Schwarzenegger's Lost Year

The Austrian Oak is beaten by a bureaucracy he swore he'd change

Stutzman, who spent thousands of hours with the governor, says he “would not rule out a return to Hollywood.” For Arnold, he says, “Clint Eastwood is truly a hero ... who came up as a movie star playing violent caricatures, didn’t get any critical acclaim, had a career in politics, then came back and won Oscars — got acclaim from the industry for making great art.”

Another possibility is a run for L.A. mayor four years from now — a move that would massively disrupt any effort by Antonio Villaraigosa to anoint his own City Hall successor.

But all these moves are well in the future, and marveling at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career isn’t as fun as it used to be. Most Californians are too preoccupied with rising taxes and “fees,” uncontrolled spending, lousy services, and broken state politics to care about a superman who turned out to be a flash in the pan.
