schwarzenegger acknowledges offensive behavior, apologizes
Thursday October 2, 2003

``...
Gubernatorial front-runner Arnold Schwarzenegger, acknowledging he has "behaved badly" to women, apologized Thursday and promised he has changed.

Schwarzenegger's remarks, as he kicked off a statewide bus tour in the final days of the recall campaign, came after the Los Angeles Times published a story Thursday in which six women accused him of sexually harassing and groping them.

"Yes, it is true that I was on rowdy movie sets and I have done things that were not right, which I thought then was playful but now I recognize that I offended people," Schwarzenegger told a crowd of supporters in San Diego.

"Those people that I have offended, I want to say to them I am deeply sorry about that and I apologize because that's not what I'm trying to do," he added.

From this point on, Schwarzenegger said, he would prove he is a "champion for the women." As he made the pledge, the crowd interrupted him with cheers.

cheers? fricking unbelievable. where do they find these people??!!

3. whoops

i searched for "schwarz" before posting, but the title of the other thread referred to him as "ahh-nold". isn't that a rule violation? the thread titles in LBN should be the same as or at least close to the title of whatever news article is being discussed.

California is gonna get a real jerk if they vote for him!

5. where do they find these people??!!

Unfortunately, there are million of right wing morons who love to drink, dope and indulge in kinky sex. You may even work with some. They are the kinds of idiots who listen to Man Cow, Howard Stern and even Rush "Pigboy-On-Dope" Limbaugh. Dance to old Ted Nugent tunes and new Toby Keith "love Amerika, love George Bush" anthems.
Look around you. They're everywhere.

I know. It's disgusting but true.

They ought to send him one-way to Baghdad, since he luvs
Amerika so much, and put him out in the mine field blindfolded
then he would be proud to be an American, oh wait thats
that other country moron who sings that one.

12. Proof Positive: Time for Mandatory Sterilization

"Look around you. They're everywhere."
Sorry, I have to admit it crosses my mind daily-
I do look around and I think to myself,
"God I hope they are not contemplating breeding."
I know its wrong, but I just can't help it.
They scare the hell out of me.
Ignorant hate mongers everywhere...
All chanting "Kill the brown people" and
"Arnold, Arnold- Terminator for governer!
That will be so cool!"
And I'm sorry, but when I think of them having
children and continuing their cultural ignorance,
I can only think, we must stop them!

Shamefully yours,
BHN

7. You cant have gangbangs

without women choosing to participate, unless of course he raped them. I dont find the sad part being that he had gangbangs with women, i find it sad that he would have to come out publicly and apologize for his private life way before politics.

Its sad that polititians use private lives, especially before even thinking about politics, to try and grasp leverage. "He got a blow job". "He had a DUI in the sixties". "He was Mr Olympia 3 straight years....but he also had gangbangs in the 60's"

WHO GIVES A SHIT

[It was not a pretzel]

9. Missing the point

this isn't about his gangbangs, this is about him groping women who had no wish to be groped.

[1a2b3c]

11. No i didnt miss the point, i just didnt explain mine very well

Yes he did that, thats good/or bad, its besides the point. Was there ever a mention of it before the election, or is this just another political smear tactic i would expect to come from the republican party?

16. Arnold's peccadillos were brought up before this

It was a private matter when he was a private citizen. But now that he is running to oust a legitimately-elected governor, as a member of the party that considered a hummer to be an impeachable offense, then his sexual behavior becomes fair game.

8. I hope those women tell him "I'm wasn't offended"

I was raped!

[IggleDoer]

13. "I behaved badly"...

... "and I should be spanked, very hard."

Maria, are you listening???

14. Schwarzenegger sex scandal explodes - Reuters

Washington - Six women who met Arnold Schwarzenegger on movie sets and other places over the last three decades say he groped them, the Los Angeles Times said on Thursday.

In interviews with The Times, three of the women described their surprise and discomfort when Schwarzenegger grabbed their breasts. A fourth said he reached under her skirt and gripped her buttocks.

A fifth woman said Schwarzenegger groped her and tried to remove her bathing suit in a hotel elevator, while a sixth said Schwarzenegger pulled her onto his lap and asked whether a certain sexual act had ever been performed on her.

15. He has been saved!!!

Yes, Jesus talked with him, saved his soul and told him he was the best man for California so he could help save Bush from defeat....the lord works in mysterious ways, praise be thee, bet Pat Robertson and Falwell will soon acknowedge that Arnold has been saved and now doing God's work...

[PurityOfEssence]

17. I want to hear him comment on the analingus

I was just teasing...I mean kidding her about the tongue in the...you know...

It's just the kind of thing that'll leave a bad taste in most people's mouths.

Yeah, okay, so he's changed. But has he brushed and flossed?

[benchwarmer]

18. He appologizes and we're ok with that?

Ok, get out the vote. If your in California, get out the vote.

also, do me a favor, if you see a arnold campaign sign, deface it.
Write "Cliche" on it or "Movie quotes don't buy votes" or "Stupid is as stupid says" or "What the hell are you thinking?"

The man is an arm chair politician with money. He admires hitler, gropes women and doesn't answer questions because "The people don't want details" (which translation means "the people are on a need to know basis and don't need to know" or "I don't know, let me go ask Karl Rove what to think")

You all think Bush is a puppet king? Wait for Arnold, he only thinks he's in control. To his credit, I don't think Bush has those illusions.
