London’s Mayor Takes On Arnold Schwarzenegger, Verbally!

When Arnold Schwarzenegger put his largest muscle, his mouth, to work on insulting London’s Mayor, Boris Johnson, he clearly underestimated just how articulate and verbally challenging the Mayor could be.
Last year Arnie spoke at the Labour Party conference and was heard referring to Boris’s speaking in a derogative manor, whispering something about Mr Johnson’ “fumbling”.
Getting mad was not on Boris’s agenda, but getting even definitely was!

So this year when the Mayor rose to make his speech at the conference he recalled last year’s insult and made a very concise reference to it saying, “Thank you very much for that welcome. “Much more generous than in 2006 when I was physically pelted with pork pies by the press corps or last year when my speaking style was criticised by Arnold Schwarzenegger. And it was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg. But I can say now to Arnie that in spite of all his doubts and though there was a great deal of suspense until the final reel, Ken Livingstone was terminated.”
His mention of former London Mayor Livingstone, referred to Boris’s elimination of him as the long running Mayor of London.
