Governor Schwarzenegger has surely made the first state of the state speech
in which any governor used the term "duh."

It was used in the following way.  Some hapless prole was on his wife's
health insurance for years.  After a divorce, he found private health
insurance.  A few months later he started feeling tired, medics found he had
cancer.  The insurance company had noted that he had knee problems many
years before and had (understandably) written into his contract that they
would deny coverage if he experienced any significant change in weight.  The
contract didn't actually specify the direction of change.  

When he was diagnosed with cancer, they noted he had experienced a
significant change in weight.  Well duh!  That does happen when one has
cancer.  They denied, he died.
