Beatty says he could do better than Schwarzenegger

Body politics Warren Beatty says he isn't ruling out running for Governor of California, and thinks he could do a better job than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"I don't think anyone should ever rule public service out," he said. Beatty, who has been involved in politics for years, played a senator in the 1998 movie Bulworth and entertained the idea of running for the presidency six years ago.

Beatty, 68, said the former action star should not denigrate fellow politicians by mocking them as "girlie men," as Schwarzenegger did of Democratic lawmakers last summer.

"Can't we accept that devotion to the building of the body politic is more complex and a little more sensitive than devotion to body building?" Beatty asked.
