FINAL DIRT PUSH TAKES TOLL; CONCERN FOR MARIA'S HEALTH

A late barrage of negative reports directed at Arnold Schwarzenegger and his race to be governor of California are taking a toll on wife Maria Shriver, campaign insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

"She is rail thin and has been suffering bouts of light-headed dizziness... she refuses to address it," one source said on Saturday.

One reporter covering the campaign for a local Los Angeles TV station watched as Shriver appeared on the verge of fainting backstage at a recent event.

"Her physical condition needs immediate attention," the on-air reporter, who asked not to be named, told DRUDGE.

Photographs show Shriver stressed, yet maintaining grace under fire as accusations against her husband fly from nearly ever direction.

NEW YORK TIMES Op-Ed Queen Maureen Dowd is planning to title her upcoming Sunday column 'WIN ONE FOR THE GROPER.'

Dowd will write: "It was no surprise on Friday that Mr. S was backing off his promise to release those 'Springtime for Hitler' outtakes from George Butler's 1977 documentary "Pumping Iron." No dummy, he knew years ago his 'Nazi stuff' could be trouble. He bought up the incriminating evidence, 100 hours of histrionic interviews, for a mil, and worked with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, giving it a mil in guilt gilt."

London's DAILY MAIL on Saturday unloaded new shocking allegations by biographer Wendy Leigh, under the headline 'DARK SIDE OF ARNIE.'

The 4,000 word story makes this week's LOS ANGELES TIMES splash on Arnold's alleged womanizing look rated-G by comparison.

"I have spoken exclusively to a woman who was subjected to a terrifying assault by Arnold when they were working together on one of his films," Leigh writes.

Leigh does not name the woman, "as she still works in Hollywood and is petrified of repercussions."

"'I worked on a film with Arnold in the years after his marriage to Maria Shriver,' Leigh quotes the woman as saying. "'We were in the studio and he followed me into the women's toilets.

"'It was scary as he is such a big, tall man. He grabbed me from behind and picked me up off the ground -- I was airborne. He wanted to have sex with me. He said: 'Come on, let's do it. You know how much I want you. I want to feel your t**s and see if they are real.' He clamped his hand on one and wouldn't let go. He had his arms around me. I kept saying: 'No, no, no.' I was trying to get away from him, and he was trying to hold me."

The DAILY MAIL report was not to be made available online, publishing sources said.

Leigh, who wrote the 1990 book "Arnold: An Unauthorized Biography," raises publicly, for the first time, unsubstantiated claims that Arnold fathered a love child with an airline stewardess.

"'I haven't eaten or slept for two days since a reporter from the Los Angeles Times called at my door and asked me about it," the woman [named in the DAILY MAIL] tells Leigh. "'There is a picture out there and they say that my son looks like Arnold. But he looks like my husband. It is incredibly hurtful for people to be saying these things about my family.'"

Leigh, refusing to stand down, closes her story by adding: "On Monday, in the second part of this series, I will reveal the truth about his vicious contempt for the very fans who will be voting for him next week."

True. And he did not send a campaign staffer off the Coronado Bridge (or any other bridge) in the back seat of a '69 Oldsmobile. I can't vote for the man. His character (or lack thereof) gets in the way.

[Consort]

...Matt may have helped do some research on Arnold. He doesn't like him. Many of his headlines look like thay were written by Terry McCauliffe.

[AnnaZ]

You have a point, but the big difference is, Clinton did his womanizing while President of the United States, in the White House. Schwarzenegger has not, thus far.

Actually Clinton brought his pattern of womanizing into the White House. The leopard changed locations but kept the spots.

[lonestar]

I don't remember Dowd writing a column, "Win one for the Rapist" when Bill was running.

"'It was scary as he is such a big, tall man. He grabbed me from behind and picked me up off the ground -- I was airborne. He wanted to have sex with me. He said: 'Come on, let's do it. You know how much I want you. I want to feel your t**s and see if they are real.' He clamped his hand on one and wouldn't let go. He had his arms around me. I kept saying: 'No, no, no.' I was trying to get away from him, and he was trying to hold me."

Sounds like a middle aged fantasy from one of those cheap romance novels.

[Maelstrom]

Grunt, Check this guy out.

Crap like this, if true, is candidacy killing, if false, it's enough to push me closer to Arnold's camp.

(I still think he's a liberal though...)

[AnnaZ]

As I've said before, yeah "it's cool!" if Arnold's a "Republican" and cheers public servants from the sidelines. Just like it "kicks ass!" that Bruce Willis sings for the troops and'll pay cash for Saddam's noggin. They can grab butts and commit all the serial adultery they'd like whilst in the Hollywood milieu* (*where over 80% of poll participants contend that cheating is "inevitable")...

 

It doesn't mean that any of it belongs in positions of public trust. If one has not even a pretense of keeping a vow made to the mother of his children why would anyone buy a campaign promise from him? Were Willis running for public office I'd feel the same way.

 

Make movies, guys. Give props to the Prez. But don't use fans as a stairway to greater personal power. We had a leader that made higher office all about him and the nation still pays too heavy a price for it.

Very Sa Sinked post Anna.

Excellent comments.

Thanks.

I cannot spell succinct but that is what I meant.

[CARepubGal]

Well said.

[cajungirl]

Maria is thin and I feel sorry for her with this mud slinging. but women who are on tv stay rail thin to look good and I do think most of the Kennedy women her mother included are all rail thin. Rail thin is in in LA and New York. She does look like she is in hell right now.

[AnnaZ]

Hey, sweetie... sorry I didn't get back to my FReepmail yet, but you can listen to the interview online. (There's a link to the show in the email, I should be on at 7:30am... we taped it Wednesday. Be warned... it's KABC's "NPR" hour, LOL!)

 

xo!

[CARepubGal]

She looks worse now than she did before. Really sad to see that. She is more thin than the average "Social X ray" in NY or LA. Seeing the bones jutting out is not a healthy look. Someone feed that poor woman a Lasagna and Double Double with Fries and a shake! (In N Out Burger uberfattening special)

[68 grunt]

Make movies, guys.

This exact same advice was offered to Ronald Reagan.

[Catspaw]

I called it "TV-thin." Check out some of the anchors and reporters on cable TV. They have that same gaunt look, dress sizes in the low single digits. Put Ann Coulter on that list of "TV-thin." They look good on camera, but they're rail thin.

[BunnySlippers]

6 foot 3 inches. They did practically a whole program on this on MSNBC. Sheesh.

[BunnySlippers]

In fact, I once thought he was a shill for Larry Flynt. What better place to get dirt out.

[68 grunt]

I guess you mean Drudge. I'm really tired of his constant baggin'. The story I heard is that Drudge and the greek are very close, and have bonded in a unique way. His constant slime at Bush and now Arnie is not at the greek's behest, but rather Drudge does it to curry favor with her, and the because greek is undergoing unrequitted love, manifested by hate, so mattie boy is trying to replace him in her heart.

[AnnaZ]

This exact same advice was offered to Ronald Reagan.

Was he known around town as a philanderer and letch?

[Syncro]

"it's KABC's "NPR" hour, LOL!)"

Oh that dern "Nothing Personal, Republicans" hour...yea rite

LOL

I usually wake up at 4 or so, so I will click on the email link and listen.

Thanks kiddo

Maria looks like an abused wife. If only mentally. This is not a healthy picture.

I think you are reading WAY too much into a picture.

Are you ready to believe anything bad about Arnold, and promote evil ideas simply because you don't like his politics?

...rue the day... Gag - normal folks don't sound so pretentious.
