“Wealthy companies set new records in political contributions to buy this veto. Schwarzenegger bends whichever the way the corporate winds blow. Just a few weeks ago, the Restaurant Association, a major opponent of the bill, hosted a fund-raiser for Schwarzenegger in Los Angeles. Coincidence? I don't think so.”
Art Pulaski
“This Halloween the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.”
Conan O'Brien
“This puts Schwarzenegger on the hot seat. I think it's a slam-dunk that he's going to have to veto the bill and hope that the anger in the gay community doesn't spill over into other groups.”
Bruce Cain
“No, it would not be acceptable. Yes, we have veto power over certain songs in the set list. But we also understand that these guys are artists, and we try and allow them to be so.”
Charles Coplin
“President Bush has been silent on Schwarzenegger. Of course, he can't pronounce Schwarzenegger.”
David Letterman
“The Sacramento Bee is reporting that Arnold Schwarzenegger is not going to run for governor. You know what would be better? Arnold should do what he does in the Terminator movies. He should go back in time and prevent Gray Davis from ever being born. That way you wouldn't have the problem.”
Jay Leno
“There's all this talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well, you know where he is now? Visiting Mexico, which I think means that he is definitely going to run for governor. Arnold is smart. He's in Mexico campaigning with the very people who'll be living here by election time.”
