Girlie Man Bobblehead?!

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called Democrats "girlie men" during a recent budget battle. Now, a Democratic lobbyist wants to turn him into one in the form of a bobblehead doll in a hot pink dress and matching pumps!

The Governor first made the remark during California 's budget fight with the state's Democrat controlled legislature. The comment, which drew howls of protest from Democrats, echoed old Saturday Night Live television show skits about bodybuilders.

"If there is a perfect example of a girlie man, it's Arnold," lobbyist John Edgell said Thursday, adding that Schwarzenegger's jibe at Democrats and efforts to halt the sale of an earlier bobblehead doll both invited satire.

"I'm driving home the point to Schwarzenegger and his closest advisers that it's the American public's right to poke fun at politicians," Edgell said. "If they have a problem with that they can sue me."

Schwarzenegger's office declined to comment on plans for the new doll. His private lawyer was unavailable for comment.

Edgell designed and initially financed a bobblehead doll of Schwarzenegger in a business suit toting a rifle earlier on this year, as a satirical and political statement against his action films. Edgell described the movies as "mindlessly violent."

A company owned by Schwarzenegger sued to stop its distribution. A settlement allowed the sale of a bobblehead doll of the Hollywood icon without the weapon.

Edgell said he expects to begin distributing the frock-clad Schwarzenegger dolls in early October


Stunt Woman Terminated!

A former stuntwoman is dropping her appeal of a defamation case against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and a campaign aide to avoid paying $100,000 or more in legal fees, her attorney said.

Rhonda Miller wanted to appeal a Los Angeles County judge's dismissal of her case in July. But her attorney, Paul Hoffman, said she settled for a guarantee from Schwarzenegger that she won't have to pay the governor's legal costs.

Miller called a news conference a day before October's recall election to allege that Schwarzenegger groped her while the then-movie star was filming Terminator 2 and True Lies .

Schwarzenegger's campaign denied the allegations, and campaign aide Sean Walsh suggested in e-mails to journalists that Miller had a record of prostitution, theft and drug-related crimes.

However, the records were for a different woman of the same name, and Miller sued, alleging she had been defamed.

The lawsuit was dismissed in July when the judge ruled there was not enough evidence that Walsh deliberately misled reporters, or that Schwarzenegger knew about Walsh's e-mail. With the dismissal, Miller could have been forced to pay Schwarzenegger's legal costs that Hoffman estimated could top $100,000.

"She decided she didn't want to face that prospect, even though she felt the decision was terribly wrong," Hoffman told the Sacramento Bee.
