If you are objective, this is strange. Granted, it has happened many times: sonny, reagan. This is akin to NY getting LL Cool J, or Kenuck getting Kenny Rogers. The line between celeb and politician is getting thin. I'll grant those with raised eyebrows that the two jobs require many of the same skills, and that Arnold will appoint those to advise on thing which he probably doesn't understand: education, monetary policy, tax law, energy, Luddism,..... The fact is that he is an action movie guy. At least Ventura has a military history and came off informed. I just wonder if this is the newest thing - like getting knighted was in the 90's. Here is some logic:If you took the same Arnold, but stripped him off his movie accomplishments, would he have been elected? Absolutely not. Well, if he is hired for the job with movie credentials, but not considered at all with out them, then does that not logically imply that he was hired as a famous actor and not as a politician?
