Bush Says He Is Ready to Work With Arnold

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON -- President Bush says he is ready to work with Arnold Schwarzenegger if Californians elect him as their next governor, but he stopped short Tuesday of the praise he had previously offered the actor-turned-candidate.

In August, Bush declared that "I think he'd be a good governor." On Tuesday, as Californians went to the polls, the president sidestepped questions about whether he still maintained that view following disclosures that Schwarzenegger groped more than a dozen women.

"I feel like the California people are going to make a wise decision, that they are now in charge of the process," Bush said.

The president said he hadn't "been paying that close attention to it, because I got a job to do here in Washington."

But Bush's comments also suggested he had taken a keen interest in the race. More than 2 million people had voted by absentee ballot, a result Bush called "a pretty active turnout." Schwarzenegger, Bush said, has "waged a spirited campaign. He's captured a lot of people's imagination."

[JaneQPublic]

5. Of course, Arnold will have to be the brains of the team

Because Chimpy IS as dumb as he looks.

[Sequoia]

6. He's always had an interest

Stay out of our state yellow cake boy.

[benfranklin1776]

7. That right there is reason enough to vote No on the recall

and get as many people as possible to the polls to do likewise. First order of business would be blessing Enron's escape from overcharging the people of California (http://www.commondreams.org/views03/1004-05.htm) followed by offshore drilling on the coasts.

[JackDragna]

8. Wow. What a great meeting of the minds that will be.

"Uh, yeah, so Arnold, how should we fix Iraq?"

"I say, you let me rip Iraq apart with my enormous pectorals. By the way, do your daughters like to (deleted) and (deleted) and maybe would like me to put my (deleted) in their (deleted)?"

"Uh..yeah, sure! Just buy them some beer."

[gratuitous]

9. Bush has "a job to do . . . in Washington"?

And what would that be? Any ideas?

[callous taoboy]

11. LIAR!!!!!

.

[NNN0LHI]

12. Maybe they can have a little gang bang together? n/t

[benfranklin1776]

13. Or some doping and groping.

n/t

[MaineDem]

14. Does he have inside information on how the election will turn out?

Are those Diebold machines already programmed?

[glarius]

15. Bush thinks his pronunciation sounds better than Arnold's!

He's for anyone who sounds worse than him!hahahaha

[onehandle]

16. I can't wait until the first photo op...

"Dry-Drunk AWOL Treasonous Fraud stands firm with Hitler-Loving Sexual Predator."

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

17. People of CA do not want Ahhnold-

Whether or not they are staging millions of "fake" absentee ballots
or Deibold fraud hacks happen remains to be seen.

But Bernie Ward is confident and so am I that today they majority of the people will vote "NO" !!

I'm going to my polling place right now to VOTE NO"--wish me luck
seeya folks

[benfranklin1776]

22. Good Luck and get five more people to go as well if you can.

n/t

[imax2268]

18. Makes me wonder

about that whole meeting with Ahhhnold and Ken Lay...BushCo refusing to help Davis...sounds fishy...

Good Luck CA...don't let the rethugs win...

[bahrbearian]

31. Now Now we don't want to talk about that,,,,Groping is much more exciting.

[nini]

19. FUCK YOU GEORGE

I cannot believe how much I can hate that sonofabitch

[Drifter]

21. Good ...

by 2005, he should have enough time freed up to appear in Terminator 4.

Cheers
Drifter

[0rganism]

23. Oh, I bet he could "work" with Arnold

The irony is just fucking me up these days. I should probably stop watching the news.

[Junkdrawer]

24. He then said "Oops, I read Wednesday's notes by mistake..."

"Forget I said that."

[chemenger]

25. And if Californians vote No on the recall

and Grey Davis holds on to the governor's office will the Dickhead-in-Chief be willing to work with Governor Davis? Or ... is * going o find some way to screw davis again ala Enron?

[gasperc]

26. Fucking over Davis and 30million Californians is tiring Bush out

California Democrats VOTE NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[laylah]

27. All I can say/do

is :puke: Birds of a feather.......

Jenn

[old_dad]

28. over 2 million absentee ballots

I'm guessing there are a lot of deceased Republicans in those 2 million absentee ballots. This one smells fishy already.

[fishnfla]

29. Watch Pickles and the twins around this guy, Dumbya

I mean, ya gonna have spend the night in the WH?

[robbedvoter]

30. Springtime for Hitler in harmony.....

Can you imagine these too sharing family albums?

[zekeson]

32. Ineresting that he doesn't want to work with any other states

but he is willing to work with Arnie, who ain't even elected yet. That fraud needs to go - yeah, and Arnie, too.

[Spider Jerusalem]

33. Christ. Not only can I not watch that fuckhead on television...

I can't even read quotes without feeling almost physically ill. The man's stupidity is painful. Every quotation from Bush reproduced in the above-excerpted article contains grammatical errors. Surprised his remarks weren't cleaned up to make him sound less of an idiot.

[demgrrrll]

34. Can you even begin to imagine what Rove has on Arnold? What a

malleable little puppet he would be if he does prevail in this election. I mean think about it, 15 women in 7 days, you know that is just the tip of the iceberg. If he wins he will not be able to wipe his a** without someone giving the OK. He is being touted as a tough guy and he is probably the most vulnerable of all the candidates to blackmail and coercion. On a lighter note I would hope that if he does prevail that they will forever lose the moral "highground" they unjustly claimed during the Clinton years.

I hope with all my heart that this recall vote does not pass.

[leesa]

36. Oh Christ Californians, hang on to your pocketbooks!

Now comes the final phase of the GOP looting of California.

[benfranklin1776]

37. Not yet damnit. Polls are still open for another three hours.

Plenty of time.

[pippin]

38. yeah, what a partnership . . .

the chimp and the chump/goon and gonads. :-(
