Some California legislators are angry with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
after he referred to them as "girlie-men" during a speech on Saturday.


Ah, but did he liken them to military aircraft? This newsgroup
isn'yt galled rec.men.girlie, in case you haven't noticed.


The phrase comes from an old television comedy routine where two
Schwarzengger-like bodybuilders use it to mock those who lack their
bulging muscles.


Were there any military aircraft in the comedy routine?


Several Democratic lawmakers say the remark was insulting to women and
homosexuals. State Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez said the comment was
"beneath the governor."


I don't suppose the speaker made any allusion to military aircraft,
by any chance?


But a Schwarzenegger spokesman says the comment was the governor's way of
saying that legislators are "wimps" (weaklings) by giving into special
interest groups.


Is there any military aviation content to this post at all?


Hot Air Convection flying....?
