Shriver Tells Oprah She Wants Her Husband Back Home
By Robert Salladay, Times Staff Writer


SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California First Lady Maria Shriver said Friday that she would prefer that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger not run for president.

"I want him back home, actually," Shriver said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" when asked about the possibility of Schwarzenegger's running for the top office if the U.S. Constitution allowed it.

Shriver and Schwarzenegger will celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary April 26. The governor spends three or four days a week in Sacramento, where his campaign rents a suite at the Hyatt Hotel, while Shriver and their four children live in Los Angeles' Brentwood district....

***

Shriver's comments raised questions about whether she is encouraging her husband not to seek re-election in 2006. The Republican governor already has opened an account to raise money for a re-election campaign, but he does not have to formally decide for several months....

***

On "Oprah," Shriver said Schwarzenegger is obsessed with the laundry and making sure clothes and shoes are put away. She said he has called from the Capitol to make sure the children had finished their laundry, and that he would hide clothes or throw them in the fireplace if they were not put away when he returned....

1. Good God! What an asshole!

I would not report that if I were maria..too embarrassing(the laundry thing)..Sounds like a bunch of pigs..apologies to pigs everywhere!

P.S. Also sounds like he treats his kids like he's trying to treat the People of California.

[dflprincess]

8. My Mom and I both wondered what kind of abuse he heaps on the kids

that Maria isn't talking about in public. I thought the daughter she had with her did not look like a child that's very happy.

[shanti]

15. you mean this one?

[Scairp]

49. Sounds like Ahhnold has serious control issues

Big surprise, eh?

[BlueIris]

67. Steroid abusers aren't known to be the best parents. n/t

[BlueIris]

68. I seriously feel for all you CA Democrats.

In OR, at least we've got a governor who has his head on straight. Is he gettng anywhere? Some would say not. I would say it hasn't gotten all that much worse on his watch, either. And he's a good man, but he's not a miracle worker. You crazy kids in Cali? I just look at all these posts and I want to cry for you.

[Technowitch]

2. Maria? Suggestion!

Withhold sex! That'll get his attention!

Er... unless those steroids over the years do as they're rumored to...

[0007]

29. ....tis probably so small he has to squat to pee from all his steroids

[NYC]

3. Would that be the Hyatt Hotel that he has not yet paid for?

...The governor spends three or four days a week in Sacramento, where his campaign rents a suite at the Hyatt Hotel, while Shriver and their four children live in Los Angeles' Brentwood district...

There's a thread around here somewhere. Within the last 3 or 4 days.

[PartyPooper]

4. Mods, please move this thread to the Lounge!

We certainly don't want the Schwarzenegger's "dirty laundry" aired in LBN. God forbid!. ;-)

:D

:hi:

[maveric]

23. Oh dont be such a Party Pooper! Oops!

[ncteechur]

5. I assume she knows that he cannot run for president.

Although Orrin Hatch seems to be in favor of it, I don't think thei ammendment will ever even reach the House floor and I don't think it would get 2/3 states.

[cosmicdot]

10. and, that would have been the intelligent response

but, no, she responds as if it's a viable thing ...

I wish they both would go home.

As a life-long Democrat, it almost killed me to see Sargent and Eunice Shriver on stage with the Gropinator ...

just a Kennedy marrying this goon I thought was a sign of the apocalypse :)

[DrZeeLit]

34. Wellllll....my dem friends in CA thought he couldn't possibly win ...

...election, either -- or so they counter when I say he couldn't possibly get an amendment passed.

Thank goodness the polls look like people in CA are catching onto his schtick. What a mess! The sooner he's a faint memory, the better.

That whole pension thing scared me -- I'm a native CA girl who moved to VT and my 25 years of teaching/pension was hanging in the wind -- according to a letter I received. Whew! I think he's finally slowed down the crap due to his slips.

I hope he steps on his tongue and breaks his political back.

[cyr330]

6. Tough Shit, Maria

She actively campaigned for him, and she also had the gall to show up at the Republican convention. She's an asshole. I don't give a rat's ass if she's a part of the Kennedy clan. She's a dumb bitch.

[anarchy1999]

7. This is a joke, right?

"On "Oprah," Shriver said Schwarzenegger is obsessed with the laundry and making sure clothes and shoes are put away. She said he has called from the Capitol to make sure the children had finished their laundry, and that he would hide clothes or throw them in the fireplace if they were not put away when he returned...."

Did the kids do their laundry? Hide or throw them in the fireplace?

What a goon. What a neandrethal (Sp?) POS!

Yeah, R'Wingers, Arnie is all we need to right this nation. Oh boy. I'm ill, and we're in deep #$@&.

(are we being regulated yet, is it still okay to say the above bad word, or do I need to bleep it?)

Hell, I just went ahead and bleeped it first, but do I have to?

