There's something about Maria

Schwarzenegger, Shriver separating after 25 years He's running for ‘reelection’

I'm not the only person, I'll wager, who's wondered how Arnie's attempt to get back to Hollywooding will go. I mean, here's a guy who possessed something of a John Wayne aura amongst movie goers.  The no nonsense, get out-uff my way live action hero.  That audience were the same people who championed his ouster of ass-hat Democrat Gov. Gray Davis.  The same constituency who caused talk about changing the constitution —  so he could run for president (now a fait accompli — ahem).  Movie going conservatives were his natural constituency.  Now, the perception exists among them that after running afoul of California's ruling Democrats, Arnie turned to his his wife, daughter of Uncle Ted Kennedy's sister Eunice, to save his political career.  The perception, again, is that Maria saved him by turning him into a girly-man version of the Swimmer. Like Barack Obama, Arnie is faced now with the task of winning reelection.  He, or at least Hollywood producers, need to rely on that conservative box office being there.   Like Barry then, Arnie has to change his image amongst them.  What does any Democrat do, and certainly a  Kennedy, when a lead weight threatens to sink him?  That's right,  Ditch the Bi*ch.  Cut it loose and swim to familiar shores. This is facilitated in Arnie's case because Maria is her mother's daughter. AWK! I'm not saying he can't pull it off.  I am saying that if I am somehow, improbably, enticed into paying to see a new Schwarzenegger movie, all I would see on the screen is Al Gore playing the Terminator.  I couldn't get over that image of his last role. *spit* The fantasy is DOA.
