The ad, which follows allegations in Thursday's Los Angeles Times that the gubernatorial candidate groped women, was conceived and produced in 12 hours by the independent political ad shop and consultancy Zimmerman & Markman, Santa Monica, Calif. The spot shows disconsolate women and quotes an article from the July 11 Entertainment Weekly about Schwarzenegger's promotion of Terminator 3.

"We use the quote in which Schwarzenegger talks about how much fun it was to grab a woman, turn her upside down and bury her face in a toilet bowl," said Bill Zimmerman, who produced the spot with partner and creative director Pacy Markman. Paul Dektor, son of commercial director Leslie Dektor, directed the spot.

"In this business, there are no [story]boards," Zimmerman said. "It didn't come together until the night before last, but we finished it in time to make the morning news...."

Wow, it just came together for them.

I love the smell of burning money in the morning. Effect of ad: zero.

Keep on spreading the hate, MoveOn. It just makes us all the more gleeful when you LOSE.

This is such shoddy reporting.

The reporter gives us one person's description of the quote, how the quote is being used and what Arnold's distracters think of the quote....

.... But they don't give us the quote. It must not be as bad as they say or they would print it.

Ah, yes. The group whose very name derives from its founding purpose, namely to urge Congress not to IMPEACH Clinton for his perjury and obstruction-of-justice about sexual affairs, but rather to "Censure and Move On" instead.

Hypocrites. Back then, it was "move on"; sexual dalliances AND perjury and obstruction of justice related thereto were NOT to be grounds for disqualification from high office. NOW, apparently, far lesser sexual conduct, with NO lying under oath or obstruction of justice, it IS grounds for such disqualification.

I am on MoveOn.org's mailing list for the express purpose of getting a slight jump on their forthcoming lies. The ad is just a condensation of the email: half-truths and lies.

For example: they (in the email; dunno about the ad) quote Arnold's comment about how, at first, when one sees a hot-bodied blonde, one may assume she's an idiot, and sometimes that turns out to be the case ... AND THEY STOPPED THERE. The very next thing he says is that, usually it ISN'T true, and that people must beware of following their superficial, appearance-based stereotypes. It's actually a very feminist comment. This partial quote is a lie, for all practical purposes. I wish I had such "testimony" in a court for cross-examination purposes: any jury that saw how they've selectively quoted him would never trust them again.

The toilet bowl comment, in context (or, frankly, even out), is obviously a lighthearted joke. It needn't even have been about a woman. Plus, MoveOn left out another part of the quote, in which Arnold says what is obvious to anyone who's seen the movie: It's not a woman. It's a machine made to look like a woman to fool its victims. Sorta like Arianna.

Lies, lies, lies.

How many ads does that $500k buy give you, anyway?

I know they're local, but those are horribly expensive markets. Aren't we talking about the $50-$100k per ad and therefore only one or two views per market?

Don't they remember the advertising research that says you have to see an ad 7 times before it will actually affect your decisionmaking?

What a waste of money.

Thanks for the ping. I honestly believe Arnold is going to win this thing handily. I don't have the sense that the smears are working. If anything, I think a lot of people are more angry at the Dems because of them. Only a few days to go, so we shall soon see.

It is good to see that the neocommie traitors and lying, sleazy democrats have finally learned the it is disgraceful for a high political official to engage in the filth and corruption that leads him to believe that he can molest and rape women just because of his office.

Of course, had they learned this lesson earlier, PanderAl Gore would have replaced Willie in 1998 and would probably still be president today. So, it can be argued, Bush is preisdent today because these jerks took so long to learn this lesson. Oh, wait, Arnold wasn't a politician.

Just heard the ad on WABC radio and the announcer conveniently did NOT mention the name of the organization paying for the ad.

The ad...was conceived and produced in 12 hours by the independent political ad shop and consultancy Zimmerman & Markman

I love it when stuff is inadvertently funny like this. You know, some shlub at work works like a dog for 6 hours on a project that shouldtake much longer, and he takes a strange pride in doing it 'in only 6 hours' and everyone this thinking 'it really shows, Einstein.'

In this case, they shouldn't boast about whipping up this commercial in 12 hours. ;-)

MoveOn.org, which claims a membership of 1.6 million members, ... describes itself as committed to "democracy issues." Zimmerman said his shop is "engaged in a long-term campaign with MoveOn to defeat George W. Bush in 2004."

Wasn't MoveOn.org just a bunch of thoughtful and nonpartisan concerned citizens who wanted us to just get past all the Clinton scandals and 'move on?' You would think when the Clinton scandals ended, they would have just moved on. Looks like they didn't!
