Arnold Schwarzenegger For Climate Change Czar?
**Written by Doug Powers
Admittedly, it would be a perfect fit: Who’s more qualified to peddle the most expensive myth in history than a guy who made a fortune in fiction?
Is Arnold Schwarzenegger angling for a job in the Obama administration?
In an interview with editors at the Los Angeles Times, the outgoing California governor said he was in “no rush” to find a new job when his term ends next month. But asked specifically whether he’d consider a post working for President Obama, he said yes and began to “riff on his credentials,” according to the Times’ David Lauter.
Schwarzenegger, who counts legislation combating global warming as one of his signature achievements in office, suggested he might be interested in a post dealing with energy or the environment.
[...]
It’s not a far-fetched idea. Obama has often mentioned Schwarzenegger as someone he’s like to have in the Cabinet, citing his work on climate change. For months, there have been rumors in Washington that the former action star might join the administration as a climate change czar or as an adviser on energy and the environment.
Schwarzenegger would no doubt commute to this new hypothetical “get people to cut carbon emissions” job in his private Gulfstream jet, which, oddly enough, is the kind of thing Arnold says gives him credibility on environmental issues:
Schwarzenegger said he has credibility on that issue, and “people are very receptive when I talk about these things because I’m a Hummer driver … not a tree hugger.”
True, he’s not a tree hugger. Hypocrite, yes… but tree hugger, no.

Sure, why not stay on the Govt teet with a job that has no real goals. Just take the title and money.
I have always said he was a Kennedy by injection.
Then, let’s make Michael Moore the Fitness Czar.
Or Paris Hilton the Abstinence Czar.
A giant hand?
Yeahhhh. Arnold looking for his next gig. What a sad sack. He needs to get back into steroids. Big dummy.
Do any of these morons actually read the science? Even the left-wing scientists are disgusted with this whole circus.
“Hey all you numbnuts: The jig is up, everyone knows it’s a scam. Nice try, now go home and take a Lunesta and get a good nights sleep. When you wake up, fix yourself a nice hot cup of coffee and have a good laugh.”
I feel good because I believe I have made progress in rebuilding the people’s trust in their government.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
He’s not fit to run a lemonade stand.
Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.
*Worth repeating, even if the squarehead won’t listen: Man made global warming, the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind! *Arnold could go for a two-fer, peddling this nonsense while acting in a remake of Elmer Gantry or The Flim Flam Man, although his diminished mental capacity may exlude him from those roles!
Thulsa Doom: Ah. It must have been when I was younger. There was a time, boy, when I searched for steal, when steal meant more to me than gold or jewels.
Conan: The riddle… of steal.
No such thing as global warming.
Hasta la vista, Ahnold.
DLTDHYOTWO
I dunno, it may be the steroids helped turn him into a big dummy. Either that, or having a lengthy intimate relationship with a lib….or both.
Good one Hangfire! It shows that the looney you are, the more likely you are to have a job in politics.
The Wizard: He did not care any more… life and death… the same. Only that the crowd would be there to greet him with howls of lust and fury. He began to realize his sense of worth… he mattered. In time, his victories could not easily be counted… he was taken to the east, a great prize, where the war masters would teach him the deepest secrets. Language and writing were also made available, the poetry of Khitai, the philosophy of Sung; and he also came to know the pleasures of women, when he was bred to the finest stock. But, always, there remained the discipline of steal.
Now that the admittedly humiliated ManBearPig is backpedaling away from this issue as fast as possible, this is the best these Gaieans can do? Maybe Arnold should talk to MBP before he it’s too late. This is like volunteering to defend Elton John’s manhood after John went public with his homosexuality (like it wasn’t obvious enough).
I guest Arnold is going for the record: biggest fool evah!
Pathetic Imbecile. Makes the perfect “former governor” of California, being repaced by another pathetic imbecile former governor.
A job for the governator in the Oministration? Great idea! Not climate czar though. I recommend that he replace Gibbs. I can see the SNL skit in my head already…
Where’s Michelle today? Preparing for the mini ice age hitting Colorado? Suck it up Michelle! We’ve been getting record rain fall out here but you don’t hear me complaining do you? (pray for us).
Arnold needs to go back to making movies and leave the envirotoxic green policies to the landfill of bad liberal ideas.
Rogue – you are the MASTER historian of Conan the Barbarian! Too bad, Ahnold can in no way be confused with Conan–he’s a wuss.
How about The Music Man? Great flim flam film, but with a happy and musical ending!
Climate Change Czar, what country?
Clearly Arnold doesn’t have the brains to recognize a hoax when he sees/lives one.
Actually, Global Warming is giving a giant finger to everyone.
Harry Tasker: If I break it, they can take it outta my pay.
What can you say about a man that greets his future mother-in-law by telling her that her daughter “has a nice ass.”
Too bad Benny Hill is dead. He would make a good Political Correctness Czar.
The one she married, or the one she sits on?
yeah. Somewhat nauseating.
What’s more nauseating is that the Senate cleared the way for Obama’s START treaty with Russia. 67 to 28. Lamar Alexander among the spineless turncoats.
Arnold, you should return to the one thing you’re good at, making Terminator movies. You excell at being a fake human who is only capable of destroying things.

lamar Alexander is a sorry representative of the great state of Tennessee. RINO Imbecile. To be fair, Corker actually makes Lamar look good.
Arnie is conflicted. He is a steriod head dude whose mind is being run by his wife and the Kennedy family.
He doesn’t know which way to go because his moral compass has always been compromised. People without real conviction can be easily led astray. He is so full of himself that he is blinded by the brightness of his own star. He can only hear what Maria whispers in his ear.
Global warming. Come on Arnie. Get it together man. You have lost it and many have now lost respect for you. You are being duped.
Wouldn’t he make a better Sec of Defense? We need a girly man leading our troops. Or would he be better utilized as an economic adviser?
Decisions, decisions.
What a punk.
“It might be a tumor.”
{cue: Rogue Cheddar}
Somebody please tell them the scam has been exposed so they don’t embarrass themselves further.
Wait, I thought he was going to sell perpetual energy machines…
Benny Hill: Well there was Mable from the stable, and Mary from the dairy,
We had a visit by our beauty queen.
And that great big Betty Mavery, and she’s got her own aviary,
She’s got the biggest parakeets I’ve ever seen.
Detective John Kimble: I have a headache.
Lowell: It might be a tumor.
Detective John Kimble: It’s not a tumor!
Detective John Kimble: SHUUUUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Hell I don’t know why not, he’s at least as self deluded as any czar this President has previously appointed.
No no no, it’s more like:
IT’S NAHT A TOOMAH!!!
FIFY
Every time Schwartzenegger opens his mouth toxic fumes and gases are released into the atmosphere, further polluting the environment.
He is passing gas, and spewing diahrrea of the mouth, so what would he be qualified to be Climate Change Czar when he passes so much gas and noxious fumes?
It’d be humorous except for that this intellectual giant would be joining forces with hell-bent-on-turning-you-green EPA.

I think you’re on to something. My personal take is that Ahnold has been sampling all the batches of medicinal marijuana from the fields near Sacramento! That and steroid use are probably factors for his silliness.
Anyone who actually knows Arnold will tell you the same thing … he’s a d***, a persistent womanizer and power mad from the word Go.
Like he was born to be a politician.
Go down to your local gym, start a conversation with one of the hulks and imagine him Climate Change Czar. Yeah, it’s like that…
