LOS ANGELES - One of the comic ironies of the recall campaign is the way everyone decries the "media circus" while doing their best to create one.

And that while doing so they can be less than honest about their real agenda.

You could see this at yesterday's "Arnold is a Rapist" press conference.

It wasn't actually called that, but at times it felt like it should have been, even though the two organizations behind it - Codepink Women for Peace and MoveOn.Org - seem more concerned with stopping a Republican takeover of California than Arnold Schwarzenegger's alleged predilection for unwanted sexual advances.

The conference starred two women who said that they had been groped by candidate.

Their testimony was followed by liberal and leftist speakers, plus columnist and ex-candidate Arianna Huffington and the actress who plays "Abby" on TV's "Dharma and Greg (news - Y! TV)."

Apart from the testimony of the groping victims, both of whom were convincing, the most honest thing I heard came from film producer and Codepink activist Patricia Foulkrod.

She admitted that Bill Clinton (news - web sites)'s sexual peccadilloes were as inexcusable as Arnold's.

"The difference is that Clinton was so brilliant," she said.

"If Arnold was a brilliant pol and had this thing about inappropriate behavior, we'd figure a way of getting around it. I think it's to our detriment to go on too much about the groping. But it's our way in. This is really about the GOP trying to take California in 2004 and our trying to stop it."

Very nice. They're admitting they are polticizing sexual crimes.

As are the people in the Arnold camp who want to give him a free pass on it.

This burst of transparency probably will mark the end of Patricia Foulkrod's feminist career.

The difference is that Clinton was so brilliant," she said.

The NOW gang, thanks to Billy-boy, gave us the "one free grope" rule.

Something that will drive these people nuts:

The (R) that will follow Governor, starting Tuesday evening.
