Mountain May Be Named for Schwarzenegger
Fri Oct 10, 3:00 PM ET
TBILISI, Georgia - Arnold Schwarzenegger, who scaled to the top of California politics, could now get a mountain named after him in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
But there's a catch: To receive the honor, the governor-elect must visit the country, a representative of President Eduard Shevardnadze said Friday.
Georgia, which borders Russia and Turkey, had extended the offer in the past to no avail but officials resurrected the Mount Schwarzenegger plan in honor of Tuesday's election.
Once again, it looks as if they'll be disappointed.
"I don't see it making the schedule in the near future," Schwarzenegger spokesman Rob Stutzman said of a possible trip to Georgia. "As gratifying as it is to have a mountain named after you, his whole attention is right here in California."
The mountain, in the Caucasus range, currently does not have a name; officials declined to disclose its size and precise location.
