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.
...
"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."
Would you turn down a mountain named after you?

Sorry, AP. I thought this was a sexual invitation. Never mind.

Arctic---What's the catch? That he go to the Georgian State? What kind of 'catch' is THAT? To me, a 'catch' would be that if Arnold would pay $100,000,000 for the naming rights....Now THAT would be a catch. The Green Bay Packers will rename their stadium if someone comes up with $100,000,000.:eek: So far, no takers.

Why would the ex-Soviet republic nation care to name a mountain over an Austrian-American? Why not name it after one of their own important citizens? I don't get it? Is this for real?!
