Maria Shriver terminates the Terminator

[marmar]

LOS ANGELES – It was a storybook marriage in 1986 on a spring weekend on Cape Cod that united a princess of an American political dynasty, Maria Shriver, and the gap-toothed muscle-clad movie star famous enough to be known by one name, Arnold.

In many ways, it was a pairing of opposites: Her uncle was a U.S. president; his father was an Austrian policeman. She was the rising star of a network TV news show; he was the pot-puffing star of "Pumping Iron." He was a Republican with a soft spot for Richard Nixon; her family was a pillar in the nation's Democratic establishment.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced their separation late Monday, cleaving a sometimes-turbulent 25-year relationship after "a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us," the couple said in a joint statement. ..............(more)

10. Arnold leaving the governor's mansion for good?

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. People who watched him in Ca. esp the previous governor's race know why.

He is misogynist, to the bone.( what we used to call a sexist pig).

17. well we know now

Sad situation at best.

As for you gropenfuhrer, you are now reaping what you have sown. Do you like it you pig? You've harmed a lot of people with your sex problems!

4. gee what a shock

I never knew why she put up with the gropenfuhrer to begin with. Now her life shall begin!

I don't blame you Maria, not one bit.

I do feel sad for the children however as it is always hard on them when parents split up.

:dem:

7. The Gropenfuhrer. LOL CountAllVotes

[CountAllVotes]

13. a few years ago there were several of these

Another one that comes to mind rather quickly is the Boobengrabber (thank you Bernie Ward!). :rofl:

:dem:

16. How about Ahnold Schwollenpecker?

I forget which comedian coined that one.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. remember the GOP's push for his presidency?

and were even discussing changing the constitution to allow him to run?

Given the morans, dolts, and doofuses currently running for the GOP nomination, he would be an improvement.

9. I hope she gets a sandwich in the divorce settlement

She could use one.

14. check out the difference

This was on the wedding day (needless to say). Maria looks healthy, not bone thin like we see her these days. I guess being married to the gropenfuhrer took a lot out of her in more than one way!

:(

15. Team food is pulling for her.
