"We're not girlie-men and we're going to pout until we get an apology"
I don't think the dems there can recover from such a humiliation. Arnold went over the heads of the dems and the media, and he gained the sympathy of the California voters, who will want nothing to do with weaklings such as the dems. The dems will find it hard to regain whatever respect they had prior to Arnold's insult against them.
FREEP THIS POLL: On RIGHT side of screen.

Last time I looked,, 80% said Arnold should NOT APOLOGIZE!
In my mind i think of backroom negotiations between Ahnold and a demorat consisting of a headlock and a girlie voice whimpering the word "uncle'.
It's a huge story because he attacked the Unions and the Trial Lawyers. The fact that the 'Rats and their poodles in the media reacted so strongly shows that he got to them.
Just wait until the convention. Ah-Nold will deliver a very powerful speech. Then they'll really scream!
To any Ah-nold haters out there, all I can say is that I'm glad he's on our side!
YUP. I wasn't for him winning the Governors seat, but at least he makes it fun. From out here in Texas, I just hope he'll campaign for Bush.
What gets me is they are more worried about what he's saying about them rather than obeying the law by having a budget in place on 7/1.
Norm, I'm going off here on "Burton"... Excuse me, John Burton! YOU as SAG did NOT do your job when it came to the issue of "gay marriages" in SF. Nor have you done your job in past matters on issues of which YOU personally disagreed. John Burton is indeed a Girlie Man Democrat. What would the oh-so-friendly John Burton say now with regard to all the gerrymandering he's DONE IN THE STATE OF CA for HOW MANY YEARS? (done shouting; thanks, Norm! ) :) Would he suggest the "java" made him do these certainly unethical things? And wasn't it John Burton recently heard in a coffeehouse LYING about what he told listeners in re "Arnold told me he's not running again"? And wasn't it supposed to have been a "private confidence" (if indeed Gov Arnold said this?). Who needs friends and bi-partisan friends in particular, like John Burton. (I wasn't done ranting. Sorry Norm)
So they react to it by throwing a girly-man hissy-fit tantrum?
Wow.
Now that's effective.....:)
The first thing I thought was, "give 'em hell Arnold". I'm glad Arnold said to vote these "girlie men" out of office.
This one begs for the New Seal of the Deomcratic Party!
I realize the people Schwarzeneggar called 'girlie men' didn't like it very much. Did they ever happen to deny it?
{At the GOP Convention}
Good evening, delegates. I am Ahnold Schwarzeneggar, Governor of Kaleeforniah...
And I am here to --- PAHMP YOU UP!
If someone called me a "girlie man", I would not consider it a homophobic remark UNLESS I WERE IN FACT A HOMOSEXUAL. What are these CA legislators telling us?
I think Arnold is the only one who could say, "OK, the state doesn't have a budget...I'm shutting the government down," and get away with it. That would be something!
Local TV news reported the "girlie man" remark over and over. Commentators said it was a "sexist and homophobic" remark.
(I want a bumper sticker)
79% no.
Could have been worse, he could have called them socialist girlie men. I prefer menstrual males myself.
