I moonlight in the department of redundancy department as my second job. Thanks, AM

[eureka!]

Sure it's political. So are the charges. So he was a bad boy in a sex-charged environment. He's matured. He'll make a fine governor...

[BurbankKarl]

this just in....

groupies claimed members of 1980s hair bands groped them...

film at 11

The last charge was in 2000.

This is such a yawn. These stories have been in the public domain for decades. As I told my husband, if Arnold tried to pat my butt, I'd let him as I am sure these "accusers" did.

[ffusco]

I don't think so. His admission of innapropriate behavior mitigates the accustaion without admitting any crime.

[Reagan Man]

I consider myself a fair minded conservative American and am willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt. For sometime now, Arnie has flip-flpped on his remarks concerning his questionable behavior in past years. By doing so Arnie has left many people wondering what's the truth and what's been lied about. We now see that some of the reports about Arnie through the years are true. Arnie has even admitted to his bad behavior. This doesn't look good. Arnie might come out later and flip-flp again, but for the present time, this admission makes him look bad in the eyes of many folks. Many of the Arnoldnauts will give him the customary pass and spew endless excuses. So be it.

Hate to say it, but this looks very Clintonesque.

Oh, thanks.

Now that our moment of mutual kindness is over, let's go back to killing each other.

Arnold is a human being. He isn't perfect. However, he didn't lie, and I deeply appreciate that.

So far as we can, let us judge not that we be not judged.

[Sabertooth]

Look at it this way... The Rush and Arnold stories take the spotlight away from the CIA "leak" story...

That's not exactly a silver lining, since the CIA story has the least credibility.

Wilson's an admitted liar, that story is going nowhere.

Except for the fathers of those daughters that had Arnolds hands up their shirts. No Problem for some. I guess if someone throws out life long convictions and supports a Liberal there is not too much that can upset them. Sexual harrassment is only for Democrats, I guess. Then Arnold was just a child, 35?

[NittanyLion]

I'm willing to bet that any hanky panky or whatever, went both ways. Unfortunately, many women today give as good as they get and give a lot of mixed messages.

I'm sure you said the same about Bill Clinton's escapades...

[ffusco]

It's highly unlikely that a true social conservative would stand a chance in California. They seem to want to live in an overly taxed utopian police state.

[BurbankKarl]

This guy will never be governor...I guess another twenty years in T.O.

>>To hell with McClintock and his supporters.

"Oh, Lord, thank you that I am a Pharasee, and not one of those lowly sinners."

[ladyinred]

Are we living in Bizarro world today or what?

I was just thinking this a few minutes ago. I feel as though we are in the Twilight Zone or something. Rush, Bush, Arnold, Wilson, good grief. A feeding frenzy from the left like I have NEVER seen before.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Ping!

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Look....I know all of you nutjobs can't wait to jump on any tidbit that pops up and this is a virtual feast for you. But let's be honest....if that's possible for you.

I believe that Arnold said his behavior was sometimes bad and he thought at the time it was playful (or something along that wording). He then said he realized that it may have been offensive and apologized to anyone he may have offended.

IF you were realistic and grounded, you would realize that there are many possible scenarios here. Assuming the worst is what a lot of people do. In fact, you are joined in company with Bob Mulholland, who is already calling it crime (on FNC). You must be proud.

I'm sure the hard core feminists are jumping for joy too. After all, they think a man complimenting a woman is sexual harassment.

You and I have no idea what Arnold supposedly did. Unless and until a woman wants to step up in public and give a credible account that convinces me he is some kind of sexually harassing brute, I'll remain skeptical.

You and your hateful bunch are in your glory, aren't you? Life must be one big misery after another in your world. Weird.......very weird.

[Afronaut]

10/4 I get it. I also now think I was out of line to post it.

[eureka!]

Whatever. Lots of "charges" are made. I'm surprised they weren't worse. Just be sure to vote "yes" on the recall, and props 53 and 54...

[green iguana]

"Now the question remains...

Was that the last shoe to drop?"

On a different thread, you stated how you knew some dirt on Arnold that was true and that you wouldn't talk about unless it came out. From the above comment, it sounds like this was not it. Am I correct?
