'Miss Alaska is beating Mr. Universe'

CA Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's presidential aspirations keep butting up against that pesky Constitutional thingie (otherwise known as Article Two, Clause 5, of the United States Constitution) which says the commander in chief must be a natural-born citizen.

So, just imagine how The Terminator feels about the chance that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will make it to the White House before him.

This bit of gubernatorial insight comes from LA Times blogger Veronique de Turenne at LA Now. It's attributed to Schwarzenegger:
"When McCain picked Sarah Palin, I called her and said 'You see that’s what is wrong with the Constitution,' " Schwarzenegger said. " 'Miss Alaska is beating Mr. Universe and can run for vice president or become president. There’s something off here'."

"She didn’t think it was so funny," he added.
