Arnold could become president!

But then if you follow the details of the movie (Demolition Man), a whole bunch of amendments need to to be passed because it is the 61st Amendment that repealed the need to be a US Citizen to be President.

Also, they had him as President in the year 2032, which would make him 85 years old.

But I digress...

My view is that if we as a country decide we'd like an 8-year-old Communist born and living in the Ukraine to be president and that person actually wins an election then I'm ok with that.

I wouldn't vote for him but if that's what the country collectively wants badly enough to overcome our inherent xenophobia then we should get it.

Lamas and buddhas and state, oh my.

You couldn't write this sh*t.

Wasn't there a movement started by Republicans a few years back to change the citizenship requirements so Ah-nold could run for President?

Not a significant one, at least not specifically for Schwarzenegger.

George Will has advocated such a change, but he's done that for decades.

Out of curiosity is that an intentional 9/11 reference?

Yes. Gov. Walker has taken over the plane and is steering off the advertised route. It's time to take back control and take down his political career. Let's roll.

Since, by his own habit and due to the vagueries of transliteration, the spelling of Gaddafi's name in the "Roman" alphabet is a crapshoot, I propose all media start spelling it Dickbag.
