Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to his alma mater turned into an exercise in perseverance when virtually his every word was accompanied by catcalls, howls and piercing whistles from the crowd.

Schwarzenegger's face appeared to redden during his 15-minute commencement address Tuesday to 600 graduates at Santa Monica College, but he ignored the shouting as he recalled his days as a student and, later, his work as a bodybuilder and actor.

"Always go all out and overcome your fears," he told the graduates. "Work, work, work. Study, study, study."

Inside the stadium, the drone from hundreds of rowdy protesters threatened to drown out the governor's voice at times. Many in the crowd erupted in boos when a police officer pulled down a banner criticizing the estimated $45 million cost of the November 8 special election that Schwarzenegger proposed Monday


edit to add photo of faculity holding protest sign - woo hoo!!

1. Why don't Californians recall him?

If Darrell Issa can fund a recall of Davis, why don't Democrats fund a recall of the Steroidinator?

What better time than now?

2. Good. I hope it becomes a fad to boo him. The way he sucked up to Bush

pissed me off.

3. AP Played Some Audio

It was loud...and rowdy. Not quite what the Gropinator was expecting.

Quite a turnaroud...I'll bet some in that crowd were flocking to his rock star rallies 18 months ago...and now see how bad he's messed up their state.

I hope the California Democrats take this opportunity not to form circular firing squads to go after this goon. First to embarass his ass into retirement in November and then restoring a Democratic governor next year.
