They are referring to the California Governator, who was driving everywhere in some variety of Hummer, probably the Humvee you are referring to. I think Arnold was making a political statement... after he watched "Who Killed the Electric Car". [/b]

Schwarzenegger drove an H1. It was the civilian version of the military HMMWV. The H1 was outrageously expensive, got even more outrageously bad fuel mileage, and was discontinued after they only sold 374 H1s in MY2006. Because of all the bad publicity surrounding the negative environmental impact of the vehicle, Schwarzenegger stopped driving his not long after he became governor of California. I don't know if he still owns it or not.

As of less than a year ago, he owned four of them:

For the record: Schwarzenegger still has four Hummers. That's three registered in California, and one registered in Idaho. And that doesn't count the much-touted hydrogen Hummer, the one which has been made more environmentally friendly; Schwarzenegger doesn't own it -- General Motors does.

But as governor of California, Schwarzenegger has engaged in a savvy makeover, befitting a Hollywood star. He retooled one of his four Hummers to run on alternative fuels and is quickly fashioning himself into one of the most aggressively pro-environment governors in a state known for leading the nation on that issue.
