And ruining her own kids" lives in the process...

[driftdiver]

Wonder how many boyfriends she had.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I bet Maria wanted the reason for the divorce to be out in the open, and wanted to be the “good guy”, and get public sympathy. She didn’t want to leave Arnold for no apparent reason. She wanted the world to know the situation. She wanted him to pay, at least in the court of public opinion, for what he did.

There kids are older and will get through this.

Awnowd's behavior was beyond sleazy. All those years of banging the housekeeper in their house. Reminds me of the line from the Godfather:

"IN MY HOME! IN MY BEDROOM WHERE MY WIFE SLEEPS! Where my children come and play with their toys. In my home."

[Vermont Lt]

Arnolds behavior seemingly did not surprise anyone in Southern CA. It wouldn’t surprise folks who had followed Arnold in his pre-Pumping Iron lifestyle.

His kids would have been pretty inoculated being kids of Hollywood and Hyannis.

None of this is very interesting.

Maria should be more like Jacqueline.

And adopt the more nuanced French approach to these things as evidenced by the French media coverage of the DSK affair.

[Buckeye McFrog]

with a philandering sperminator on one side and a backstabbing media leech on the other, this was truly a marriage made in h-e-double hockey sticks.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The true horror being the propensity of the electorate to keep placing this type of trash in public office.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Sad. I read way back when Jackie O was working as a book editor in NYC that she had a stint reviewing the Pumping Iron manuscript, and she introduced Maria to Arnold.

[bigbob]

I think she should do an “answer song”:

Looks like Maria is trying to not pay Arnold any alimony. LOL

[Uncle Miltie]

"Ja, you are all my childrens!"

[fish hawk]

Jokes going around about Arnold finally now IS a Kennedy. But Rush said he is not a true Kennedy or he would have drowned the maid. LOL

I have a hard time understanding how liberal women still feel so hurt and “hysterical” when their husbands cheat on them.

With what they “preach” about sex, what, in their mind, is the big deal? And what else should they expect?

Wasn’t it liberals who started the mantra that marriage was “just a piece of paper”? That shacking up and being promiscuous was okay? That no one is “hurt” by sexual sluttiness?

Yet, it still hurts. Doesn’t it.

I mentioned this before and got no replies but I think that one of the subplots to this story is the complete and total ignorance of the Drudge Report as to any byline or link since the story broke. Maybe Matt has a personal relationship with Ahnold?

“And ruining her own kids” lives in the process.”

I’d say it was Sch. who ruined the lives.

Why should she be complicit? Why should they wonder forever why their mother left their father?

And ruining her own kids" lives in the process...

Excuse me? Arnold did the cheating and the pollinating, but SHE ruined the kids' lives by not helping him hide it?

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Good thing for the kids he wasn’t into father-daughter incest. Maria might have blown the whistle on that and ruined their lives! Right?

[freekitty]

That’s not news. Wonder what else she has done?

Schwarzenegger was the one who set this whole thing in motion. These things always have a way of coming out. He was the one who set about harming his children, including the one who now knows that the father he thought was his wasn’t, and the father who is his didn’t claim him.

This would have come out when Schwarzenegger passes away, if not before, if for no other reason than the maid isn’t so stupid as to throw herself at a rich man, get herself pregnant, then fail to cash in when the time is right.

Shriver didn’t have a child out of wedlock.
Schwarzenegger did.
He’s the one who did a long list of wrong things.
He’s the one who lavished his family’s money on this woman.
He’s the one who set up the circumstances that would eventually blow up in everyone’s faces.

From personal experience I can attest to the fact that what really bothers children is being lied to repeatedly (directly or by omission) by people who knew something, but who didn’t say anything.

Telling the truth, even if it is distressing, is not the wrong thing.

Back in 2003, when the recall election was going on, I told my friends not to vote for the recall but to also vote for Tom McClintock. The recall was a bad precedent. But if we were to recall Gray Davis, we needed a decent man in there. That decent man was McClintock. If we had elected him, in all probability California would not be in the mess we are in now. Or at the least the mess would have been smaller. But we (California electorate) wanted a movie star and that's what we got.

It was (or should have been) obvious that Schwartezegger was an unqualified jerk. In the debate he came off as an ignorant clown. He was completely snookered by the radical environmentalists and signed a bunch of stupid legislation that he should have vetoed.

So now the big buffoon is reaping what he sowed. But California will have to pay for the mistakes this clown made. Californians deserve it.

As far as Shriver is concerned, she was pretty naive not to know what type of guy Arnold was. The rumors were always out there and with the resources of her family, I'm surprised she could not have confirmed these rumors. Hell everyone in Hollywood knew what type of creep this guy was. Maria Shriver is not an uneducated woman. She went to the finest schools in the country. She was surrounded by rich and smart people her whole life. How could she marry a steroid inflated body builder? Life is sometimes stranger than fiction.
