Premier magazine ran a piece in early 2001 saying nothing less than what the times did durring the election. Look it up, read it.

Arnold said, after the times piece:
"But as I've always said: 'Where there's smoke, there's fire.'
[...] Yes, it is true that I was on rowdy movie sets and I have done things that were not right, that I thought were playful but now I recognise that I have offended people. And those people that I have offended: I want to say I am deeply sorry about that and I apologise."

Okay. So NOW he apoloigizes? not before? NOW he realizes it was wrong, now that he wants to hold high political offfice? But not before?

And what is he apologizing for, please do tell Tom, if this was just "Lies! All Lies! Cooked up by the Damn Bloody Liberals!!"?

Sorry, when you say you didn't reallydo it, but go on to give a half-assed admission and apologize anyway, I think thats really pathetic. If he was really sorry for offending those women, he would fess up and say hes sorry to them personally.

Like I said, I don't object to the guys politics, but if you have any shred of intellectual honesty you have to admit the reality of the situation- this man is not an ethical or moral person, has indirectly admitted to felony sexual assult and nobody left or right should be standing by him or sticking up for him.

C'mon, Tom, find those principles you like to ramble on about!!!

Tom, if someopne humiliated me, I would not be falling all over myself to talk about it in public when I probably don't have a solid legal case or witnesses, and would put my career at risk to boot, and I'm a pretty damn open sort of person. If that someone then runs for a position of high office, I would be thinking 2 things.

1) Like hell am I going to let that sort of person be my leader
2) Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Remember, this WASN'T a new story, tom.
