This thread deserves to have some life breathed into it with the Gropenator's inauguration tomorrow, and with this news:
Quote:For many days, aides have portrayed California Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger as hard at work in meetings on his new administration which takes office on Monday.
It turns out that the actor and his wife Maria Shriver have been vacationing in Hawaii with their four children, a person close to the family told Reuters. "They took the children off to Hawaii," he said on Wednesday, adding that the couple's kids missed some school as a result of the pre-inaugural travels.
In communications to the media, his transition office has sought to project the image of a man hard at work. "He will hold private transition meetings and discussions with members of his transition team," his office has said in a routine statement put out daily in recent days. From the capital in Sacramento, his office has also announced a series of announcements.
But they are declining to talk about Hawaii.
"We are not going to discuss his private time and what he chooses to do in his private time," spokeswoman Karen Hanretty said. "On a daily basis he continues to work on establishing a new administration, regardless of where he is."
The source who knew of the Hawaii trip joked: "Maybe he has no roaming charges on his cell phone."
Luau or Labor?
"Dis vill be da last vacation wid my family until I haf solfed all of Caleefornia's problems..."
