Chust say no to draaags


In bizarre homage to Hunter Thompson in the week of his passing (or possibly just a drown-his-sorrows reaction to his plummeting poll numbers ) the Governor of California has a bad drug experience on the highway outside Vegas.

As his attorney, I advise him to slow down.

From ContactMusic.com (source qualification: I've never heard of these people before):
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has vowed to be more cautious about nicotine gum in the future, after a batch given to him by pal TOM ARNOLD left him hallucinating while driving.

Arnold recently ditched his cigar habit - which saw him smoking up to a dozen a day - and now chews NICORETTE to keep himself away from the rolled tobacco. But when he gave some to pal and cigar smoker Schwarzenegger it almost prompted a road accident.

Arnold says, "He wanted a cigar but he had to drive a semi cause he was in Vegas... so I said, 'Hey, here's some Nicorette. Try this.'

"But I should've said, 'Take one.' He took six 'cause it's like gum and it tastes good. And so he called me (saying), 'You bastard! I'm hallucinating! I'm driving down the highway!'"


Can't stop here — it's bat country — but as more reputable sources pick this up, I will update.

UPDATE (11:20 am): The Governor's press office says that they won't comment on the story unless a specific date is mentioned.
UPDATE (11:21 am): The Sun version of the story indicates that this is based on Tom Arnold's recent interview with Conan O'Brien.

That's my last word on the subject until somebody credible picks it up.
