19. Didn't Eastwood suffer some kind of retribution from CA GOP...
...from Arnold specifically after the recall?

As I recall, Eastwood wanted "to produce some anti-recall ads during the recall"* fiasco, and Arnold "punished" him after wards by meddling in Eastwood's role as California parks and recreation commissioner?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Clint Eastwood, the hard-charging star of such cinematic hits as "Dirty Harry," "Magnum Force" and "Unforgiven," received a new role last week - California parks and recreation commissioner.

California Gov. Gray Davis appointed Eastwood to the nine-member commission, citing the film star's record as a "longtime advocate for environmental issues."

I thought I'd read that Arnold was thinking about or trying to slash its budget, and the motive wasn't entirely for economic reasons.
