Drive like I say, not as I do
Would-be Governor Gangbang is now an environmentalist:

"The things I've learned in this last month running for office have been spectacular," he said.
Well, at least he didn't say "fabulous".
...and this can't be good news:
But longtime GOP fund-raiser Bob Grady, a managing director of the Carlyle Group, said that as an environmental adviser to Schwarzenegger he is convinced of the actor's credentials
