Los Angles Police Lieut. Paul Vernon said Schwarzenegger does not have the proper endorsement on his California driver's licence to operate a motorcycle. Vernon said police did not ticket the governor for a violation because they arrived after the accident, which caused Schwarzenegger to suffer a cut on his upper lip that required 15 stitches. Poor baby!
Instead, officers referred their findings to the Los Angeles city attorney's office, which will determine whether the governor should be cited for an infraction. Driving a motorcycle without the proper licence can result in fines ranging from $100 to $250 or more.
The city attorney's office could not immediately confirm receiving the police department's report. (wink) I wonder why or who got paid???
Earlier Tuesday, Schwarzenegger acknowledged he never bothered to obtain a motorcycle licence because he "never thought about it." Thats because he's the Governer and who has to follow rules when you are the Governor.
"I just never really applied for it," he said during a state budget briefing.
"It was just one of those things that I never really did."
It's repoted that Schwarzenegger, a Harley Davidson owner who rides regularly along the California coast, said he had a motorcycle licence when he lived in Europe but never thought about obtaining another one after he arrived in the United States in 1968. Gosh! Golly Geez Arnold it's A merica. He so f.u.c.k.i.n.g LAME.
Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson, acting on initial information Sunday, said the governor's Class C driver's licence allowed him to ride the motorcycle with its sidecar attached. His 12-year-old son, Patrick, who was riding in a sidecar, was unhurt.
California Highway Patrol officers accompanied Schwarzenegger on the ride. Spokesman Tom Marshal said CHP officials also concluded the governor was permitted to operate a motorcycle with a sidecar. WELL NOW LOOK IT HERE...I THINK THAT YOUNG FIESTY COP MAY LOSE HIS JOB OVER THIS!!! THANKS TO ARNOLD. DUMB ASS POLITICIANS
"We're not criticizing the LAPD," he said after learning of the department's finding.
"We haven't seen the report...but that's how we read the vehicle code as applying."
Los Angeles police had no immediate response to the highway patrol's statement, that's because they don't want to lose their jobs either.
To obtain such an endorsement, a motorcycle rider must pass a skills test given by the state Department of Motor Vehicles or take a motorcycle training course from a program approved by the highway patrol. But lets face it the later movie actor now Governor is exempted.
Another highway patrol spokesman, declined to discuss if officers had checked, or would check in the future, whether the governor had a proper licence.(LMFAO) And futher said he could not disclose such information because it involved Schwarzenegger's protective detail. Maybe because he had a gun at his head.
I think that many are now wondering whether the governor Arnold Schwarzenegger a Nazi governator?
Probably no more than Bill Clinton was a racist cracker as governor of Arkansas. Yet these vitriolic slurs were aimed at both men by the family and friends of condemned black men this duo executed as irredeemable dangers to their separate states. It did not help that Clinton had an Arkansas drawl, and that Schwarzenegger yodels like a crossing guard in a grade B World War II movie.
The coincidence of Schwarzenegger's roots was not lost on his native Austria, which has not quite lived down its reputation for state-sponsored killings during the 1940s by its more infamous son. Along with neighboring Germany, the government of Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel opposed the execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams, as it opposes all capital punishment. Thanks in part to the wartime excesses of the Weimar Republic, all such executions have been outlawed by the European Union. Some Austrians even maintain that Schwarzenegger's execution of Tookie Williams brings shame upon the country of his birth.
In the governator's hometown of Graz, members of the opposition Green Party are attempting to strip Schwarzenegger's name from the local sports stadium. Others suggested that the stadium be named for Williams, a move that would maintain muscle mass while replacing a man of violence with a reformed one. The national Green Party called for Vienna to strip away Schwarzenegger's citizenship, but Schuessel turned a deaf ear.
Comparing Schwarzenegger to Hitler, the Green Party notwithstanding, is farfetched and totally misses the point.
Schwarzenegger allowed Tookie Williams to be executed as a political act. In this, the governator resembles no one so much as Gov. Bill Clinton, who refused to grant clemency to Rickey Ray Rector on the eve of the 1992 presidential election.
In both cases, the condemned man, the matter of his guilt aside, raised mitigating questions about his execution. Williams, 51, had reformed his outlook and did the state some service during his 24 years on death row. The former street leader counseled black youth against gang-banging, wrote children's books and confessed the evils of his days of violence. Some - although not the state - condemned Williams for lives taken on the streets by the Crips - the gang he helped found - and the rival Bloods. California instead killed Williams for taking the life of a white 7-Eleven clerk and three immigrants from China.
Additionally, Schwarzenegger held against Williams the fact that he refused to snitch on the Crips and that he dared dedicate his books to black heroes the waxen-faced Austrian knew nothing about. "The mix of individuals on this list is curious," said the California governor. These irredeemable strangers rolling off Schwarzenegger's tongue included such names as Nelson Mandela, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Geronimo ji Jaga Pratt, Ramona Africa, heroes all. He took special exception to George Jackson, who in his own way is as great as any and certainly greater than any murderous character played by the Hollywood governator.
As for Clinton's death penalty case, the 40-year-old Rector shot one Arkansas cop and reportedly committed another murder before turning the gun on himself and blowing away part of his brain. "Purely and simply, this is a measure of how civilized we are," said Jeff Rosenzweig, who called his client, Rector, a zombie. "At what level of disability do you kill people?"
The level for state execution for both Clinton and Schwarzenegger was the level commensurate with getting them elected. In the South and measurably among conservatives across the nation, the death penalty is a litmus test for political leadership.
Additionally, this particular test among these specialized groups requires also that the condemned man be African-American. This is a bloodthirsty example of the absolute corruption of the so-called democratic process. H.L. Mencken once observed that, if on the eve of an election, a prospective politician discovered that 100 voting cannibals separated him from victory, it's a sure bet that he would not speak out against cannibalism. As the election approached, Mencken guaranteed that the politician would publicly begin to view cannibalism in a new light.
So it was with Clinton and Schwarzenegger, and so it is likely to be with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who wisely campaigns under the expert wand of her husband. As a senator, she thankfully will not get a chance to execute a Williams or a Rector. But, as with her husband, the day will arrive when Sen. Clinton will be called upon to prove her worthiness for higher office by administering blunt trauma to the aspirations of African-Americans.
