Governor keeps deals secret

His aides say he won't reveal all of his income, citing privacy concerns.

Despite the furor that prompted Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to drop his $5 million magazine deal last week, his aides declined Monday to provide additional details on income he is receiving from 20 other businesses that each paid more than $10,000 last year to his personal holding company.

Schwarzenegger's financial adviser, Paul Wachter, and his communications director, Rob Stutzman, cited privacy concerns as the reason for keeping secret the governor's total outside income.

On Monday, at a Bay Bridge bill-signing ceremony in Oakland, Schwarzenegger appeared to make light of the minimum $3.5 million he gave up by ending his American Media deal. He's keeping at least $1.5 million that the company should have already paid under the terms of the contract.

"I have no problem about the money, but my wife had a little problem with that," Schwarzenegger told reporters, in reference to first lady Maria Shriver. "She was worried - that means less diamonds or something like that."

(why does Maria stay with this neanderthal?)

1. Has it occurred to

you that Maria is also a neanderthal, but she hides it better. I have had nothing but contempt for this woman. Unfortunately, the Kennedy name has disguised her vulgarity.

2. She seems incredibly phony and materially driven

I don't know her but that's my impression. Weird in a "Kennedy", even a cousin.
