The Euro's hate the death penalty and they hate us for loving it. So when Austrian-born California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to grant clemency to convicted murderer Stanley "Tookie" Williams, many in the old country threw a fit.

Austria's Green Party suggested Arnold be stripped of his Austrian citizenship. Officials in his hometown of Graz have threatened to remove Arnold's name from their stadium and rechristen it after Tookie. The idea is scheduled for a January 19th vote, along with a proposal to request Schwarzenegger return his "ring of honor" -- equivalent to a "key to the city."

Arnold's response? Shove it!

As for the ring, "(It's) already in the mail," the Governor wrote in a letter to city officials. "(T)his ring has lost its meaning and value to me."

Schwarzenegger also told his hometown to not only go ahead and remove his name from the stadium, but that they can no longer use his name at all for any purposes.

"I expect the lettering to be removed by the end of 2005," wrote Schwarzenegger, "and in the future, the use of my name to advertise or promote the city of Graz in any way is no longer allowed."

He told them that as governor, clemency matters are likely to come up again and he'd rather spare the poor dears any further concern.

Get the idea Arnie's pissed? Take that, girlie men!
