Scheer: Just Another Admirer of a Winner

[dw]

In The Los Angeles Times:

In perhaps the most bizarre turn yet in California's season of political madness, the state's highest law enforcement official has said, in effect, that allegations of sexual harassment and even possible assault of women do not constitute serious offenses if perpetrated by his "good friend" Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Speaking at a conference in Berkeley on Saturday, Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer told reporters that although he believed a slew of women's allegations that the governor-elect had grabbed them sexually without permission or invitation, "I'm convinced Arnold didn't really understand that he was caught up in frat-boy behavior."

Since frat-boy behavior has at times encompassed serious violations of the law — including, all too frequently, rape — it is not clear whether Lockyer is denying the seriousness of the complaints against Schwarzenegger or simply suggesting that the actor was not mentally competent to comprehend the consequences of the alleged acts.

Too bad his daughter doesn't overnight with Arnold. I wonder what he would say then? Remember, would you leave a female of your family with Clinton? How about this dork?

Personally, I would trust Clinton with anyone.
