Did These Firefighters Truly Stand by the Gov.?
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-me-lopez05oct05,1,4324347.column?coll=la-headlines-politics

So what was really going on last week when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger held a news conference flanked by roughly 20 firefighters fresh off the front lines of raging wildfires?

Was it a love-in, as the governor's media corps suggests?

Or were firefighters forced to stand next to Schwarzenegger, like props, in a staged photo-op designed to boost his sagging support?


my money is on staged photo-op!

1. Sounds like they didn't. I can't believe Schwarzenegger said he is...
a big friend of the firefighters and "as a matter of fact I played a firefighter in a movie". This guy thinks being governor of California is playing a role in a movie. How did he EVER get voted in. What were the people of California thinking.

Firefighters were complaining that they were forced to participate. Kindergarten Governor's office denied it.
