CNN and the Associated Press has China fans mob Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the millionaire movie star and governor of the U.S. state of California, made a big splash at his first event in China on Monday — perhaps too big of a splash for his security detail after dozens of photographers and fans mobbed him in the Chinese capital

Schwarzenegger had just finished speaking at an event honoring the Special Olympics program in China when bedlam descended on him and his entourage.

He and his wife, Maria Shriver, were momentarily separated from their official security detail and Chinese police had to shove away photographers and curious onlookers who surrounded the couple.

It was a new experience for Schwarzenegger, who in recent months has been dogged by protesters in California as he promoted his special election.

Schwarzenegger arrived in Beijing on Monday to start a six-day mission to promote California products and encourage Chinese officials to crack down on the piracy of copyrighted music, movies and software.

Also on his agenda: political rehabilitation.

Schwarzenegger’s trade mission will provide a much-needed fresh start after the losing special election campaign, allowing him to reclaim his role as California’s high-profile ambassador-in-chief.

Well, it sure beats having firemen refusing to shake your hand and nurses waving placards of protest!

The Governator took care of the nurses on Friday but public employee pension reform……. Flap bets it is on the backburner too.
