-UPDATE-

On second thought, I wonder if Maria might have inadvertently started this? Remember when she went on Oprah? Did she call him out by saying Arnold’s side was going to lose? It’s all good natured fun – except it’s deadly serious and not funny.

OMG – Can you believe this?!?

Axelrod says he wants to see Schwarzenegger on the basketball court with Obama

HENDERSON, NV.–Barack Obama strategist David Axelrod said California Gov. Arnold Schwarzengger–who said on the stump for John McCain that Obama needs to do something about his skinny legs–should play some hoops with Obama.

“I have to tell you, as someone who could use a little work, that Sen. Obama is pretty fit,” Axelrod told reporters here Saturday morning, after an Obama rally.

“Maybe when this is over, we can get Gov. Schwarzenegger on the basketball court and see what he can do,” Axelrod said. This was not a challenge. “No, it’s just a suggestion.”

In Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, where Schwarzenegger, who fame first came as a bodybuilder said of Obama, “He needs to do something about those skinny legs. I’m going to make him do some squats.”

“And then we’re going to make him do some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms,” he said, before comparing the meat on Obama’s bones to a lack thereof on his policies.

Good old-fashioned man-code jousting! Reminds me of a guy I knew once that did pull ups in the middle of a job site meeting. You should have seen the adoration; and it wasn’t coming from me!

I like you guys as well as the next person, but geez, get a grip! Have you learned nothing about bi-partisanship?  It’s a metaphor. I get it, but it’s got nothing to do with reaching women.

Or, maybe that’s the point of this boys will be boys behavior.  The whole election is a little too “girlie man”. Too much wallowing over women. Change the subject! Toughen up men!  The fight’s abrewin, and we don’t know where, we don’t know when, but you can smell it in the air!

Women, go do whatever it is you do.
