Nothing like starting out the day with a good death penalty joke.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared Tuesday at a conference on alternative energy in Irvine co-hosted by the University of California, Irvine, the Milken Institute and New Majority California, a group of wealthy moderate Republicans who have donated to the governor.
Schwarzenegger explained how he is trying to bring Democrats and Republicans together.
"So this is why to make sure of that I proposed something entirely new, which is to have a solar-powered electric chair," Schwarzenegger said, provoking laughter. "There's something in there for both parties so everyone can be happy. See, this is how I get things together."
The Republican governor followed up with an old joke about why he doesn't understand it when other people say it's difficult to resolve partisan differences. "I don't know what you're talking about. I sleep with a Democrat every night, so, I mean, I know exactly how you bring people together."
Be sure to catch Schwarzenegger's next act Wednesday when he unveils his revised May budget. No two-drink minimum required.
