Arnold to California: Chill, I've Gotta Movie to Do

Arnold SchwarzeneggerHe's got the California state legislature on lockdown until they can pass a budget, the state is embarrassingly broke, Californians are losing jobs and homes by the thousands -- and the Governator is off doing a movie!?!

WTF?!

Arnold Schwarzenegger will take time off to shoot a scene for Sylvester Stallone's upcoming action flick, "The Expendables."

Shooting is expected to begin next month. No word on whether Arnie plans to donate his paycheck to the deficit.

31. Seriously what can Arnold do in his office other than twiddle his thumbs until a budget is passed? Nothing. I guess he could put in some time in the basement working on the next upgrade to SKYNET, but like I said, he gets annoyed when anyone asks him what he does down in the basement.

32. Arnold is at least working for FREE - gets no pay check. What is he going to do while he waits for the budget to be passed? Work on upgrading SKYNET? Or tweaking the T-X prototype by giving it bigger boobs?

33. For those of us in California who sought to prevent Schwarzenegger from becoming our governor, we knew we were fighting a losing battle against the voting peasantry who were so enthralled by having the Terminator for governor that there was no way they were going to be stopped. They were so star struck and swoony that I think they really believed "Ah-Nult" would come racing into town with a fleet of Hummers and an army of storm troopers, swoop down and save the state. It is very frustrating for those who knew what the consequences would be of having an unqualified, never mind bad, actor, take over our state. And baby will ya look at us now! Arnold Schwartzenegger is no more qualified to be governor of California than Geroge W. Bush was to be president of the United States. And of course the right wing Republican nut jobs wanted to change the constitution so "Ah-Nult" could become president! I hope that people will wake up and smell the coffee....and try to use their heads and show some semblance of intelligence when putting ego driven and opportunistic people in charge of our lives. Hopefully we'll have another chance, some time in the not to distant future, to stop this insanity once and for all.

35. Kalifornia is such a mess it doesnt matter who the governor is. The sooner the big quake hits the better off the rest of America will be as it slides into the ocean.

36. CA is broke, because they are a bunch of communists, who think everyone should get a handout!!!! Not to mention any time Arnold wanted to cut something, the liberal communists complained and wouldnt vote for it! The type of handouts they give in CA and all lefty states including this pc of garbage CT, ARE NOT SUSTAINABLE!!! this is supposed to be a democracy, not communism! Arnold shouldtake time off and never come back because these people will never learn!!!

37. From a CALIFORNIA VOTER: ARNOLD WARNED US IF VOTERS DIDNT PASS HIS RESTRUCTURE PACKAGE WHEN HE CALLED FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION 2 YEARS AGO THAT IF IT DID NOT PASS THE STATE WOULD FACE A SERIOUS BUDGET CRISIS. THE VOTERS SHOT IT DOWN & NOW WE PAY. IT'S NOT ON HIM, LOOK AT YOUR LOCAL REPS/LEGISLATORS NOT WORKING TOGETHER TO TRY TO FIX WHAT HE WARNED OF. MAKE A MOVIE ARNOLD & HAVE FUN DOING IT , YOU'VE EARNED A WELL DESERVED BREAK FROM SAC....PLEASE FIX THE DMV.

38. Why should Arnold donate his paycheck to the state? Are all the members of the California legislature working for free? Are you even familiar with the crimes that Blago is accused of? Why would you even compare the two?

42. It is time for all you to get the hell out of California. All the free handouts and entitlements from overpopulation helped bankrupt your state besides the bogus mortgage loans.

43. What are you guys complaining for? You guys knew he was an actor when you voted him in!
WE here in Illinois found out after the fact that our Gov BLAGO was an actor and one that really sucks to top it off.
Arnie has been cool since forever, Blago and now Ronny are a bunch of dingbats.
Enjoy!

44. How does the state of California expect to stay afloat when there are plenty of people who cannot even pay their taxes? Raise the taxes means to move out fast.

45. I can't believe how totally stupid some people are. First off, he is shooting ONE scene for the movie, he is not "off doing a movie."

Secondly, he does NOT take a salary as governor. How many other governors can say the same thing?

Take a chill pill some of you. The ones complaining probably don't even have the first clue about what the governor's job entails in the first place.

When you complain about something so benign and such a non-story, you only demonstrate just how truly ignorant you are.
