Joy Browne, a psychologist and syndicated radio talk show host, remembered him running his hands along her legs while she conducted an hourlongApparently not this woman. A real woman might have slapped him or told him off but she continued on for an hour more doing nothing??? She didn't even need to slap ---- she could have given him a cold look and said "this interview is over". I have a feeling she liked it at the time, it was only later --- like last week she decided to be offended.

Arnold is a hunk while Gray Davis looks like a caring, feeling wimp. They had a feminist try to change Al Gore's look into an alpha male look, even retouching his photos appropriately. Did they already forget that wimpy men don't appeal too much to voters?

Clinton's women wanted him. Women like Juanita and Paula? Right...
Just for the record, ol' Ahnold wasn't out there pawing at Cruz Bigbreast's daughters. This was the Hollywood scene. Anyone remember Hollywood (pre-election)? Yeah, THAT Hollywood - land of tabloid orgies and the casting couch; land where everyone knows that the only way to the top for women is to climb the stairway of male crotch. It's also the same for the cute guy - a well placed bj on a connected dude does wonders for the career.
Maybe, then, a lot of women fugured out that groping in Hollyweird was not much to get excited about; sex sells in tinsel town and the rest of the electronic media.

Nonsense! The female voters backed Arnold because they KNEW that the 15 groppees were lying! California women, especially, Angelenas, KNOW that a rich, macho dude in show business, over 30 years, had to get his willie wet!
Yet, the neocommunist Times, pretendeds that, of 15 women, all were only felt or fondled and NONE ever did him. BOGUS!!! The voters might have assumed that Arnold was a fairy and that's why there were no actual scores. But, Arnold's wife and 4 children prevented that discussion. So, female voters KNEW that the claims were so faint that Arnold was almost being praised. The Times is so far removed from the real world that it didn't see it.

Thanks for the email link. I just sent the author of this piece the following:
How can you distinguish between Clinton and Schwarzenegger on the grounds that "Clinton's women wanted him"?
Both men found some women responsive to their advances and other women offended by them. You would have credibility if you condemned Schwarzenegger AND Clinton; by drawing this phony distinction, you reveal yourself to be either a hypocrite or an idiot.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Playful grabass is a manifestation of heterosexuality.
In the right context, it's no crime.
Most women like heterosexual men (RAT staffers and LA Times writers excepted). Most men understand (metrosexuals excepted).
That's all there is to it.

Wake up, you daft girl. (Not you Cincinatus' Wife, the author of this 'piece'.)
They elected Arnold for the same reason they elected and re-elected Clinton, they didn't care about the groping even if it were true, which most of them probably believed to be so.
If Trent Lott would have been in Arnold's shoes they would have made him pay. Ditto for Newt, ditto for Nixon, ditto for Cheney, etc., etc. Bush would get away with it too, just flash a photo of him in his landing gear.
The only way to explain it is that women don't mind a groper, or a 'give me a little in the Oval Office, please' punk if they are aesthetically (sp?) pleasing to them.
It's an unfortunate side effect of the 19th.

That, and maybe their reasoning had something to do with this bumper sticker, which I understand can be seen around California....

Is it better to have a boss who's competent and everyone likes working with, who nonetheless has a weakness for the ladies, or one who's a sexless cold fish who also happens to be hopelessly incompetent?
Isn't that, um, a pretty easy question to answer?
The women he's worked with for long periods of time - before or since - don't seem to have any problems with him, and the outlandish stuff is over a decade old.

It wasn't just a few women. It began with two women putting their names out there in public and ended up, in less than a week, with about a dozen charging that, between 1975 and 2000, Schwarzenegger grabbed, groped and humiliated them.I wish Arnold would publicly state how many women have grabbed and groped him over the years. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of women who couldn't keep their hands off Arnold, the body builder and movie star, added up into the hundreds.

And perhaps, miss malone, the Ca women are flat out tired of the whimpy, feminized, sanitized, politically correct, girlish liberal men who flail about, robbing Ca residents' pocket books while taking polls to see what type of wine to have with dinner.

"IF" the incident actually happened, I think the psycholigist 'thought' she would get the upper-hand (control of the interview) by ignoring his hand.
Odd that the woman would stew in silence for so many years!

Clinton's women wanted him.Guess this bimbette never heard of Juanita Broaddrick or Kathleen Willey (to name two).
To: ambrose
Oh yeah... tell that to Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaderick and the scores of other women that Clinton groped, assaulted, raped and/or murdered. No, no, no... those don't count to liberals, remember? Nuts and sluts is the name of the Kool-aid they all drank. It distorts their view of history and helps them pretend they're not hypocrites.

So what? Schwarzenegger did well among women because he's a hottie?
Sadly this is the case with literally all of my wifes friends .They like to joke about it with lines like"hey I voted for you when do I get my grope""one vote one grope"I guess it would be the equivilent of guys complaining about being groped by Mary Carey.
