Schwarzenegger: Sexual Harassment? "Old news."
Wow. Wait until the media take him to task for lying. He's in big trouble. Really. Big trouble. I'm not kidding. Judy Woodruff will be all over this one on Inside Politics. Just you wait. Crisis in California. Big. Has legs. 24 hour coverage. Honest.

<edit--this is at the very end of the article>

One thing that isn't likely to happen very soon is a new discussion of the sexual harassment charged that dogged Schwarzenegger in the final days of his campaign. Speaking on NBC last weekend, he said he would provide a more complete explanation of his actions after Tuesday's election day.

But Schwarzenegger shrugged off a reporter's shouted request for that promised explanation at the end of Thursday's news conference."

"Old news," he said, as he walked briskly off the stage.

13. Works are in the process to extend it maybe to three or even five
Years and to stiffen the monetary and other punitive corrective remedies for such acts that occur in work place environment (too bad they can't make it retroactive). Anyway I hope they might get it done so the Barbarian Governor can sign it right when he gets put in office. I heard about it on the KPFK radio in interview with a chairman from California state legislature Health and safety code committee that is in the process of getting the bill together.

Can’t remember his name just now but he was one of the guys that help sponsor the domestic partnership legislation and he resides in the bay area

9. I wonder if not raising taxes will become "old news"
... when Arnie raises taxes, will he shrug that off as "old news" as well? When he is forced to make cuts in education funding, will that be "old news" too? When he breaks his campaign promises, will that be "old news"?

Or will he just blame Gray Davis? Or maybe Bill Clinton?

12. yeah...that Hitler thing was such old news also....
I don't think a lot of women are going
to give Arnie a pass on this one. The
good thing about the publicity now is that
women working in state office will report any instances of
sexual harassment and they will go to court.
Men will be watchful also.
