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."

Arnie and Maria are both in the Kennedy Family. This sexual crap couldn't possibly phase either one of them. Evn if Arnie drove a car off the Golden Gate bridge with a naked female campaign supporter in it and she drowned, it wouldn't keep him out of office.

[deport]

but I rarely go there now.

Drudge is nothing more than a gossip for the items he does get some info on otherwise his site is nothing more than links to and within the media... You can get the same type stories from many other sources such as google news, yahoo news, several blogs, etc. He's just one among many today...

[Howlin]

They tend to call people names like "Ethiopian Refugee."

;-)

[Held_to_Ransom]

SHe does look scrawny a bit, but so does my ancient cat, and he's still doing just fine.

Dems are just really pissed she's a Republican. If she ever debated W, it wouldn't be pretty. She's just about as smooth on her feet as JFK was.

Just curious...... Why should it?

[John Beresford Tipton]

Her looks make my skin crawl.
Same for Coulter.

[AnnaZ]

The same people that blew off demonized Clinton's womaninzing are now demonizing blowing off Schwarzenegger for the very same alleged acts. When will the hypocrisy ever end?

[I_Love_My_Husband]

You know I wonder if she suffers from anorexia when under stress? The way she looks (very thin) plus the "light headedness" may indicate that she's not eating. She may be so stressed that she's not eating!

Arnie, make her eat some pasta!!!

[Yardstick]

You're right -- he's got it out for Arnold. Drudge gets on these obsessive little kicks every now and then.

[Held_to_Ransom]

One might presume that in order to drive a car off a bridge, one might actually be driving under the influence. This is real crime and not just a traffic violation. Some think Teddy wann't drunk when he did it. bit if he was and they had checked his blood levels in a timely fashion, it would have changed the history of the Democratic Party.

Then again, Teddy has never been able to run for higher office, because at some point, even the gullible public draws a line. I believe Arnie is probably an insufferable egotist, but until they find a woman who filed a valid and timely complaint against him, it's going to go down in history as bad manners. All the stories I have seen given by them so far stink of frameup, whatever the intial source of their dislike of Arnold may have been.

As for admiring Hitler, my own opinion is that there hasn't been a politician since Hitler who wasn't jeolous of his abilities.

[CaptainK]

Funny how these women don't want to give their names in regard to Schwarzenegger yet women were screaming their names from the mountain tops with Clinton and the media yawned.

[deport]

Yep one might assume..... and ifa, coulda, woulda.....

I was just curious as to your thought process regarding the statement....

What's with the Hitler stuff?

[metalboy]

I love this column by that ultimate b-i-t-c-h Maureen O`Dowd that he says she is going to write. "Win one for the groper". Just curious if Ms. Dowdy even wrote that about her boy Bubba, but I guess when it comes to rape, as long as the rape is done by a Demon-rat, it will always be less serious than 'groping'done by a guy who says he`s a Republican. This Oh-Dowd can go straight to hell for all I`m concerned for what she wrote after 911 on NYC firemen, and I quote; "Those men who we women wouldn`t give the time of day to in the past now looked mildly interesting." Yes, all hail to you Queen O`Dowd that they should give their lives solely so you may find them 'mildly interesting' whilst you sit upon your Queen bitch of the Universe throne. My big middle finger to you sister.

[L.N. Smithee]

That really sucks. The poor woman just wants to be left alone and these bloodsuckers are going after her just to get a 'story' and apparently a false one at that.

As a person with a long-standing reputation as a "Clinton-Hater," I say: Tell that to the mother of Danny Williams.

[browardchad]

I saw one of his accusers on TV claiming he had groped her when she was 15. From appearances that is only understandable...he was probably 6 months old.

LOL! Someone was just telling me about Dr. Joyce Brothers coming forward with her "grope" story last night -- while she was in her '20's -- that would make it in the 1950's, when Arnold was a child living in Austria.

[VRWC_minion]

This isn't about book sales is it ?

[OldFriend]

Wonder what the Shrivers think of the New York Times now......to say nothing of the LA Times.

Arnold's campaign proved the media bias for ALL to see.

Joe Conason can write all the books he wants about the conservative bias in the media......we all know better.

[MamaLucci]

If you drag a $100 through a Hollywood movie set, you never know what you'll find.

Now, that was good.

[OpusatFR]

Looks like the democrats eat the young of their icons, too.
