Yup, you’re right. It’s the projection. Same thing about them demonizing “the gays” then finding themselves foot tapping in airport mens room. The hypocrisy goes on and on.
Back to Arnold, it would be great if he would start calling out some of his fellow repubs, even if just in his home state of Calif, such as Nunes from Tulare (who quit, I realize) and McCarthy over in Kern.
Perhaps because they’ve first identified actors who 1) are willing to lead under the GOP flag; 2) can be controlled by the GOP; and 3) are deemed likely to win the election they’re up for. (BONUS: A win means the GOP getting to say, “See? Even Hollywood is switching!”)
I kinda feel like Schwarzenegger is the kind of Republican that Republican voters of my parents’ generation think Reagan was. If the GOP were chock full of Arnolds, politics might be halfway tolerable.
I feel like “C’mon, don’t bullshit me” is a generic enough phrase that most people wouldn’t recognize it as a quote from a specific movie anyway. It’s not exactly “Hasta la vista, baby” or “Get to the choppa!!”
Back in the 90s, I listened to the university radio in Auckland NZ (95 bFM). The morning DJ was an irreverent hoot who went by the name of Mikey Havoc. His interviews were a lot of fun, partly because he talked to everyone like they were his neighbour. For a while, the Prime Minister was a regular call-in.
He was once sked if he’d ever been star-struck or lost for words. “Only one person: Buzz Aldrin. And I would still be lost for words today.”
