When we last saw our favorite Republican bigwigs, Arnie and George, they were having a bit of a problem getting together. Twice, during the President's extended and ill-fated vacation, he visited our fair state and twice he did so without the presence of Herr Governator. The Governor was just too busy to hook up with the President and we totally can sympathize-- it's always hard to try and reconnect with old friends. Especially ones who have lower poll numbers than us. Anyways, both teams said there was nothing to see there and no big deal and nothing going on and that they'd love to toss a few non-alcoholic (or, as the rumors are saying, alcoholic) brewskis together. Then again, maybe not.

See the President is supposed to visit California in October for a huge, Republican fund-raiser, but in an interview with the Chron, Schwarzenegger says that he's told the President’s people to stay away. Schwarzenegger needs all the money he can get for his Very Special Election and since there are only so many dollars to be raised, he's afraid Bush will take some of them. Turns out this state ain't big enough for the two of them.

Also, in an interview with the A.P., the Governor admitted to making some mistakes in his run-up to the Very Special Election, including the realization that what was once funny on "Saturday Night Live" isn’t funny as a Governor. He was also asked, in response to his opposition of the big Gay Marriage bill, if he had ever attended a gay/lesbian marriage or a gay/lesbian commitment ceremony. His response? “I don’t remember.” We know how that’s like: there’s several weddings we can’t really remember either due to what we commonly like to refer to as "open bar." On the other hand, we think we'd pretty much remember a gay/lesbian wedding. Then again, we're not trying to kiss anyone's political ass while also making sure we can still work in Hollywood.
