Blaming "personal attacks", money-losing movie director Rob "Meathead" Reiner has stepped down from California's preschool commission:

I'm sure he is using these initiatives to build a base, mostly of teachers' unions and their dollars, in the hopes that one day he will (shudder) run for governor. Governor Meathhead anyone?
