California Faultline

Edward Headington at Mayor Sam’s Sister City tosses out the possibility that Governor Arnold may be targeting a mayorship, or senate seat, after his second term in Sacramento ends. Heck, I’m still holding out for Arnold to play King Conan.

Headington points to what Schwarzenegger said on Leno a few nights ago:

I see myself as a public servant, not as a politician. I want to finish my term, and I’m absolutely convinced that if I do a good job, and a great job … we always will get a job after that.

If Schwarzenegger does pursue a mayorship or Senate seat, from what neighborhood? While the Los Angeles area seems like a natural, he did recently purchase 25 acres of land in Santa Barbara… let the guessing continue.

After the New York Senator took a seat next to Jay Leno on the Tonight Show set (airing tonight) she said, “It is so great to be here, I was so worried I wasn’t going to make it. I was pinned down by sniper fire.” [via My Way News]

While she was kiddingly referring to recent “mistatements” she recently made about a trip to Bosnia while her husband was in office, Angelenos may have thought she was referring to the growing number of shooting on L.A. area freeways and a seeming rise in gang warfare… or perhaps the city’s rejected 40 hour ban on murder.

Either way, I wonder if some hypersensitive pundits will call her “sniper” joke particularly insensitive considering tomorrow is the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assassination?
