It was Jim Meskimen, same guy who has done voices for Baldur's Gate series. He voiced Edwin in both games and on BG1 he also did some other voices like. Clearly a very talented voice-actor.

Actually I like Arnold. He seems like he really wants to bring the film industry back to California, hence bringing up the economy; and let's face it, if anyone has the connections and influence to do so, it's Arnold.

Davis and his lackey Bustamante are queer. Thanks for cutting the budget on education you @$$3$. They attack Arnold for living in Hollywood, because, duh, he's a goddamn celebrity, while they lounge in their cliff-top luxury homes? WTF are they smoking?

F U Davis, thanks for screwing up California's economy. It's time for Arnold to start pumping California up.

The entire recall is a crock. Jerry Springer denounced it on a recent appearance on Jay Leno, and he did a pretty good job against it; I wish I remembered his actual words because they were pretty compelling. The recall is nothing more than an example of the Republican's insurrectionary attitude against governments not under their control, like during the Clinton administration. But when they are actually running the show it's a completely different story. The Patriot Act, the Victory Act, etc.
The insurrectionary attitude shifts to oppose the people at large. In this the American Right resembles certain other movements from the 1930's and 1940's.

Arnold's programme is another crock, nothing new there, the same old rhetoric about tax cuts bringing prosperity, fiscal responsibility etc. that everyone who wants to prove he's in political fashion mouths, particularily so-called "populists" trying to tap the public's disgust over politicians. Too bad nobody seems to learn that these "populists" are iinvariably dingbats at best and in bed with the people responsible for the problems they denounce in the first place (For example, in Italy present "populist" PM Silvio Berlusconi, had a longtime association with Bettino Craxi, one of the politicians who incarnated the system his voters rebelled against). One explanation I've heard bandied about is that the power companies were deliberately behind the power problems because Gray Davis wouldn't play the game their way. I don't claim this is true (what? a mainstream American politician stickin' it to mega-corporations? not bloody likely) but it fits into the general pattern. Arnold'll probably give the power companies whatever they want.

And as for Arnold and his alleged orgies, who cares? What is the meaning of the American obsession with the dicks of poltical figures, unless that discussion of actual policies and ideas is taboo. Nobody seems to discussing an issue of possible relevance - whether his father was a member of the Waffen SS or some other such unit or not. Mind you if I seem vague on this, yes I am vague. Where is the hard-driven journalism that can enable me and everyone else in the world to make up their minds in an adult fashion, one way or the other? Nowhere to be found, that is. Same deal with Arnold's threats to sue anyone who says anything he doesn't like on the issue of his cardial health. Apparently engaging in kinky sex is of more relevance than the possibility, however remote, that California voters might be installing a trojan horse for neo-fascism.

Arnold Schwarzenegger ought to be in Conan 3, not California politics.

Summary:

I hate teh Republicans. Republicans=Teh Geh. Republicans want to rule America in a facist way, with an iron fist.

Arnold is a Republican, therefore, I hate him. Everything he says is a lie, mainly because he isn't a democrat.

The media is compossed of retards. They care more about peoples personal lives than important issues that will effect citizens.
