Democrat Plans 'Girlie Man' Schwarzenegger Doll
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters)


California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called Democrats "girlie men" during a recent budget battle. Now, a Democratic lobbyist wants to turn him into one in the form of a bobblehead doll in a hot pink dress and matching pumps. ..

"If there is a perfect example of a girlie man it's Arnold," lobbyist John Edgell said on Thursday, adding that Schwarzenegger's jibe at Democrats and efforts to halt the sale of an earlier bobblehead doll both invited satire.

"I'm driving home the point to Schwarzenegger and his closest advisers that it's the American public's right to poke fun at politicians," Edgell said. "If they have a problem with that they can sue me."

Schwarzenegger's office declined to comment on plans for the new doll. His private lawyer was unavailable for comment.

Edgell earlier this year developed a bobblehead doll of Schwarzenegger in a business suit toting a rifle as a satirical and political statement against his action films. Edgell described the movies as "mindlessly violent."

A company owned by Schwarzenegger sued to stop its distribution. A settlement allowed the sale of a bobblehead doll of the Hollywood icon without the weapon. ..

5. This is the greatest
article of recent times. It's got all the elements of a great novel: pathos, tension, a hero (a lobbyist no less!), a heroine being wronged (Ahnold of course). I love it!

8. the pumps give him a needed lift.
he probably has lifts in his shoes now. I think he is only like 5'7" or 5'8". Probably has a little girlie wank also.

12. Sorry, I find this "girlie man / men" stuff reprehensible.
Arnold was a total ignorant bigot when he mentioned these words. What / whom is he trying too offend: girls, men?

As a gay man, a democrat, and a citizen of the world...I find his words extremely offensive!

Just my 2¢
