Hey – isn't that my friend John Howard?

Is it just me who finds the idea of our Prime Minister travelling across the world to meet the Terminator a little strange?

An article at news.com.au says:

PRIME Minister John Howard will meet California governor and former movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger today.

On the first leg of his whirlwind trip through the United States, Britain and France, Mr Howard will meet the man best known for his role as the Terminator to discuss a possible Australian gas deal.

It’s all a little surreal if you ask me.

  • I heard a quip, forgot where from, about how maybe John Howard would be meeting with Arnie to discuss appearing in the sequel to twins.

  • I heard that one too. I heard it from Arthur Muhl on Sonshine Fm but I don’t know if it was an original or if he picked it up from somewhere else. It was very funny.

  • Very surreal indeed. It’s hard to believe that this man who is famed for his accent and his physique is now responsible for running the business of arguably the most infamous state in the US. Although not hard to believe why people want to meet him… some people will do anything for autographs. 🙂
