Democrat Plans "Girlie Man" Doll For Arnie
<snip>

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) 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.

The Republican governor, a former bodybuilding champion, first made the remark during California's budget fight with the state's Democrat-controlled legislature. The comment, which drew howls of protest from Democrats, echoed old Saturday Night Live television show skits about bodybuilders.

"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."

1. That's Arnold's Achille's Heel: his massive ego about his image.
Expect another "frivolous lawsuit" by a Republican.
