That's almost exactly what Arnold said for a few years before he entered. Except Arnold is much more entertaining in an interview such as this. Even up to the day before Arnold entered the race for governor of calyforneeah, he proclaimed loudly and humorously on the Tonight Show that he wouldn't enter, and then he came back and said, surprise surprise, he is entering. History, people, history. And this is one of Jon's favorite people.

His whole interview was canned, pure and simple. There can be no debate about that. And when the host tried to ask even goofy minutia of Jon in the final segment, Jon was withdrawn and pretty quiet. And they were just silly questions. He was either deathly deathly deathly sick, or posturing. You can be the judge yourself. Personally, he reminded me of a cleaner, more political version of a Jonny Depp interview, and that is sad (I wonder if he will move to France...). Or maybe it is the pale face work that has been done.

I think it is great that he does all of this humanitarian stuff--raising money and what-not, but if he's doing just to get into office, it becomes an annoyance.

I wouldn't vote for Jon (or any other actor) unless it was between him or Gray Davis and I don't really care if he does enter politics so long as he sends off his band with a bang and not a whimper.

Lastly, I was speaking more about the meaning and aura of the entire interview than just one quote. With that being said, it was a political talk show and I already KNOW I am blowing out of proportion (it is just a banal interview in a sea of profoundly banal inerviews), but that is the foundation of SATIRICAL criticism.

Humor people! Laugh a little! It'll do ya good! It was just a damn interview! I will forget it by next week, and I hope you do too.
