Democrats Plan "Girlie Man" Schwarzenegger doll - (LOL!)
.
Hee hee. This is good.

-----------------------

SAN FRANCISCO, California (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.

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 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."

2. He's such an insecure asshole, I'm sure the "girlie man"
doll in a pink dress and high heels that looks like him will really piss him off.

So much the better.

3. Just make 'Junior' action figures
Arnold is one of the only men to ever play someone who got pregnant! How more girlie-man can you get?! I'm sure there are rights involved and all that, but they could at least say: "Girlie-man? This is coming from a man played a pregnant man?"

4. If it's satire of a public person, then he doesn't have much right
to say that there's a copyright violation.

It's a "Fair Use" of his image under the Copyright Act.
