BUT DON’T GET BUSTED!
Police: Schwarzenegger Riding Illegally
By STEVE LAWRENCE, Associated Press Writer
Tue Jan 10, 9:16 PM ETSACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was riding his motorcycle illegally over the weekend when he collided with a car in his Los Angeles neighborhood, police said Tuesday.
All he wants to do is ride around Arnie…
Ride Arnie, ride!
Los Angeles Police Lt. Paul Vernon said Schwarzenegger does not have the proper endorsement on his California driver’s license 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.
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 license 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.
Earlier Tuesday, Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he never bothered to obtain a motorcycle license because he “never thought about it.”
“I just never really applied for it,” he told reporters during a state budget briefing. “It was just one of those things that I never really did.”
And republicns wonder why they are always being brought to the attention of judges everywhere? These dummies don’t ever “think about it.”
Hey! It was just one mistake, right?
Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson, acting on initial information Sunday, said the governor’s Class C driver’s license allowed him to ride the motorcycle with its sidecar attached. His 12-year-old son, Patrick, who was riding in a sidecar, was unhurt.
But Thompson conceded the governor probably took years of illegal motorcycle rides because he lacked an endorsement on his license that would permit him to drive a motorcycle without a sidecar.
Well ok… So it was just a bunch of mistakes over the years that he never really thought about. Years of illegal riding, eh?
Oh! And never mind recklessly endangering his poor son’s life while certainly setting very poor ethical and moral examples for his child and children everywhere.
Anyone ever notice how it is always the cover up of their illegal efforts that seem to get those republicans in more trouble than their original crimes?
Now… Just why is it the police didn’t ticket this reckless republican rider?
California Highway Patrol officers accompanied Schwarzenegger on Sunday’s ride, but police spokesman Steve Kohler declined to discuss if officers had checked, or would check in the future, whether the governor had a proper license. Kohler said he could not disclose such information because it involved Schwarzenegger’s protective detail.
OOPS! They’re busted too?
Oh well… Just another in a long line of reckless repulican bikers and their brushes with the law.
Bush collides with police officer during bike ride
Thursday, July 7, 2005 Posted: 0747 GMT (1547 HKT)AUCHTERARDER, Scotland (CNN) — President Bush collided with a British police officer during a bike ride Wednesday evening, suffering scrapes on his hands and arms that required bandaging, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
Just another day in the life of the “GOP frat boy party”…
on the news today about “making decisions all alone in the gov mansion”?
I could NOT believe it. Paraphrase: “Well, yes, I ran on cutting taxes and spending, but that was before I was in office, and facing decision-making all alone in the governor’s mansion”.
Yeah.
Give. Me. A. Break.
Translation: “Yeah, I lied and hawked Republican talking points to get elected, but now that I’m here, I see it’s more complex, so I’m going to attempt to govern JUST LIKE the guy I THREW OUT of office.”
Bleah!
Did you expect anything more from the GOP? Or less, I guess?
I didn’t hear that but that’s pretty funny…like he’s really all alone in the governors mansion(which my understanding is that he doesn’t stay there anyway but at some fancy hotel when he’s in Sacramento)..as if he doesn’t have the weight of the whole rotten repug platform/party telling him how he should be running the state..Alone my ass…oh cry me a river..boo-fucking-hoo.
Ahnold has taken the electorate for a ride as well.
His statement:
“A car pulled out in front of me — it was right there in front — and I just couldn’t make a decision which way to go. I knew if I turned left that the Republicans will get mad, and I knew if I turned right my wife will get mad. So I just crashed right into the car. This was the safer thing to do.”

Ahh yes, let’s make a silly quip about a potentially deadly accident.
I had to check that link out just to see if he really fucking said that? (Not that I don’t trust you boran2… Just that I couldn’t believe my eyes!)
Typical of them to think breaking the law is a joke (IOKIYAR)…
But the spin in the article I read said that he had a motorcycle license, just the wrong kind, but in your article link:
He has no motorcycle license at all AND…
According to the article I linked he had his “police escort” that typically accompanies him everywhere AND…
Isn’t it up to a prosecutor to decide if it merits being brought in front of a judge to decide if Arnie broke the law.
Which, by all accounts, he did did break the law.
There seems to be some major “disinformation efforts” on the news fronts…
You’d think a normal response would be for Arnie to say that he will be getting the proper license and paying the/a fine-you know take some of that ‘personal responsiblity’ that all the repugs are always yammering on about…yeah right.
As for his stupid ‘joke’….I’ve noticed he likes to make Marie the butt of his oneliners….I can’t recall any other politician(if you can call this idiot that)so often using his wife in his comments like Arnie does…but but he respects women ya know.
Interesting perspective on his wife… I didn’t even notice the chauvenistic nuance in that statement, though I do realize his tendencies as the “gropinator”. I suspect a lot of guys would blow on by that statement without even thinking about it.
I can’t point to or think of any examples off hand other than I have noticed he does like to drag Marie into his speeches or interviews in little one-liners like this…one time he actually said something to the effect that if he didn’t do something(politically) she’d cut off sex for several weeks or something like that which had me dumbfounded..he really is a neanderthal asshole.
We know Arnie’s previous statements (nevermind his actions!) you are refering to… No need to point to them! lol
Wonder if I can use that one to get out of paying a parking ticket?
I wouldn’t try that UNLESS you are a rich republican elitist…
