Arnold finally answers a question...

[JustJoe]

EDIT: Taped it from CNN Headline, here's a word for word:

He was asked about the meeting with Lay in 2001 (?).

ARNOLD: "Well, you know that I'm not responding to any of those
things becuase I would be crazy if I would. Because to me-
to me-to me-the-to me the most important thing is that we
move forward in a positive way."

REPORTER: "Are you saying that you don't remember the meeting with
him during the energy crisis, or you remember meeting
with him and you don't remember what you discussed?"

ARNOLD: "No, I don't remember the meeting, period."

2. excellent

comeback. :-)

[Punkingal]

3. To me, to me, to me, to me.......

I would say he is as big a liar as Bush. I hope his stupid ass loses the recall...maybe that will put an end to any idea of him having a political career.

4. Sounds like a Fair & Balanced question,

But the answer was plain bushit.

7. well, he did expand a little

Huffington also criticized Schwarzenegger for meeting with former Enron Chairman Ken Lay in May 2001 in Beverly Hills. The Los Angeles Times reported at the time that Lay gave Schwarzenegger and other business and political leaders, including then-Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, a four-page plan detailing his solution to California's energy crisis.

"I don't remember the meeting," Schwarzenegger said.

"Do I remember all the meetings that I had in the last decade?" he said.

"Well you know that I'm not responding to any of those things because I would be crazy if I would," Schwarzenegger said. "To me the most important thing is that we move forward in a positive way. My campaign is a positive campaign that will bring the economy back, reduce the budget and teach the politicians in Sacramento that we cannot go and spend money that we don't have."

After the exchange, he went inside Mulholland Middle School, where he sat for about 25 minutes with students and parents, watching the commencement ceremony.

8. the cover-up begins!

Of COURSE he remembers it. Hell, how could he NOT remember discussing ENERGY with the CEO of ENRON at a time when ENERGY was THE issue in CALIFORNIA?! The '01 meeting was to lay the groundwork for the political attack on those mean, reregulating Demo(c)rats!

This should be delicious. I believe Ah-nold has stepped in it. There will be folks who were either at the meeting or heard about it who will know precisely what was discussed.

9. How can that be considered a Fair & Balanced answer?

The question was certainly Fair & Balanced.
