Digg wants you to ask the governor whatever you want.

Mr. Governator, you've just had a symbolic veto handed to you by California voters, can you tell us what your favorite restaurant is?

These are the type of glaring questions facing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who is set to take part in the Digg Dialog about 4 days, 20 hours, 15 minutes and 30 seconds from now.

The Digg Dialog allows users of the popular Bay Area-based social networking news aggregator site to ask the former body builder turned womanizer turned actor turned politician any question their heart desires.

"Digg Dialogg lets you submit your questions to notable leaders and luminaries," Digg says on its site. "Rather than editors or journalists, the Digg community decides the most popular questions to be posed in the interview."

And there are some real doozies already making their way forth.

"To many, part of your appeal is that you're an outsider to politics," one writer asks. "How do you deal with all the B.S. that a politician has to do to keep the government going?"

Another asks, "What's your favorite LA restaurant?" Maybe they are privy to Schwarzenegger's secret: he spends more time in Hollywood than Sacramento.

You have until Tuesday, May 26 at 12 p.m. to submit and "Digg up" the questions you want the governor to be asked.
