Arnulds ex girlfriend to spill more beans
Schwarzenegger's First Girlfriend Pens Memoir
Mon Sep 8, 7:38 PM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo!


By Adam Tanner

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - At a time of growing questions about Arnold Schwarzenegger (news)'s early years in the United States, his first girlfriend is seeking to publish a memoir on their relationship, her agent said on Monday.

Barbara Outland Baker, today an English professor at a California community college, met the then Mr. Universe in 1969 and became his first real girlfriend until they split up in 1974. Her book is titled "Surviving Arnold."

"I'm trying to sell it as an insider's account of Mr. Schwarzenegger's early years," said book agent Paul Levine. "She's been writing it for years, but obviously now is an opportune time to try to sell it."

"There are lots of insights and never-before-told things about Arnold and there are over 100 never-before published photographs of Arnold during that time."

17. if you took all the girls
If you took all the girls I knew
when I was single

and put them all together
for just one night

Ya know they'd never match
my sweet imagination

and everything looks worse
in black & white

5. If we don't care where Clinton's penis went, Arnold's shouldn't matter
either. I think that we'd be better off sticking to the high ground here. What are Arnold's POLITICAL qualifications? None. What governing experience does he bring to the table? None. What fresh new ideas does he have to solve California's problems? None.

If we dwell on his personal life, we're no better than the Republicans who went after Clinton for something that had NOTHING to do with his abilities as President.

6. We tried that already, remember?
What are Bush*s POLITICAL qualifications? None.

What governing experience does he bring to the table? None.

What fresh new ideas does he have to solve America's problems? None.

11. I agree .... to a degree ....
IF it were simply a matter of consesual sex between adults, then yes: ... PERSONAL information that has no bearing ....

But Arnold is a Republican, whose party does NOT appreciate 'moral relativism' .... the question is not what WE think, but whether his base will expose their own hypocrisy regarding 'personal sexual proclivities' ....

Furthermore: .. there is some evidence that Arnold actually 'sexed up' a 16 year old girl: ..... this cannot be consensual if it occurred in CA, because minors cannot give consent here ....

That would be statutory rape, .... a subject area certainly available to us in rhetorical attacks against the Arnold campaign ....

16. Curiously enough, a Boston Herald Right Wing commentator agrees with you.
Oh yes, we lefties should always seek the high ground, ceding the
swamp to the Republicans, right?

Bzzzt!

Wrong!

19. Yes, but Arnold's penis defines him
Can anyone say anything that Arnold has done - one thing - that is GOOD or that would suggest that he is a decent person with integrity?

Clinton? The list is long. Very long. Very impressive.

I think intelligent Californians have already figured out the Arnold isn't the guy we want in the Governor's office.

13. Looks like Ms. Outland Baker has already penned
a book from which our current Resident in Chief could benefit:

15. In reality, isn't this just
Edited on Tue Sep-09-03 05:16 PM by cheryl_d
a shakedown of the Republican party and/or Ah-nuld?

Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you.

But the election is next month. What are the chances that the book can be written AND in the marketplace before that? Since it looks like Ah-nuld probably will be going down (no pun intended), there will be virtually no market for the book.

Ms. Outland Baker is hoping to capitalize on her former status as Ah-nuld's "first" (yeah, we believe THAT one!) girlfriend by shaking down the Rethug party and her former flame...in the true spirit of American capitalism! How's THAT for entrepreneurship?!

18. The real value
of a book like this is to point out that the Repub and VRWC attack on Clinton was political and not "moral highground". They are hypocrites and embracing someone who is at least as morally questionable as Clinton was, points this out.

Use it to destroy the Repub/fundie base.
