Close enough for government work (sleazeball attack on Arnold accuser)
Shortly after she became the 16th woman to say Arnold Schwarzenegger had
groped, fondled or otherwise sexually harried her, Rhonda Miller was gang
raped by politics.

Lawyer Gloria Allred tells the story this way. She got a call from Miller, a
53-year-old stunt double who worked on two of Schwarzenegger's films.
Miller told Allred that Schwarzenegger had pulled up her shirt and snapped a
photo of her breasts and had groped her during the filming of two of his
movies.

Schwarzenegger's campaign, frantic to deflect the latest sexual harassment
allegation on the eve of last week's recall election, issued a memorandum to
select California media outlets. Signed by Schwarzenegger spokesman Sean
Walsh, the memo read:

"It has come to our attention from the media that you can access court
documents from the following web site: www.lasuperiorcourt.org/Criminal.
You will have to pay a $4.75 online charge to access/search the site. Once
you have accessed, the site, type 'Rhonda' in the 'first name' field, and 'Miller'
in 'last name' field."

Oh this is disgusting puerile sleaze to the maximum. The article goes on to describe how following the search instructions in the press release pointed to a person with the same name as the accuser and who had a lengthy criminal record and how various and sundry right wing talk show hosts picked up on it and proceeded to smear her with accusations about her suppposedly criminal past . I do hope she takes legal action for slander and does not let these people slither away.

1. Good luck
Why is this in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and NOT in any California paper?

3. When Kim Sarafin appeared to the Joe Scarborough Show
The caption under her name said, "MSNBC Analyst", I did not know was a conservative talk show host.
