    “This week, I introduce to you my financial advisor, Warren Buffett. For fun, we are going to introduce advisors named Warren every week. Next week, it will be my script, ooops, speech writer, Warren Beatty, which should be interesting. Week after that, it will be my musical slogan advisor, Warren Zevon. And then, the next week, Jennifer Warren will get together with Bill Medley to sing ‘(I’ve Had)The Time Of My Life’ just because I love that song, don’t you? We’ll have other surprises. And soon, with them, I’ll be back.”

    Warren, if you tell another reporter taxes are too low you’re terminated.

    Warren: “Alright, Arnie, tell me again what your political agenda is?”

    Arnold: “To destroy my enemies, raze their villages, and hear the lamentations of their women.”

    Warren: “Works for me. I’m onboard.”

    Paul,

    An aside to your aside. If you look at how the fabric folds and lays on him, combined with the sheen, it is likely to be a silk-blend blazer (good for summer heat). I would bet that Arnie’s suit is less expensive as it looks like a higher wool blend.

    “Didn’t I tell you they’d go nuts about the push-ups?! Next time, I’ll have Georgie run laps around the motorcade!”

    (Incidentally, James, Schwarzenegger’s New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilders contains a very similar photo, in which Schwarzenegger apparently tells a joke to a nearby bodybuilding opponent, who subsequently laughed so hard that he failed to strike an appropriate pose, costing him victory. It’s under the section “Psychological Warfare.” I wrote about this tactic in the San Francisco Chronicle a few weeks back.
