This is pathetic:

Schwarzenegger's main campaign event of the day — an early evening news conference in San Francisco — was interrupted by the entrance of comedian Dana Carvey, who attended at the invitation of the actor's campaign.

Carvey, who was dwarfed by the bodybuilder candidate, is known for a "Saturday Night Live" sketch from the 1980s in which he played Hans, part of a bodybuilding team of Hans and Franz, who worshipped Schwarzenegger.

As Schwarzenegger lambasted Davis for recent criticisms that the actor was inexperienced, Carvey bounced into a Fairmont Hotel room jammed with press and declared in an Austrian accent to the audible groans of reporters: "He's 10% body fat, but 40% in the polls."

Carvey's appearance effectively ended Schwarzenegger's first question-and-answer session in five days.


Is his whole term as governor going to be a vaudeville act like this?
