I also question the labeling of it as a "dirty" campaign trick.

Making unproven accusations or starting whispering campaigns based purely on speculation -- stuff like that is dirty campaign stuff. Or when some people tried to make an issue about the race of Phil Gramm's wife.

But what's so "dirty" about calling to everyone's attention an interview that Ahh-nald gave to a magazine? I mean, what did he expect when he started running?

What's dirty about it is the insinuation that he's unfit to serve as Governor. That somehow this makes him incapable of the job. It's using people's prejudices and emotions to get them to make a knee-jerk reaction, which, as a poster here recently pointed out, is defined as demagoguery.

Did I miss something? Is Schwarzenegger complaining?

I didn't think so.
