Draw Your Own Conclusions

At a news conference last week at which firefighters may have been compelled to stand around as props, the Goobernator said, "I'm a big friend of the firefighters. As a matter of fact, in one of my movies, I played a firefighter." Yes, in one of his movies, he played a firefighter. How Reaganesque. In real life, however, his policies haven't shown him to be a big friend of firefighters, or any other public employees.

On the other hand, in another of his movies, he more famously played a cold, heartless, mechanized assassin, so some of his role choices may reflect his politics and sympathies.
