Gov.’s Candid Moments Caught on Audiotape By Robert Salladay September 08, 2006 in print edition A-1

In the sanctuary of his Capitol office with an audio recorder rolling, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger describes Republican legislators as the “wild bunch” and, referring to a Latina lawmaker, casually says that “black blood” mixed with “Latino blood” equals “hot” – a fiery personality.

The governor is heard on a six-minute recording, obtained by The Times, of a meeting with some members of his inner circle last spring. At the time, Schwarzenegger was struggling to persuade Republican lawmakers to embrace his plan to place billions of dollars in borrowing on the November ballot.

It’s unclear why the session was taped, but Schwarzenegger occasionally records private meetings so that speechwriters, in particular, can keep a record of his thoughts and cadence. This audio recording mainly consists of relaxed banter among Schwarzenegger and a few aides, and it offers an unusually candid look at his administration when the doors are closed.

On the recording, Schwarzenegger’s Democratic chief of staff, Susan Kennedy, says Assembly Republican leader George Plescia of San Diego resembles a startled deer. That draws a chuckle from the Republican governor, who a moment earlier had referred to Plescia’s predecessor, Assemblyman Kevin McCarthy, as “Bakersfield boy.”

But Kennedy offers praise for Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia, the lone Latina Republican in the Legislature. The governor and Kennedy debate her ethnicity, and Schwarzenegger opines that whether she is Cuban or Puerto Rican doesn’t matter much.

FLASHBACK: LA Times had no problems releasing '06 tape of Gov. Arnold Schwartzenneger!!

This is an outrage and one I hope ALL of us stand up and fight LA Times about. In 2006 Drudge Reports that the same news outlet had no issue with releasing a candid tape of Gov. Schwartzenneger speaking in his office while he was struggling to persuade Republican lawmakers to embrace his plan to place billions of dollars in borrowing on the November ballot.

“At the time, Schwarzenegger was struggling to persuade Republican lawmakers to embrace his plan to place billions of dollars in borrowing on the November ballot.”

A bit off topic but my company received a check from the State of CA for nearly $1,000 from the Corporate Tax Fund. We have no idea why they’re sending us this money, we’ve never done business in the state.

It’s no wonder they’re bankrupt.

LA Times should be ashamed, but of course they’re not.
If anything, this should make peopel VERY scared to elect Obama. If the media is more interested in protecting a Obama instead of protecting the truth, then how can we trust them to tell us what Obama is doing when in the Whitehouse!

“It’s no wonder they’re bankrupt.”

Yep, that and the free spending Democrat legislature Gov. Arnold decided to tackle. With the influx of illegal immigrants receiving free health care, food, etc..this is what you get.

I’ll let the Gov’s RINO buddies come to his defense on this. He seems to like their company more than ours on the conservative side so let them carry his water on this (like that will happen...).
