Gloria Allred may be doing Meg Whitman a favor with her ridiculous stunt accusing Meg Whitman of knowingly employing an illegal alien housekeeper. The story is so full of holes that it is transparently bogus, and will serve to discredit not just Allred and the housekeeper, but possibly Jerry Brown, California's Attorney General. Hugh Hewitt, law professor, writer, and talk show host, had Gloria Allred on his radio program yesterday, and probed some of the major weaknesses in the case, and wrote about it on Townhall. First, he sums up the charges: Turns out that Whitman had hired a housekeeper...

Meg Whitman easily bested Jerry Brown in a debate over the future of California on Tuesday night. So California Democrats had to hope that one of their reliable warhorses would saddle up and do some damage to Whitman with some kind of smear that diverted attention from the knock-down that brown suffered. Lawyer Gloria Allred turned up, right on schedule, with a headline grabbing, allegation-hurling press conference about the misdeeds of Whitman. Turns out that Whitman had hired a housekeeper a few years back, after being provided all the necessary documents. Whitman was very serious about complying with the law...

July 3, 2004 Judge Dismisses Libel Case Against Governor By Greg Krikorian, Times Staff Writer A Los Angeles judge late Friday dismissed a libel suit brought against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his campaign by a former stuntwoman who leveled election eve charges last fall that he had twice assaulted her. In an 11-page opinion, Superior Court Judge Robert L. Hess ruled that Rhonda Miller's decision to hold a news conference to level her accusations put her in the role of a limited public figure. Therefore, Hess said, Miller's attorneys had to offer "clear and convincing" evidence that Schwarzenegger and others...

Schwarzenegger Won't Be Deposed in Defamation Suit Tue Mar 23,11:43 AM ET By Gina Keating LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lawyers for a woman who accuses California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) of sexually assaulting her and then implying she was a prostitute were barred on Monday from personally questioning the "Terminator" actor in the woman's defamation lawsuit. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Hess ruled that lawyers for movie stuntwoman Rhonda Miller can submit written questions to the governor asking what he knew about Miller and whether he had a policy for responding to allegations of sexual misconduct...

<p>Tamee Smith said she carefully weighed the potential impact on her husband's film career before saying publicly last fall that Arnold Schwarzenegger grabbed her breast in a movie producer's office nearly two decades ago.</p> <p>Linnea Harwell said she ultimately decided it was her duty to tell California voters before the Oct. 7 recall election that he made unwanted sexual advances toward her in 1998. She said she believed she owed it to women whose movie industry jobs prevented them from doing so.</p>

<p>Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign aides say they believed that a woman suing him for defamation really was a prostitute and drug addict when they suggested to reporters that she had a history of felony convictions, court documents in the case show.</p>

Woman Who Made Groping Allegations Sues Schwarzenegger A woman who accused Arnold Schwarzenegger of sexual harassment has now filed a defamation lawsuit against him. The suit claims Schwarzenegger's staff planted a false rumor that she was a convicted felon. In the final days of the campaign for governor, Rhonda Miller went public with an allegation that Schwarzenegger groped her during the time she worked as a stuntwoman on the films "True Lies" and "Terminator 2." Almost immediately, the media began reporting that Miller had been convicted of several serious crimes. The information on Miller was distributed by the Schwarzenegger...

Schwarzenegger Changes Mind About Probe Into Groping Allegations In an about-face, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said there will not be a private investigation into groping allegations made against him. That announcement came the same day Hollywood stuntwoman Rhonda Miller filed a lawsuit against Schwarzenegger and a member of his campaign staff for defamation. During the final days of his campaign for governor, Schwarzenegger said he would hire a private investigator to look into accusations that he groped as many as 16 women over the past three decades. According to aides, Schwarzenegger now feels he is too busy trying to solve...

DECEMBER 8--A Los Angeles woman who came forward during the California gubernatorial campaign to accuse Arnold Schwarzenegger of previous instances of sexual harassment today sued the Hollywood star, claiming that he, an aide, and his campaign smeared her as a convicted felon when she made her charges. In the below Los Angeles Superior Court complaint, former stuntwoman Rhonda Miller charges that the Schwarzenegger camp told reporters that she had an extensive rap sheet, a dirty trick meant to discount her credibility when it came to the harassment charges. Miller claims that the Schwarzenegger smear began an hour after she made...

"We need to change our party's image," said California Republican leaders, explaining their early enthusiasm for Arnold Schwarzenegger. If Schwarzenegger wins today, they will certainly get their wish. The face of the California Republican Party will become that of a Hollywood groper. In the final days of the recall, Republican leaders became exactly what they opposed during the Clinton years: excuse-making, shoot-the-messenger shills for a law-breaking libertine. For the sake of one cheap win, Republicans embraced a Clintonian charmer credibly accused of groping up to 15 women (at last count). Where is the honor in this victory? Where even is...

HUNTINGTON BEACH/SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - California's tumultuous recall election entered its final hours on Monday as actor Arnold Schwarzenegger brushed off sexual misconduct charges in a final sprint for the governor's mansion and Gov. Gray Davis battled to save his job. When the polls open on Tuesday morning, Californians will decide whether to oust Davis, an unpopular Democrat famous for his lack of charisma and dedication to fund-raising, then pick from an assortment of 135 replacement candidates. What began as a Republican-led protest vote over Davis' handling of the state's economy and recent energy crisis has become a referendum on...

John and Ken are making good use of the 50,000 watts they are given from Mon-Fri on KFI in Los Angeles. Gloria Allred and her client Rhonda Miller have been outed for the second consecutive day. We heard the story yesterday that Miller, the woman who accused the next California governor of lifting up her shirt and snapping a picture of her boobs during filming of a movie, actually has been shown to be a liar about the event. Two witnesses came forward yesterday, one of whom actually took the picture of the willing Miller. Arnold was not even in...

John and Ken were just reading a press release (haven't been able to find it online yet) from the Schwarzenegger camp about stuntwoman Rhonda Miller's accusations that Schwarzenegger pulled up her shirt and photographed her breasts, later pinning the picture to the trailer ceiling, and leaning back in his chair making comments about it. Schwarzenegger denies that the incident ever happened, saying that there were many photographs on the trailer ceiling and theat he would make crude comments when new ones were added, but that he did not take Miller's nor was he present in the trailer when it was...
