Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger fills in a pothole himself

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: You have to do it yourself. I mean, this is crazy. For three weeks, I've been waiting for this hole to be closed.

FADEL: If he runs for office again, his slogan can be, come with me if you want to live on smoother streets. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
