MoDo's Latest - Gams to Gladiators - making fun of Arnie

snip> Let other reporters poke Mr. S. to see if he can go deep; I wanted to see if he can go light. At a cafe the other night, I asked Arnold if he's a metrosexual. Puffing on his stogie, he looked uncertain but intrigued.

"A metrosexual," I explained, "is a guy who likes traditionally female activities: facials, manicures, shopping." Unlike most soup-stained politicians, this Republican clearly spends time grooming. In person, he looks a little unreal, like a top-of-the-line Madame Tussaud figure: taut skin, buffed nails, designer shades.

"I love shopping for my wife," he replied excitedly. "Because wherever I go in the world, I think about her and I want to bring something back. So when you go to Europe, they have great stores. So I go and I get jackets, shirts, whole outfits, dresses. Because I know exactly the sizes! Then I have people in the store try on the clothes that I find. Or I go find some woman coming in who is about the same size. Or when I buy jewelry I have them put it on, see what the necklace looks like or the bracelet. And I would say I'm 95 percent on the money. With the size and with the style. Maria loves that. Sometimes I get a little beating because I'll come home with a jacket that's a little oversized, and she'll say, `Do you think really I'm that fat?' And I have a lot of patience to go with her because I like to tell her, `This looks good.' She always says, `Why don't you go over in the men's section?' and I say: `No, no. I want to stay here and I want to help you because you'll find something great.' "






this one is a hoot, even tho I still hate MoDo.:evilgrin:

1. snicker. I agree.
Although, if I have to oggle a metrosexual, give me David Beckham. :)
