissions and global warming.
“You have to ask: what was she trying to accomplish?” said Mr Schwarzenegger. “Is she really interested in this subject or is she interested in her career and in winning the [Republican] nomination [for president]? You have to take all these things with a grain of salt.”
Actually, Palin-hater Eugene Robinson filled the better part of a column today with evidence of her interest in the subject as governor. If she’s all about pandering to tea-partiers, conceivably she could have declared that she’s “seen the light” and retracted all of her prior statements about the reality of climate change and the possibility that man is contributing to it. Instead, she’s apt to end up as something of a centrist on this issue in the GOP primaries, where Huck, Mitt, T-Paw or someone else will likely declare that the whole subject’s a fraud.
She came up in his interview with Stephanopoulos this morning too, mere hours before he told Copenhagen that he has his fingers crossed for “planetary transformation.” Click the image and skip ahead to -2:14. He seems to suggest that she’s an out-and-out climate-change denier, but it’s hard to tell since he doesn’t refer specifically to her in that part. It’s worth watching anyway, though, if only for the claim that environmentalism and economic growth can co-exist based on the happy economic example of, um, California. Exit question: This guy’s going to end up as The One’s climate-change czar as soon as he’s out of office, isn’t he?

As Gov. Palin tries to save us from girly-man douche bags like Mr. Schriver.
hey steroid boy... you’ve had your chance to make a contribution and blew it STFU and go off with your wife the skeleton woman and suck up to the Kennedys. They’ll like your liberal views.
Arnold is an idiot.
Goodbye Arnie. We hardly knew ye.
Arnold is proof that if you sleep with liberals, your gonna get fleas
Some people knew him, like cowgirl here, but I didn’t listen. Oy.
Psssst....Arnold!....she’s trying to expose the TRUTH !
something you’re trying to HIDE!

Hey Ahnald! The Republican party may be split on this global warming /crap & Trade, Hope/Change thing but conservatives are NOT. We know it's a scam backed up with false science and designed to transfer wealth to the UN and the turd world stinkholes that infest it. Sarah Palin has called it right and unlike her former running mate is not afraid to say so.
ALL these RINOS should be given their walking papers, IMMEDIATELY and for ALL TIME. especially as regards Sarah, as it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that they see her unstoppable popularity as the ONE INSURMOUNTABLE THING which could conceivably crimp their own power, and HEGEMONY as RINOS.
What they can’t quite process yet, is that, even though they can’t possibly avoid recognition of her popularity, there’s nothing they can do to arrest it, or keep it from developing over the next year or two, WHICH IT WILL.
WHICH IT WILL EVEN FASTER , the more they try to marginalize her.
A free and prosporous America which you certainly are not, Arnold.
The left/RINOfaction crave power to subjugate America.
It is the only way that they can maintain thier siphon hoses on wealth, through government statism, not free society where we all have a more or less level economic playiing field. The statists can't compete economically with a free America and a free capitalist economy.
Therefore they want to control the economy into oblivion.
Palin will turn it absolutely around, and clean up the patronage and devolution of personal freedom we are now experiencing.
That shivers "ARE NOLT" and all the quitessential statists in the Obama Junta.
I love it when they whine. They know what's coming, like demons about to undergo a successful exorcism.
Such spittle, foaming at the mouth, and bombastic false predictions of everybody's oblivion except their own.
GO SARAH!
Bump that!
No prob for the ‘cuda. She was swayed by the emails.
Hey Arnold, STFU! The problem is rino’s like you and that mcLame dude the next state over. While I’m at it, hey mcLame STFU also!
Arnold is a midget steroid freakshow RINO who I cannot stand.
He lied to get into office, has done nothing about the budget, unions or illegals and panders to the Green Lie crowd.
He did stand up against gay marriage, but it was political, not his personal conviction. IMHO.
Can we officially kick the Girlynator out of the GOP yet?
Arnold is like 5’4 isnt he?
It’s official....compared to Sarah, ARNOLD IS A GIRLIE-MAN!
ARNOLT has miscalculated. Tony Blair is smarter,running for cover. ARNOLT and GORE are blineded by the billion they think their families can make in such programs as Cap and Fraud.
I have tried to cut Arnold some slack given he is surrounded by moonbats, however, anyone that truly believes cow farts are going to cause San Francisco to flood has truly gone into batchit crazy territory.
Allahpundit is tripping if he thinks Sarah is going to play centrists to the RINO's climate denials. Those three clowns will be tripping over themselves to get amnesty from Algore when they see how she is attacked.
Oh good grief! What the hell were you trying to accomplish Arnold - WHILE YOU WERE BANKRUPTING THE STATE OF CA.
My mom is turning over in her grave.
I saw him in person once, years ago. Yes, he is much shorter than you’d expect, but I couldn’t put an exact measure on him.
5’11 is what I hear.
Not a giant in height.
Heck I am 6’2”.
Ping to #30.
Heck I’ll even find a source...
While Arnold Schwarzenegger’s height was always believed to be 6 feet, 2 inches (1.88 m), a July 2002 article in US Weekly magazine speculated that Schwarzenegger was actually closer to 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m). During his campaign for governorship it was noted that Schwarzenegger was considerably shorter than many expected, with others putting his height at around 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), exactly as reported in US Weekly. His spokespeople now give his height as 6 ft even (1.83 m). Assuming his height was ever closer to 6’2”, it is possible he may have shrunk slightly with age, although four inches seems too much to lose by the mid-fifties.

