Politics: Schwarzenegger endorses stem cell project

Proposition 71, the proposal to invest billions in embryonic stem cell research, has been ahead in state polls but not decisively, meaning Schwarzenegger's support could be significant, the Los Angeles Times said.

"First of all, I endorse Proposition 71," Schwarzenegger said. "Even though I haven't come out publicly, I have been very open about that I am very much interested in stem cell research and support it 100 percent."

Schwarzenegger consistently surprises me by not being an idiot.

In other news, his endorsement of Bush led to fourteen days of abstinence. Funny stuff.
