    Yeah, that's old news. I can't remember what he was trying to say though. It was either that he believes marriage should be between a man and a woman, or that gay marriage is between the couple involved and government should have no say. I'm guessing it was the latter.

    Not such a big deal when viewed in context. This was August 28, 2003. He apparently, like more and more politicians it seems, doesn't support gay marriage but says he would support a domestic partnership. These partnerships typically grant many if not all of the same rights granted in a marriage but appease some. This is the position of Howard Dean for example.

    Well, I thought it was very funny. I also found out that it was mentioned because Arnold was runner up for some dubious "award" for gaffes. I guess I'm just not much of an Arnold watcher.

    You know, I love what Trudeau is doing with Doonesbury. He's got Arnold pictured as a huge disembodied hand and calls him "Herr Gropenfuhrer." Mind you, as most people here probably know, I voted for him and am rooting for him. That being said, I love Trudeau and laugh every time I read the comic strip.

    Chandos - Yeah, Rummy won that award for his "known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns" spiel. :) Both are pretty funny.

    dmc - I like Doonesbury's Herr Gropenfuhrer as well :)

    I only thought Herr Gropenfuhrer was funny for the first two weeks. At least it seemed to go on that long.

    All I'm going to say about this is that the alternatives included a porn star, Larry Flynt, and Gary Coleman.

    Oh, and Jean Chretien has a somewhat severe speech disorder, making some of what he says hard to understand, and he was Prime Minister of Canada from 1993 to three days ago.
