Keith Dalton, recreation writer for the Daily Telegraph, argues in a satirical piece that the U.S. should appoint Rodney Dangerfield as co chairman of a presidential fitness council, outlining a tongue in cheek plan to promote dieting, public weigh ins, and a voluntary 30 plus fitness program. The piece contrasts Dangerfield's self deprecating humor with Schwarzenegger's fame while critiquing national health costs and policy.
