Shocker! False Story in Brit Rag

The Mirror newspaper in England reports that Schwarzenegger has given up his fleet of Hummers. Of course, this is the same newspaper with the headline today: "We're All Praying for You, Hamster" and "I've Had Five Babies in 10 Months."

The story is apparently based on a comment former Vice President Al Gore made Thursday in New York at the Clinton Global Initiative summit. The Mirror writes, "Gore mentioned the garage clear-out at a speech in New York. He said: 'Arnie has given up his Hummers.' "

Schwarzenegger still owns four gas-guzzling Hummers, but his main form of transportation is chauffeured California Highway Patrol SUVs. The family car is a Mercedes G-wagon.

Schwarzenegger signs global warming legislation next week.
