Schwarzenegger out sources popularity

[Johonny]

Trying to reenact the ending of Spinal Tap. Arnold heads to the Far East where fans still remember him. Lucky for Californians he wasn't working for any special interest groups like teachers, policemen or a fire fighter. But those down and out Hollywood producers and software makers.


BEIJING - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, bruised last week in a special election at home, began a six-day trade mission in the Far East on Monday, trying to tap into the burgeoning Chinese market by promoting California products and urging protections for Hollywood from the piracy of copyrighted movies. Schwarzenegger's celebrity quickly overshadowed his recent political woes — he and his wife, Maria Shriver, were briefly mobbed by fans and photographers Monday in a moment of chaos. No one was hurt in the melee, but both the governor and first lady appeared momentarily shaken. Shriver later acknowledged she had been "a little" scared by the pandemonium of the eager crowd.
