Well, we've got an action movie star controlling the world's fifth largest economy now.

Some choice bits from the above link:

In another brilliant move, Schwarzenegger committed to only one televised debate, on the condition that he received the questions in advance.

Had he been someone else, he may have been mortally wounded by the allegations made by, at last count, 16 women that he was a serial groper and sexual harasser. Schwarzenegger had known this bombshell was coming as his behaviour over decades with women was an open secret in Hollywood.

Schwarzenegger benefited, too, from a relatively short campaign - 76 days - in which he could speak in generalities and be all things to all people: he is against new taxes, for better schools, clean air and beaches, less traffic.

It's sad that I had to go to an aussie news site to find a media outlet critical of the Governator, the man who actually had the balls to quote his films as part of his campaign schtick.

God.
