Arnold admits to "offensive conduct" (groping) and gets cheers

[blkgrl]

after issuing a phony apology. How stupid can his supporters be? And the women in the crowd....what are they THINKING?????

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Where and when?

[blkgrl]

6. CNN

They're replaying the clip now. He calls it "behaving badly" and being "playful." Says he didn't realize it was offensive. Wasn't he like 30+ when doing these movies? Who DOESN'T realize at that age that groping is wrong? Sorry for my bitterness.

[Brian Sweat]

20. If he didn't realize it was offensive,

that pretty much shows that he is not qualified to be Governor.

Does anyone see the irony here? They are recalling a Governor even though there are no real grounds for the recall and they are going to replace him a a Governor who comes with grounds included.

[glarius]

21. Watch for the words "rowdy Hollywood set" to be repeated ad nauseum

Arnold used this phrase to explain why he was a little wild...I've heard other right wingers refer to it with this phrase...Apparently they've decided that's going to be the explanation....disgusting

[Brian Sweat]

26. Watch for the words "sexual assault" to be repeated ad nauseum.

[SWPAdem]

30. Not only that

Who wouldn't think that being manhandled by someone of his size wouldn't be intimidating?

[monobrau]

2. "playful"

First he called it lies, then he admits it's true.
Tries to blame it on "Rowdy movie sets".
Gotta hand it to him - he's a born republican.
Born in Austria to a Nazi father, that is.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. Hmmm The Rowdy movie sets made him do it

That's personal responsibility for you

[monobrau]

3. San Diego, 5 minutes ago

-NT

[realFedUp]

4. You need to give us more info

Link, station, time etc.

[cally]

7. Didn't his spokesperson just deny the story?

So they lied. :eyes:

[soleft]

11. welcome to bizarro land

they have to be afraid if he denies this others will start coming out of the wordwork. Or they believe if Clinton had not denied the Lewinsky affair on camera the story would have gone away.

[seaglass]

8. It's a news alert on the NY Times page. No link to the

story yet.

"NEWS ALERT
Schwarzenegger Admits Sexual Harassment Allegations and Apologizes (12:35 PM ET) "

[Brian Sweat]

27. Doesn't grabbing a woman's breast constitute sexual assault?

[Governor Davis]

9. He plans to govern by ballot proposition if Democrats don't cooperate

This means that if he wishes to slash workers rights, he will put it on the ballot and the California Manufacturers Association will pay millions to entice workers to give up their own rights.

If he wants to make California a RIGHT TO WORK state, he will put it on the ballot and the American Enterprise Institute will pat millions to sell workers on giving up their right to collective bargaining.

If he wants to sexually harass women, he will put it on the ballot and fundamentalists will pay millions promoting the fact that women were made to submit to men.

[bloom]

10. "gets cheers"

What the hell kind of family values do they have, anyway?

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[blkgrl]

14. The cheers were very LOUD and obnoxious too

You'd almost think they were paid to be that way. Hmmmm LOL

[Clete]

12. Yes, but Candy Crowley and

the other CNN spokeswoman aren't giving him a free pass on this. Although they are sort of following a script, their facial expressions and tones of voice are registering disgust.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

13. Sorry, Arnie....

Having spent time on more rowdy movie and video sets that I think he has, I never ONCE got groped, propositioned in a vulgar tone, or sexually harrassed in any manner.

Arnie, you are a dog. (I know, that's an insult to dogs.)

Maria, you are one stupid lady.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

15. Sorry for the dupe...

eom

[Snellius]

16. But wait, Arnie. This is all just a Davis political trick, you said

Here's his statement:

'THOSE PEOPLE I HAVE OFFENDED, I AM DEEPLY SORRY, I APOLOGIZE. I WANT TO PROVE TO THE WOMEN I WILL BE A CHAMPION TO THE WOMEN'

In other words:

'THOSE PEOPLE I HAVE OFFENDED (These bitches really loved it. They're just women. So touchy and emotional), I AM DEEPLY SORRY (that they opened their bitch mouths and that I got caught), I APOLOGIZE (Wink. Wink. Nudge. Nudge). I WANT TO PROVE TO THE WOMEN I WILL BE A CHAMPION TO THE WOMEN (I don't really know what "champion to the women" means but it makes me sound like I'm a gentleman)'

[Governor Davis]

17. He will champion their breasts and underparts

Sharon is very offended by this. She assured me she won't be voting for him. 1 down, 35,999,999 to go. :D

[Kanola]

18. Ashamed to be living in California

These idiots for Robot are dumber than stumps!! They are cheering for him because he sexually harassed women? WTF?! The DEMs need to start looking at legal ways to indict him for this. This is past adultery.

[cally]

19. Please call the local TV stations

and tell them to not minimize this. They were explicit on the Clinton charges and now they are trying to be polite and say inappropriate touching. Women voters need to hear exactly what he did not a sanitized version.

[realFedUp]

22. Do you have a listing of the stations and their numbers?

If you have it, please post it. Thanks.

[Capn Sunshine]

23. This is classic

all yesterday all over the media was Arnolds various advisors, saying " Gray Davis is about to smear us"

Because they were contacted by the Times who was running with the story.

"Ve muss sdop de trash politics"

Boy good thing that he's a republican, so the rules don't apply

If he was a dem they would have broken into the soap operas with a
"special bulletin---candidate admits to sexual mmisconduct"

[zbdent]

24. Gee, didn't there used to be some flak a while back about

some politician getting a bunch of people to lie for him, and then admitting it later after he was found out, and that there was a call for him to step down?

Damn, can't remember his name, it was right there a second ago.

Awww, man, I wish I could remember, I thought it was somebody important, but I guess that, since he was a Dem, and the media is so fu--ing liberal, it just got squashed and went away. Never mentioned again by extreme churchgoers anywhere who want to save their tax dollars when they buy their new mercedes.

[CMT]

25. sure this will somehow be spun in his favor

by the media. If he wins the female vote on Tuesday I will really have to wonder about the women of California. and no it is not like Clinton, he had a concentual relationship with a woman. He didn't force himself on her.

[maveric]

28. But Clintons blowjob was a million times worse!

Republicans can do the same things and shamelessly admit to them with no repercussions from the media or the voters.

I cant beleive that people in the crowd, even many women, giggled when he spoke of his sexual molesting ways.

People are morons and CA is lost!

I may move back to Boston.

Fuck Arnold and all those who support the square headed, sexually perverse, son of a nazi!

[nolabels]

29. Picture of Arnie when he played stunt double on Green Acres

&pz=0

[cally]

31. The women are not thinking!

They are dazed by the hollywood star. Pathetic
