The Terminator Campaigns for McCain

My wife and I caught the original Terminator movie on free tv this weekend.  Terminator is a great action-adventure movie where ordinary citizen Sarah Connor battles a hi-tech machine.

The star of the movie series, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, made news this weekend by campaigning with Senator John McCain.  Carl Campanile reports in the NY Post:

“I’m about building up the bodies and pumping up . . . I want to invite Sen. Obama to the gym . . . We have to do something about his skinny legs!” Schwarzenegger, a former world-champion bodybuilder, told the crowd at Nationwide Arena.

“He has to do squats.”

“If only we can put meat on his ideas!” he added, telling the crowd, “You look all pumped up!”

He lavished praise on the GOP nominee, saying, “John McCain is ready to lead. We don’t have to wonder if he’s president of the United States.”

He added, “John McCain has served longer in a POW camp than his opponent has in the US Senate . . . I was an action hero in the movies. John McCain is a real action hero.”
