Calif. governor wants Michigan to ‘drop dead’ over warming, he alleges

A Michigan congressman is defending the U.S. auto industry against fuel efficiency increases by criticizing a famous foe of global warming: California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Republican Rep. Joe Knollenberg’s re-election campaign placed a billboard along a busy interstate in metropolitan Detroit that reads, “Arnold to Michigan: Drop Dead!” It shows a grim-looking picture of the actor-turned-politician and draws attention to a Web site.

“Michigan and the Big Three are being unfairly bullied by politicians who have no understanding of auto manufacturing,” Knollenberg said Thursday in a statement announcing the billboard and Web site: www.big3defense.com.

But, Congressman, Arnold is buying trees to offset his personal air travel pollution. The Governator is doing his part. Now Michigan must do theirs.

No?
