Feud of the Week
By Barbara Kiviat
FEUD OF THE WEEK
NAME: Warren Beatty, a.k.a. the sexiest man in Tinseltown over 65
OCCUPATION: Acting, fathering and trying to galvanize the left in a commencement speech at UC Berkeley.
BEST PUNCH: "Can't we accept that devotion to the building of body politic is more complex and more sensitive than devotion to bodybuilding?"
NAME: Arnold Schwarzenegger, a.k.a. the Gubernator of Cal-e-fornia
OCCUPATION: Trimming the budget, mocking girly men and galvanizing nurses against him
BEST PUNCH: Arnie's flacks surmised that the "crackpot" is "just mad at Republicans because he's afraid they're going to cut off his Social Security"
WINNER: Beatty gets props for rocking the boat, but Arnold's still Governor. So the match goes to Arnie. Unless, Warren, you're running?
