Warm Welcome for the Gropinator... Or Not`

And Stranger at Blah3 offers this look at Arnold that goes missing in the MSM:

Or not. Heh.
    Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to his alma mater turned into an exercise in perseverance when virtually his every word was accompanied by catcalls, howls and piercing whistles from the crowd.

    Schwarzenegger's face appeared to redden during his 15-minute commencement address Tuesday to 600 graduates at Santa Monica College, but he ignored the shouting as he recalled his days as a student and, later, his work as a bodybuilder and actor.

    "Always go all out and overcome your fears," he told the graduates. "Work, work, work. Study, study, study."

    Inside the stadium, the drone from hundreds of rowdy protesters threatened to drown out the governor's voice at times. Many in the crowd erupted in boos when a police officer pulled down a banner criticizing the estimated $45 million cost of the November 8 special election that Schwarzenegger proposed Monday.
Damn. He got this close to saying 'Arbeit Macht Frei,' didn't he?
