Muscle mentor keeps tabs on Ah-nold [the "love-child" story sure shoots this theory down]
NY Daily News ^ | August 20, 2003

Will Arnold Schwarzenegger get a pass from the supermarket tabloids? The California gubernatorial hopeful predicted at the start of his campaign that political foes would try to plant stories branding him a "womanizer." But Arnold's former bodybuilding mentor, Joe Weider, says he's fixed it so The Terminator has nothing to fear from the dreaded tabs.

Earlier this year, American Media Inc., which brings you The National Enquirer, the Star and the Globe, bought Weider Publications, which includes Men's Fitness, Shape, Flex and Muscle & Fitness.

Weider tells us that, while discussing the merger over dinner at Los Angeles' Peninsula Hotel in January, American Media chairman David Pecker told him:

"Joe, we've done enough on Arnold. We're going to lay off of him. We're not going to pull up any dirt on him."

"I didn't have to ask," adds Weider, who brought the 21-year-old Austrian to the U.S. in '68. Pecker "volunteered it."

Pecker calls Weider's recollection of their meal "insane."

"Joe Weider is 83," says Pecker. "I never made such a promise. Joe did say, 'You've hit Arnold pretty hard.' I said those stories were old news. But I also said, 'Joe, I will publish anything our readers want to read.'"

In 2001, The Enquirer ran a story, which Schwarzenegger denied, claiming that Ah-nold had carried on a seven-year affair with bodybuilder Gigi Goyette during his marriage to Maria Shriver.

"We have our tentacles out there now," said Pecker, as does Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, himself a would-be California gov, and journalist John Connolly, whose scorching 2001 Premiere story accused Schwarzenegger of adultery.

Investigative badgers are trying to find Goyette, who may have left for Europe just before Schwarzenegger announced.

When the filthiest trashoids attack a poor innoncent pure hearted all American RINO
it actually makes him look the victim...

It would not (imo) matter if Weider was 8 or 80 as far as being believable

Next thing ya know his poor wife will have a case of the vapors....
And we will be told not to say anything negative about Arnold just get out and vote for him
regardless of his platform campaign promises revisions lies and his liberalness

Pro Abortion
Anti Gun (pro Brady..pro AW ban...) Anti self defense (except for the elite)
Pro Sodomite marriage and adoption of children
Pretty much stolen from McClintock when his original plans (the real Arnold) were not playing too well to Republicans
Pro Tax...Anti Tax...Pro Tax...Anti Tax (who knows what he will really do or be able to)
Pro Social program
Anti Ca Indian Casino (Pro Las Vegas?)

The Kennedy's had to know the dirt was gonna fly..(heck Arnold paid off the Weisenthal Center with @ $1Million)

Arnold will be the big usurper of the GOP in Ca...perhaps set a national trend to wrest the GOP from the hands of those conservatives who believe
in the U.S. constitution and the Bill of Rights

Arnold does not believe in either.....

He is not what the founders would have wished on America

He might be wearing the GOP jersey in Cali...but he is not on the team of the real GOP (or perhaps this is just the old GOP) and Arnold actually is the new GOP..and the future of the Republicans..
And the one party system
imo

I am finally forming words to explain what I see as total hypocrisy on the Arnold/McClintock thing...

When Bill Clinton groped women, we said that was a reason to state he had no morals and should be kept from office. We were right of course, but the Dems said, "So What?"

Now, Arnold is proven to grope women, the Dems say he is unfit to hold office because of that, and the Repubs are saying, "So What?"

Who is the bigger hippocrite here? Us with Arnold? Or the Dems, with Clinton?

And don't bring up Juanita, groping is still groping, and is certainly a reason to say someone is unfit, regardless if there is a worse charge after that, groping is still a reason to say someone is unfit!

Sorry... no comparison. Stating that Juanita was "groped" does her a terrible injustice.

As a woman I would tend to find an enormous difference between having my butt patted without the "patter" asking permission first then to be forced down, bitten to be held in place, and RAPED...

I didnt say Juanita was groped, I said it doesnt even matter about Juanita, Clinton, as a groper, was unfit for office already, by remarking on the rape, that is only stacking the deck against someone who IS ALREADY unfit for office
