[Cincinatus' Wife]

Deserting Davis***But Friday morning, despite the presence of Gephardt, a labor stalwart, and Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, only 50 people were in the crowd. Most were union officials. They were nearly outnumbered by reporters.

Earlier that morning, Schwarzenegger had attracted an estimated 2,000 people when his bus cavalcade pulled into Arcadia. Later that day, another 7,000 turned out for him in Bakersfield.

Davis tried to correct the impression that the state's economy is in the tank, saying 900,000 jobs had been created since he took office for the first time in 1998. As he spoke, a voice could be heard shouting from the other side of a fence about 75 yards away.

The voice belonged to Eric Beck, a 37-year-old Teamster. It wasn't clear what he was saying until you got closer and then you could see that he had scrawled a message on his clipboard:

"A Teamster for Arnold."

As he explained his position to a reporter, a co-worker named Charlie Evans, himself a Davis supporter ("It's like a marriage. You stick with it."), kidded Beck that "your union brothers are going to come over and skin you."

But Beck wasn't nervous.

"There's more of us than you might think," he said.***

Hey! He groped mine, too! Where do I sign up?!

[Loyal Buckeye]

She's suing because he did or because he didn't grope?

Gotta see the evidence! ;-)

threatening to sue Arnold Schwarzenegger for libel unless he confesses to groping her breasts

Will somebody 'splain to me how not confessing to a grope is libelous?
The only way I can make that work is that she thinks that everyone should grope her, and his refusal to do so (or to acknowledge it) is damaging to her.

A Google search yields this photo of an "Anna Richardson," who is apparently a member of the faculty at Upland Country Day School. Could she be the complainant?

Even Arnold's set ups are being set up.

No matter what happens, after the election nobody in the media will give a hoot about these women. Their newest "best friends" in the press won't even return their calls by Wednesday morining.

My gov. Ballsack? If we could get Davis to run to a cliff and jump off. Maybe he would take some of his lemming friends with him.

Sheryl Main, a Hollywood publicist who has worked with Schwarzenegger on many films and accompanied him on his worldwide travels since 1995, said she was present at the interview with Richardson. Main said it was Richardson who provocatively approached Schwarzenegger. She said that after finishing the brief interview, Richardson rose, cupped her right breast in her right hand and said, "What do you think of these?" She then sat on his lap and was immediately escorted from the room, Main said. She contends that Richardson later concocted her story.

One day Gray has the "Groper-in-chief" campaigning for him, the next he's complaining about Arnold. Which side of his mouth his he talking out of - or which end of his body?

"Richardson is now reportedly negotiating to sell her story to a British tabloid"

Sell her story? Didn't she just now give it away for free?

Kinda like, "I'll give you the punch line, then sell you the joke."

I'm still not sure what to think about Arnold. Assuming he wins tomorrow (and I think he will), I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and wish him good luck in dealing with California's many problems.

One last thought: it sure is difficult to imagine these same headlines being generated about Ronald Reagan.

A British television host is threatening to sue Arnold Schwarzenegger for libel unless he confesses to groping her breasts against her will.

I'm confused. The 'host' is a woman?

[xm177e2]

Too bad. She's just a couple weeks too late to do any real damage to Arnold. OH WELL. Such a shame.

Sounds like black mail to me.
