"I have never labeled myself as a politician, so I am not going to run for anything else," Schwarzenegger told reporters in Milan on Tuesday.

4. Thank you. Now I do not feel as crazy for thinking that.

"Never" in political speak has a short shelf life, and Ahhhnold has a massive ego.

5. Thank God! He's been called the worst governor ever in California and

we've had some duzys like Ronald Reagan and Pete Wilson.
