ironically, he IS a "sane republican"

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a sane Republican? It's hard to imagine the Hummer-driving, woman-groping cigar-smoking actor-turned-governator laying claim to that title -- but he comes by it honestly with his attempts to do something about climate change by trying to cut California emissions.

And when you compare him to the de facto Bush administration and GOP congressional morons like Richard Pombo (who was defeated in November) and James Inhoffe, he looks like the very model of logic and reason on the environment.

Maybe Arnold and Al Gore can do a road-show together extolling the virtues of trying to mitigate climate change. Al & Arnold -- the Road Show to Save the Planet. Could be Arnie's greatest role.
