Actually, Tweety issued his dictum during Darryl ISSA's CA recall, when some FIGHTING Dems were planning to dig up all the dirt on SCHARTZ, and Tweety, whose politics appears to be more than "local," more like Irish-Catholic ethnic, anybody from Tip O'NEILL to RAYGUN to the KENNEDYs, appeared to support SCHWARTZ because of Maria KENNEDY.
Oh. One of the accusers, after describing scenes of humiliation, harassment, and retaliation from SCHWARTZ and his playground buddies, reveals that she went on to vote for him. Oh.

Irin Carmon—What was it like to accuse Arnold Schwarzenegger of sexual assault and harassment? Two of the women who spoke out just before Schwarzenegger was elected governor told us their stories.
In October 2003, The Los Angeles Times published the accounts of six women, four of them speaking on condition of anonymity, who described sexual bullying and humiliation at the hands of Schwarzenegger in encounters spanning decades. Within days, over a dozen women had come forward, only to be accused of being liars and Democratic plants. The Schwarzenegger campaign even sent out an email to reporters claiming that one woman, Rhonda Miller, had a criminal record involving prostitution and drugs. (It was a different woman of the same name; a judge dismissed her defamation claim, ruling that it had to be held to a higher standard because Miller had made herself a public figure when she held a press conference with Gloria Allred). ....
Baron didn't complain to director Ivan Reitman, she said, because he himself was contributing to the boorish environment on set, suggesting she make sexual jokes to Schwarzenegger and inviting her out for late-night drinks. (The director later denied that any of it had taken place, Baron said.) She stressed that she didn't feel like a victim because of the incident, but knew other women on set had been negatively affected and feared repercussions.
When Baron did decide to speak with the LA Times, she said, "I had no idea what this was going to set off." She was deluged with calls; hosts of an LA radio show where she'd appeared as a guest accused her of being a liar. The ABC Primetime episode she'd taped for her work as a psychic investigator was put on hold until several months later, and she was reprimanded by one of the show's producers for potentially undermining the show's credibility, or politicizing it. Still, Baron voted for Schwarzenegger, saying he was the lesser of two evils.