This particular area is a mine-field, politically. Palin is smart not allowing them to define her, despite attempts to paint her as from the “stone age”, a “flip-flopper”.
She is doing well - with all the reactions (that just simply propogate her opinions, and elevate them), but still difficult to attack.
I would no more have a climate czar than a "keeping cereal crunchy in milk" czar. The only purpose of such a position is to suppress freedom.
5’4” is borderline jockey to me, I’m 6’5”.
The Left can't say she didn't do nothing about GW because SHE DID - even though it's the equivalent of kicking the can down the road, which was the perfect thing to do - and she didn't jerk her knee and embraced global warming hoax like Huck, Mitt, and T-Paw did.
That's why Allah wrote that, in frustration. Sarah has taken away an issue that would have been used to attack her and which reasonates with both conservatives and the independents/undecideds she'll need in order to win.
This man is possibly the only politician that is actually dumber than biden.

He doing much worse than Gray Davis. Do Californians owe Gray Davis an apology for the Recall?
Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment? Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation’s only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change. While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can’t primarily blame man’s activities for those changes. And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn’t do was hamstring Alaska’s job creators with burdensome regulations so that I could act “greener than thou” when talking to reporters.
- Sarah Palin
OUCH!
That’s just about a picture perfect smackdown.
The FReepers who continue to portray Palin as a lightweight, etc., need to keep following her progress.
If she keeps giving answers like that in a debate with Obama we could be looking at a Reagan like landslide.
As I said, I saw Arnold. He was maybe 25 feet away from me. If he’s 6 ft tall, my unit is 12 inches long.
Schwarzenegger should slapped senseless for even going to Copenhagen. How did he pay for his trip? By California taxpayers living in a state billions of dollars in debt.
STFU you pathetic loser, Schwarzenegger
George points to Palin's comment saying Obama should not go to Copenhagen and references an USA Today?Gallup poll that has 7 out of 8 Americans saying we should focus on fixing jobs and not global warming.
Arnold responds saying we can do both and proudly talks about green jobs in CA including an algae fuel farm! Then he says it is "nonsense talk" to just focus on the economy. You can do both, have a delegation over there on environment and and focus on issues at home. "No excuse at all to boycott" the conference. There are people that don't believe in "fixing the environment" and "don't believe there is such a thing as global warming; those people are living in the stone age..."
No wonder Sarah unloaded on him!