[high density]

11. Shriver also said that he will go around unscrewing light bulbs

if somebody leaves the lights on in a room that they aren't occupying because he's so worried about wasting energy. (By the way, how many Humvees does he own?)

[anarchy1999]

16. One word. NutJOB!

Is this what is coming at us instead of DeLAY?

I need the smiley for frozen in fear. I just don't want to go look for it.

on edit:

Maria, you need help, seriously. You need help. Go home.

[ebayfool]

24. They both told these 'heartwarming' family stories during the recall ...

the repubs took them to show that 'Arnawld' was fiscally responsible (see, he teaches his kids to listen & turn out the lights) & that they may be rich/famous but they are 'just common folk' teaching their kids to do their own laundry.

Dickweed is just a common everyday control freak, if you ask me.

After getting a look at this, I seriously don't see why Maria would want him home more - homeboy ain't all he thinks he is! LOL

[rodeodance]

27. post-steroid body looks

[rodeodance]

28. his breast body hair is grey

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

56. do you see the face?

his belly button is the mouth, that thing popping out of his diaphragm is the nose and his man-boobs are the eyes with the hair as eyebrows.

[ebayfool]

66. I didn't see it till you pointed it out, LOL

You have a very twisted eye - old man eyebrows at that!

[gumby]

9. The groundwork for:

Ahnee can't run for Gropenator or anything else.... because he needs to spend more time with his family... and make sure their laundry is done.

[Cha]

13. LOL!

[LordshipLadyship]

12. okay

To me, that's child abuse, plain and simple.:mad: He should reward good behaviour, not punish bad behavior. Good, I hope this adds to his falling polls. I can't stand him. God knows what he does to maria. (or Goddess, etc etc I'm a equal opportunity person :) )

[zalinda]

14. I want him home

with Maria, too.........to stay!!!!!!!!

zalinda

[ngGale]

17. Good girl, we all want him back home with you...n/t

[Daphne08]

18. "...She said he has called from the Capitol

to make sure the children had finished their laundry..."

Gak!

[not fooled]

19. YIKES!

The laundry thing: can you say CONTROL FREAK???

And yeah, Maria, on behalf of the badly abused voters of California, let me assure you that anyone with a functioning brain cell around here also wants your dumbfuck hubby back home.

[Piperay]

20. Take him home Maria

and keep him there, we want him out of Sacramento! :mad:

[onager]

21. Well, I live in L.A. and

we don't want the asshat back.

Maybe we can compromise. When he's the ex-governor, let's take up a collection to build him a retirement home in Barstow. Or maybe Hemet.

[Scairp]

51. Nah

I think he would be happier in Blythe.

[nolabels]

70. Does he like resorts? They have one for sale he might like :v)

http://www.deathvalley.com/4sale/slide1.html

[Piperay]

57. Hehe

sounds like a plan. :thumbsup:

[Maat]

59. Hey ... I live near Hemet!

Better .... the entire family moving back to Kenne..something...port.

[saskatoon]

61. Marie

She has to be nuttier than a fruitcake to stay with that asshole. If my husband had reated my kids that way I would have wanted to kill him.

[MisterP]

22. he's going to have a hissy fit, bellowing "I AM AHNULD, HEER ME GHOAH!"

and swinging the podium. Later, Maria meets her old friend Mr. Wall and Mrs. Linoleum.

[evolvenow]

25. TOTAL RECALL! Wouldn't that be poetic, Arnie gets recalled, and CA actuall

y gets the person we elected! We were robbed, flipping robber barons bankrupted our energy, recalled Davis, and INSTALLED the gropinator with OP-Scan machines, and added the DNA prop, which allows sampling of anyone, for no reason, as a little orwellian bonus! No way CA voted that one in.

Arnie was quoted as saying that he dreams of being a dictator. OY VEY!

Recall Arnie, or hey, just go home.

[zann725]

26. If they're separated that much, sure hope he's not grope-enating any

staffers in the Sac (Sacramento, that is).

Some habits are hard to kick.

[Gin]

31. Call him Mrs. Schwartz-fire!.... I can see him in an apron doing the

laundry.....dressed as a woman....with pantyhose/breasts and sensible shoe.HA!

[SoCalDem]

30. I am in favor of that too

:)

[deacon2]

64. That really looks like the Thorazine Shuffle

Could be the angle, but the prez appears to be pharmoed and slumpy.

[onehandle]

32. No problem.

We may elect nazi-like Presidents, but not Actual Nazis.

The Gropenfurer can go back to Austria. Where he was born, Maria.

Born, as in stop talking about this cause it ain't gonna happen.

[UTUSN]

33. Aw, Gee, Maria, How Cute. *I* Wish Here Were Home, Too---in Austria n/t

[oneighty]

35. Oprah

A suggestion. Have a military wife on your show once a week begging to have her husband home from the Iraq war. Perhaps you do?

It would be cool but I bet you would lose advertisers and viewers.

