"I voted for Arnold because I agreed with his economic plan. And because I was afraid he might punch me in the face if I didn't."

Yeah, the Onion's not usually too subtle, but for all the times they print headlines like "Scissors Cuts Paper, Rock, Turns Blade on Self", sometimes they come up with a gem that needs a double take. I'm just a bit surprised that we haven't seen the word "Califorzenegger" more often....

Haven't heard that one before. An LA Times columnist called Schwartzenegger "Der Gropenfuhrer." Brought tears to my eyes!

I liked this one the best:

"It certainly is an interesting career path, to go from bodybuilder to movie star to politician to man in way over his head."
