Yeah, there’s a legal reason I won’t be president either, Arnold. Did you know Chicago has the largest phone books in the world? Printed right in Chicago, too. I’m sitting on three of them now. Do you like Elvis? He was a movie star too. Are you making any movies now? How about shooting your next one in Illinois? You could come with me and watch the Cubs play. Funny story, on the way here I was in the limo and this girl on the sidewalk points at me and says…

Arnold Schwarzenegger, star of the 1990 movie Total Recall, discusses the upcoming production of “Total Recall: The Next Generation” with current star Rod Blagojevich. Production is expected to start in early 2009, and will be produced by Mike Madigan, directed by Emil Jones.
Well ElvisRod, do I have the keys to the Mansion in Springfield in my right hand or left hand. Wrong, anyway. But I’ll beeee back! Seeing ya never use the place. Sorry about the broken toys.
Humor -
Schwarzenegger: “Quit raising money in LA!”
Blagojevich: “As soon as you quit raising money in Chicago.”
Schwarzenegger: “People think you’re sitting on something - they don’t realize I’m only 6′ tall … .”
Serious - Arnold is only 6′ tall - even. Until 2004, his staff kept the Sacramento reporters away from him and would not answer any questions about how tall he was. The Sacramento press flushed it out when he stood next to Bush 43 during the 2004 campaign.

Oh my gosh…it’s the Terminator. I can’t believe I’m sitting next to the Terminator. LOOK at his hair! That is good looking hair. I am SITTING right NEXT to the Terminator, man! Republicans would like him to run for President and he wasn’t even born here. I’m a natural born citizen of the US and I can’t even get the Dems to ask me to run. It’s the TERMINATOR, man…I am sitting next to the TERMINATOR!!!!!