180

PS: I have never watched your show. I thought you did a good job in 'The Color Purple'. Too bad you are not like that in real life.

[Zorra]

36. Sounds like Arnie is the stereotypical anal OC petty tyrant conservative.

On "Oprah," Shriver said Schwarzenegger is obsessed with the laundry and making sure clothes and shoes are put away. She said he has called from the Capitol to make sure the children had finished their laundry, and that he would hide clothes or throw them in the fireplace if they were not put away when he returned....

What a pathetic douchebag! The guy is a nut!

The Governor of California is a freaking weirdo and I would not let him within a mile of me or my children.

[fortyfeetunder]

37. Maria got what she asked for

She was out campaigning for this SOB, I mean her husband, and now she regrets the lifestyle she campaigned before?

No mo sympathy for Maria, not that I had any for her before.

[funnymanpants]

38. translation: Arold looking for a way out

This is just a guess, but I think Arnold may be having second thoughts about running for a second term. Hence, he starts laying out the groundwork for a reason to not run again.

On the people who call Arnold a Nazi: will you please put things in perspective? I loathe the way Arnold got elected, and I hate a lot of the things he stands for, but a Nazi?

[Ernesto]

39. Shriver wants Schwarzenegger "back home"

LOS ANGELES (AP) - California First Lady Maria Shriver said Friday that having her husband serving as governor was hard on their family and that she would prefer to see Arnold Schwarzenegger "back home" instead of run for president.
Asked what she thought about the possibility of her Austria-born husband seeking the U.S. presidency if the Constitution were amended to allow it, for example, Shriver was unequivocal.

"I want him back home, actually," she said.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

40. Hope she knows that is where we want him, too. n/t

[fortyfeetunder]

41. Oh but she could aspire to be like Aunt Jackie

She might reconsider that once Arnold "sells" her on the idea.

[phusion]

43. The constitution ain't changin' so fast, honey!

[Liberal Veteran]

44. I want him back home also....in Austria!

I really don't like him.

[Javaman]

45. To me, it sounds like she didn't realize that gropenegger...

is a baffoon until now.

[watercolors]

46. I hope she gets her wish

Maybe alot of californiains might think the same at the end of his term!

[Mugweed]

50. Headline: Skeletor Misses He-Man

NT

[Jilly Beans]

52. TRAITOR! She gets no sympathy from me.

She put her ass on the stage with the jerk when he was campaigning, sending the subtle message that a bedrock democratic family supported him.

Believe me, spoiled princess, we want him back home with you. And it won't be long until you get your wish.

Traitor!

[indepat]

53. Would be be impolite to suggest Arnauld take a hike to his home country?

[leesa]

54. We would prefer that too Maria. How about his home in Austria?

Ya know, Maria, he is not a VIABLE candidate for dog-catcher, much less Prez.

What a whore for the GOP.

[olddad56]

55. Arnold's a girlie Nazi, Hitler would have throw the kids in the fireplace.

[TommyO]

58. So do we, Maria!

I'm sure that the voters in California can arrange that for you next year. I know that all of my friends in the state will be working to send him home.

[LizW]

60. There's something wrong with him

My mother called to tell me about the story Maria told about Arnold burning the children's clothes in the fireplace. She thought it was funny, but my sweet mom's never been in an abusive relationship and she doesn't recognize how sick that is.

Destroying another's property, especially clothing, and especially by a method as violent as shredding or burning, is incredibly threatening and aggressive.

Arnold's obsession with "laundry" is clearly really an obsession with control and intimidation.

What a freaking sicko.

[demgrrrll]

62. I agree and Maria must be pissed at him about something or she

wouldn't be airing this particular batch of dirty laundry. Not that you couldn't probably click off a list of reasons to be pissed at that goofball.
While I don't necessarily feel that she is the worlds largest brain trust I do think that on some level she must know that story makes him look like an asshole.

[K8-EEE]

63. I Want Him Home _- I WANT HIM OUT OF OFFICE

Throw the clothes in the fireplace? What an asshole...

[deacon2]

65. As for the Gropenator

I don't care where he goes as long as he leaves Sacramento. He has managed to make Jesse Ventura look like a statesman in contrast to his whiny, governance through intimidation schtick. I share a cultural heritage with Ahnuld (Okay, I'm mostly German, not Austrian, but who are we kidding here?) so I'll just say: you can take the jackboots off the Austrian, but you can't jack off the Austrian boots... wait, that didn't come out right!

[earth mom]

69. I can't believe Maria hasn't divorced him yet!

He's shown his true colors by going after teachers and nurses-all women should be OUTRAGED by that! Including Maria AND Oprah! :grr:

[Flammable Materials]

71. "Daddy Dearest" n/t

[Indykatie]

72. Maria Be Patient

He'll be home soon although not soonest for Californians. A lot of people regret voting him in office and I'm sure won't make that mistake second time around.
