I really am sorry to dredge up such an old topic, but I just heard Arnold Shwarzenegger's Republican National Convention speech (downloaded off of iTMS). I would just like to point out this quote once more:
"And to those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girly men."
I personally, was appalled. Not only is it sexist, but it's promoting a complete disregard for the terrible shape our economy is in.
And this man is governer?

Sorry, I just had to vent a little steam...

Come on now, it's Arnold -- you *do* understand the joke, right? Where that phrase comes from, right?

I understand the joke, but it's not funny.

Don't worry, its OK to vent....

The guy is an ex bodybuilder and action movie star. That he could get elected to the governorship of the most major state in the US is a sign that the "girly man" schtick is a good reflection of the state of politics here.

If you were really appalled, you need to grow some thicker skin. That was a funny remark.

This is 21st Century politics in America.

Stupid = Good

Inappropriate remarks = Even Better
