Red card for Arnie

Red card for Arnie

Furious politicians from Arnold Schwarzenegger's home city have turned on him over his refusal to stop the execution of a reformed gangster.

Councillors in the Austrian city of Graz yesterday voted to remove the California governor's name from the local football stadium.

-snip-

Graz deputy mayor Walter Ferk said: said: 'It is annoying that we are being criticised because of Schwarzenegger's actions in California.

'It is not exactly admirable for us to be connected with the death penalty. Therefore, I am in favour of renaming the stadium.'

-snip-

***

dear Mods: similar articles have been posted, but this one is saying that his name *IS TO BE REMOVED* from the stadium.

i leave it up to you, of course.

thank you

He made a choice. There are repurcussions of that choice, here in the states, in his home country, etc.

6. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I love it! We are the bloody disgrace of the

world! And Kali-forn-i-a is leading the way! Nice goin', Arnie! And if your bud McPherson does what he was told to do and re-certifies Diebold touchscreens, we can write the whole country off to fascist theocracy for the next thousand years. 600 A.D., here we come!
