So chief Democratic spokesman Bob Mulholland was diving for the gutter this week in the hope of dirtying up the Terminator -- and trivializing Huffington -- before their candidacies take hold with voters. In a telephone call with Salon, Mulholland mocked Huffington's evolving political allegiances, riffed on Arnold's alleged penchant for groping women who aren't his wife, then took time to note that Schwarzenegger's father was a member of the Nazi Party during World War II.

"That stuff can be hard for any family," Mulholland said of the dirt he was dishing on Schwarzenegger. But he said it in a tone that suggested something less than heartfelt sympathy for the Schwarzenegger clan, and he didn't come close to apologizing. "Schwarzenegger has got to ask himself, 'Do I put myself in the election, take all the abuse and lose?'" Mulholland said. "I served in Vietnam, Gray Davis served in Vietnam, and we're not going to be replaced by somebody whose dad was in the Nazi army."

More from Mulholland...

Schwarzenegger has other vulnerabilities, including allegations of groping and womanizing. When he contemplated running for governor last year, a Davis strategist bombarded newsroom fax machines with articles detailing such claims -- and one of the same negative articles already has re-circulated.

Schwarzenegger denied the allegations at the time, and some of his co-stars came to his defense. During his appearance on the Leno show, he quickly sought to inoculate himself against such charges, saying he knew the attacks against him would include branding him as "a womanizer."

California Democratic Party spokesman Bob Mulholland said the party would be focusing on the first part of the ballot and trying to convince voters to vote no on the recall.

As for Schwarzenegger: "We'll leave most of it to the tabloids," Mulholland said.

He couldn't resist adding, "We don't need a governor who will sign an executive order ordering all women and state employees to wear dresses." Schwarzenegger was once quoted saying he wouldn't let his mother and wife wear pants when they're with him.

Um, I think he's already too late.

...and trivializing Huffington...

Trivializing Zsa Zsa? Isn't that a little like sullying Mike Tyson's good name?

LOL YES, you ARE!

" Mulholland said. "I served in Vietnam, Gray Davis served in Vietnam

WHICH SIDE?

Don't these boobs understand that by going after Arnold they are also going after the Kennedy family? How can they be such idiots?

.... Mulholland said. "I served in Vietnam, Gray Davis served in Vietnam, and we're not going to be replaced by somebody whose dad was in the Nazi army."

Wow. This guy Mulholland has a serious problem.

Now, if Arnold had been a member of the nazi party himself, then I'd say, he'd be in deep trouble. Since Arnold was born after WWII ended, I don't see the relevency involving Father Schwarzenegger dirty connection. This is the same tactic used against Republicans like Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott. All the while, the Democrat's have no problem with Senator Robert Byrd being a former member of the KKK, or with similar issues involving Ernest Hollings and Algore Sr.

...somebody whose dad was in the Nazi army.

I'm sure Davis and Mulholland never had an issue with General John M. Shalikashvili, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Clinton (1993–1997). The fact his father had served in a German army unit commanded by the Waffen SS didn't seem to affect his career.
