Last week, the Governator put an abortion loving lesbian in charge of his Administration. The Right was not amused (neither was the Left, but that's neither here nor there in terms of this posting). How not amused? John Fund in the Wall Street Journal not only compares the nomination of Susan Kennedy to Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers, but wonders if Arnie Jumped the Shark. Puh-lease, that shark was jumped months ago.

But wait, there's more.

In response, a conservative group is starting a drive to draft Mel Gibson to run against the Governator. They've even set up a Web site with an online petition to encourage him to run. We think is an awesome idea. After all, Arnie and Mel never actually squared off in a movie which means it'll be like one of those Kirk vs. Picard type situations. Just think of it, the Terminator versus Braveheart, Predator vs. Lethal Weapon. We can already picture the debate: as Arnie recites one-liners from his movies for the hundredth time, Mel goes into his "Three Stooges" routine while his aides torture him in slow motion.

Why Mel? Well, Mel is a noted conservative and more importantly, really, really, really, really, really, really loves Jesus. And talk about sticking to your guns-- the dude filmed an entire movie in Aramaic. If he can do that, he could totally hold the line on taxes.

So far, there's no comment from Mel's people, but if he doesn’t work out, SFist would like to recommend another noted Hollywood conservative action figure-- Bruce Willis. He's just crazy enough to do it too.

Sadly, one actor who everyone thought might be running won't be. Yesterday, Rob Reiner said he won't run in 2006 due to family concerns and to concentrate on his child care prop measure. He also has a new movie with Jennifer Aniston coming out and he's gotta do the marketing gravy train for that. Priorities, you know.
