Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Austria “State Criminal”
The stadium at Graz, Austria, on Monday Dec, 26, 2005, after the name of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was removed from the stadium overnight. Officials in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s hometown Graz, removed his name from the soccer stadium overnight, complying with the California governor’s demand in a bitter dispute over his death penalty stance. Schwarzenegger had written to the mayor of Graz a week ago, asking that his name be removed after local activists called for the stadium to be renamed because of Schwarzenegger’s refusal to block the execution of convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams in California.
MARK STEYN: Like It Is: Tookie goes to Austria
“…People have had enough of him,” Peter Pilz, an MP in the Steiermark regional parliament, told The Guardian. “For us, he has committed a state crime…”
“…Americans have responsibilities, Europeans have attitudes….”
So, like the von Trapps, Arnold is singing as he goes:
Green Party poseurs
And posturing mayors
Renaming stadia
For multiple slayers
Dull civic honors of cheap cheesy rings
These are a few of my least fav’rite things…
Arnold to Graz: Don’t ring me, I’ll ring you.
Good Grief……..
