Schwarzenegger Becoming Unpopular
Arnie is having a tough time in California these days. One night, just as he hits the TV screens to rally support for his ballot initiatives, he is preempted by Michael Jackson. Now, he's being booed in his own alma mater. The AP's Michael R. Blood reports.
Politics followed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to his alma mater Tuesday, where he was jeered relentlessly by protesters while delivering a commencement speech.Rough times for the Governator.
His address to 600 graduates in blue robes and caps at Santa Monica College turned into an exercise in perseverance, as virtually his every word was accompanied by catcalls, howls and whistles from the audience of several thousand people.
Schwarzenegger's face appeared to redden during the 15-minute speech, but he ignored the shouting while recalling his days as a student in the early 1970s and, later, his work as a bodybuilder and actor.
