"Screw Arnold!"

WASHINGTON -- Everywhere Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger goes these days, there's a crowd. But they're not looking for his autograph....The core group consists of nurses upset about Schwarzenegger's attempt to scale back hospital staffing requirements and firefighters worried about pensions.

They're receiving support from out-of-state colleagues, who turned up at Schwarzenegger's East Coast events this week and heckled him fiercely."Screw Arnold!" local firefighters shouted from the street as the governor dined with donors Monday at the tony 21 Club in Manhattan.Schwarzenegger had ducked into the establishment through a service entrance to escape about 100 demonstrators; New York Gov. George Pataki had gone in the front door. But there was no sanctuary for Schwarzenegger inside.
