Arnold: "... all these women want to have an apology?

[Snellius]

SCHWARZENEGGER: I'm sorry about it. Well, let me tell you something, that no one every came to me in my life and said to me that I did anything, then said, ``I don't want you to do that and you went over the line, Arnold.'' Now, all of a sudden, isn't it odd that three days and four days before the campaign, all of a sudden, all these women want to have an apology? Isn't it odd?

JENNINGS: Are you blaming the women?

SCHWARZENEGGER: I mean, you have common sense, Peter. You can figure it out for yourself.

JENNINGS: Are you...

SCHWARZENEGGER: Come on now.

JENNINGS: ... well, no, you figure it out for me.

SCHWARZENEGGER: I mean, no, no, no, no. But I'm just trying to tell you, you know it and I know it.

1. Jeez, what a Moran everyone is that they can't figure out

what arnie means by ..."yada yada yada yada all these women"!!!!!!

[LibDemAlways]

2. Hey Arnold...

Some of these women are going to want more than an apology. The more you distort the facts and try to blame the victims, the more likely it is you'll end up with a whole lot of litigation staring you down. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

[rwork]

3. I remember Trent Lott

saying after Clinton was reelected in 96, let the hearings begin. Bill will seem like a saint if Arnold is selected.

[Fridays Child]

4. If this piece shows his intellectual ability, I'm not sure who's dumber...

...Arnie or the chimp.

[kcwayne]

5. I can't stand it

The Repuke line is that the LA article is gutter politics because they drop the bombshell a week before the election.

Excuse me, this information has been out there since Arnold announced that he was running. The press hasn't made it front line stuff until now, but these are not new allegations.

6. Can a Governor be impeached? Or is that a federal regulation only?..

Sid

[realFedUp]

9. Hey Sid, a governor can be recalled!

Exactly what we're going through now.....gadzooks.

[meisje]

7. Listen to me now or listen to me later

ya!

[jiacinto]

8. This makes me want to puke.

First of all think of these women. Folks, put yourself in their positions.

You are a woman working for one of the most influential/economically powerful men in Hollywood. You need this job to live off of and to make ends meet. You have children and a husband to support.

Arnold gropes you. Do you honestly think that you are going to scream and to confront him when doing so almost assuredly means that you will 1) lose your job and that 2) Arnold will make sure that you never get another job in Hollywood again?

Maybe, Arnold, women didn't want to confront you because they knew that you might very well take retalitory action against them. Did that ever cross your mind?

[zbdent]

10. And don't forget the poor, maligned, victim (wealthy white aryan)

having plenty of money to squash any sexual harassment suits (and the fact that this guy has all the pull at the major studios) by bringing in a team of lawyers to squash the women's TV attorney.

Or, at least, that's how they portrayed Clinton's M.O.

[Cheswick2.0]

14. you are absolutely right Carlos and thank you

I would imagine that is exactly how it is.

[CMT]

11. what a loser Arnold is

which is it? he says yes he did "behave badly" in the past and now he is trying to say it is a last-minute election ploy.

[dfong63]

12. disgusting

what matters is a little thing called the "truth", Arnie. why the women are coming out now is irrelevant. deal with the TRUTH of the allegations. if they're false, then stand up on your hind legs and say so. if they're true, then get down on your knees and beg forgiveness. come clean. don't try to play games with us anymore.

tell us, Arnie, since you now realize that sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual battery are serious crimes, what a Schwarzenegger administration would do to reduce that crime. what do you think is the appropriate punishment for someone who is guilty of the behavior you're accused of? why do you think more women don't press charges? what should be done to encourage women to pursue criminal charges?

should sexual batterers be allowed to get away with a vague and half-hearted apology? is that an appropriate punishment, Arnie?

[Nobody]

13. If he does apologize it won't be sincere

This guy needs to get hit with the Clue Club several times and he still won't get it.

Stick to acting, Arnold.

[Yavin4]

15. Why Didn't These Women Complain?

It's not like Arnold was some high-powered Hollywood figure who could snuff out the careers of these women like one of his cigars if they dared complain. It's not like Hollywood whistleblowers get shunned by the industry. It's not like Hollywood is a unfriendly place for women to work.

So why didn't anyone complain?

Please note: I'm being sarcastic.

[Emillereid]

16. Didn't this bozo learn in kindergarten that it's not OK to touch

a girl's body or pull up her skirt -- every 5 year old knows that what he did (does) to women is wrong. To think we have to explain the basics of social propriety to an over-grown school yard bully who wants to be the governor of the great state of kully-fornia. And to think the polls say he's got it in the bag. Must be something in the water -- otherwise how to explain this mass craziness. God, wake me up from this awful nightmare!
