million dollar losses
How amazing it is that each night this week the evening news has been devoted to the $1 million homes burning in southern California! Last night 50% of the news was devoted to it! Nobody’s really died, but there’s such a sense of heartbreaking tragedy surrounding the whole debacle!
“It’s the most difficult test of Governor Schwartz’s leadership,” Charlie Gibson reported. Then they zoom in on The Terminator, and a woman reporter is trying to really pin him down on accusations of irresponsibility. He grabs the microphone out of her hand, grabs her arm, and says like The Terminator, ” “Trust me when I tell you — you are looking for mistakes and you won’t find it,” he said. “It’s good news. Trust me.” She shrinks back in terror as he’s about to crush her, or so it seems. Really, this actually happened live, on-camera!
Only in California would you have The Terminator win a governor’s race.
“Vote for me or I’ll crush your arm,” was his campaign motto.
“Trust me when I tell you..”
As the camera goes back to Charlie Gibson, he’s got a weepy multi-millionare family there bemoaning the loss of their estate through the fire.
“I took a year off work to fix up the landscaping of this place,” the millionare homeowner said, shaking his head sadly at the smoldering ruins of his estate. His wife is in tears. “And now look at it… it seems like such a waste of time…”
DUH!
LUKE AT AGE 50
Then a shocker: “Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, Olivia Newton John are among the victims! Even “the homes of Sean Penn, James Cameron and Cindy Crawford” are threatened!
“Our money! Oh, our blessed money! Watch it burn!” That’s Hollywood for you.
