Someone else asked whether he would be offered a cabinet position. Don’t laugh.
A federal tax lien for nearly $80,000 filed against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is related to “a minor paperwork tracking discrepancy,” and is expected to be cleared up quickly with no penalty assessed on the governor, spokesman Aaron McLear said this afternoon.
Public records show the lien was filed May 11 at the Los Angeles County recorder’s office for $79,064, according to a record in an electronic database that includes lien filings. The record lists the debtor as Arnold Schwarzenegger and the address as the governor’s home address in Brentwood.
The lien was reported Friday by TMZ.com, which posted a copy of a lien document that says it is from the county recorder’s office. That document shows that Schwarzenegger owes $39,047.20 from 2004 and $40,016.80 from 2005.

How many steaks do these people in politics need to eat in order to be happy? How big, fat and puffy do they need to become in order to feel satisfied?
You know, it dawned on me today that although I may not be rich, and although I do not have all the trappings of modern conveniences that money can buy, I am happy simply being myself.
In my humble opinion, this whole cat and mouse game for money that politicians are playing these days is a testament to how utterly bereft they are of any semblance of self worth. They are to be pitied, that is, if anyone really gave a damn…

There is no worth unless it is defined by having someone elses trappings. Simply sickening.

Schatzi didn’t investigate himself for fondling women, why would he care about this little setback?

This is a minor detail. Just a bitty for the gov as opposed to the rest of us that would have been fined and jailed.

does this mean BHO is going to give him a cabinet position?

Stranger things have happened.

He can give him the whole China cabinet as far as I’m concerned!
