Arnold: "If I was to make another Terminator movie......"
Ha ha ha, Arnold! Now who's going to pay for this trainwreck of a special election, you?

====


"The buck stops with me," he told reporters Thursday during a Capitol news conference, referring to the clean sweep against his proposals in Tuesday's special election. "I take full responsibility for this election. I take full responsibility for its failure."

Asked if there was anything he would do differently, Schwarzenegger said, "If I was to make another Terminator movie, I would tell Terminator to travel back in time to tell Arnold not to have another special election."....

"I operate with a different mentality," Schwarzenegger said, saying he will seek to be more patient with legislators. "I think I recognize that now more so than I did before.

"The people said, 'Initiatives are fine, but you know, go and work it out with the legislators,'" he said. "It was the law of supply and demand: There was plenty of supply of initiatives, but not the demand."

1. Good
Then maybe you'd like to pay us back the 50 mil. Oh, and please don't make any more movies. I used to watch them occasionally but not anymore. I avoid them like the plague.

2. I suppose that means he'll be re-imbursing CA some $50M, then.
Since the buck stops with him, let it flow from him, too, to the state of California for the cost of this "vanity" election.

4. What happened to the recall petitions?
In keeping with titzengroper's "supply and demand" theme I can think of an initiantive that would have a lot of demand. And don't tell me "just vote him out in November" either. Can you imagine how he would look during the campaign responding to comments about how he would have been recalled except the election was too close? I think a fully filled out and accredited recall petition is a good tool to keep on habd.

5. Wait a minute, Arnie's spinning again.
"The people said, 'Initiatives are fine, but you know, go and work it out with the legislators,'" he said. "It was the law of supply and demand: There was plenty of supply of initiatives, but not the demand."

NO ARNIE!!!! The people said that they oppose your policies, simple!
