Yahoo! News - ‘Deeply Sorry’ Schwarzenegger Apologizes to Women

Soooooooo… Let’s see now. Ah-nold is sorry that he did things that he later discovered were offensive. (”Later” as in just the other day when it came up — and not via his conscience.) I am glad that I haven’t been a California resident for a bazillion years, because I’d have to be all up-in-arms (and legs and toes) about this recall business. As a spectator, however, it does have an entertainment value - actual dollar amount as of yet undetermined.

My favorite quote from the article: “Republican political consultant Allan Hoffenblum said that for the issue to harm Schwarzenegger’s campaign, “they would have had to come up with something completely new. This is not a new issue.” He was referring to past allegations about Schwarzenegger’s behavior on movie sets.”

Now you see, this is not new; Ah-nold has been offending women (and other people, no doubt) for years and years. We’re used to Ah-nold offending women, being sexist, a womanizer, all that- it’s old, baby! Let’s get something that will really hurt the campaign, something new! Hell, if the facts of his past are so unimportant, why not let him be president? Eh? Why the heck not? We’ve got George W-stands-for-White-Boy-Network Bush in office. His drinking and drugging past have had no impact on his popularity (although I hear he’s not doing as well with the crack dealers as he did in earlier polls), and the fact that his cash ‘n carry education was courtesy of his good ol’ pops and company doesn’t seem to ruffle any feathers. So yeah, apparently, when you are a republican, your past does not count.

Hmph, I say!
