Schwarzenegger press conference: did anything happen?

Our intrepid reporter, Robert Hong, attended a last-minute press conference today where Gov. Schwarzenegger addressed local officials in Burbank. Both the Pasadena officials invited to attend, ultimately canceled, I suspect because they thought the event was a meaningless photo opportunity.

Hong attended, and said the governor took few questions, and largely spent his time blaming state legislators for not passing a budget.

In fact, Hong said, that of the four questions Arnold answered, one of them was on what he thought of Sarah Palin's speech. This was asked by a TV reporter. Robert said, in fact, he was the only print reporter that was there, which would probably explain the quality of the questions.

Robert is currently struggling to figure out what exactly the story of the event is.

UPDATE: Supervisor Michael Antonovich, who really wants the public to know he was photographed with Gov. Schwarzenegger today, just send out the picture in a press release. Also pictured, as most will observe, is Sheriff Lee Baca.
