Governor Arnold @#$%ing Schwarzenegger. Crook.

More here, salient bit below.

In a meeting last year with former San Francisco 49ers Coach Bill Walsh in the Capitol, state Sen. Jackie Speier was discussing her legislation to crack down on high-school athletes' use of performance-enhancing supplements.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger unexpectedly popped in, cigar in hand, the Hillsborough Democrat recalled.

" 'Oh, yeah, I'm for that,' " she remembered him saying.

So Speier was stunned when, in September, Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill. Indeed, on the surface, his veto was something of a surprise: There was no organized opposition.

But in taking the action, the Republican governor sided with a segment of the dietary supplement industry that advertises heavily to would-be muscle builders. Schwarzenegger has a contract with a major muscle-magazine publisher that promises to pay him an estimated $8 million over the next five years for helping to "further the business objectives" of the company.

This kind of crap is part of why Grey @#$%ing Davis was thrown out on his ass. Arnold's just too famous to have stuff like this not pop up more easily. It couldn't be more blatant.
