Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Ties to Hookergate

Poway military contractor Brent Wilkes – whom Justice Department officials identify as the co-conspirator – has long been active in local political circles, serving as the San Diego County finance co-chairman of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign and the state finance co-chairman for President Bush.

Wilkes has not been charged with a crime in the Cunningham case. The former Rancho Santa Fe congressman announced his resignation Monday after pleading guilty to charges of tax evasion and conspiracy. Three other men – Washington defense contractor Mitchell Wade, businessman Thomas Kontogiannis and financier John T. Michael, both of New York – also have been identified as co-conspirators.

Wilkes' story shows how gifts, favors and campaign contributions can be used to gain lucrative business from the government...

Other than Wilkes' donations to federal campaigns, his biggest contributions went to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Besides helping coordinate the Schwarzenegger campaign's finance activities in San Diego County during the 2003 recall election, Wilkes and his wife donated $42,400 to Schwarzenegger, the maximum allowable. The next year, Wilkes allowed Schwarzenegger to use ADCS' headquarters as a local office for his 2004 workers' compensation initiative campaign.

Schwarzenegger appointed Wilkes as a board member of the Del Mar Race Track Board in 2004 and the State Race Track Leasing Commission this year.... http://www.thesyndrome.com/archives/00001434.htm

More deserving than Tenet anyway.

I remember reading this in (I believe Oui Magazine...could be wrong) years ago...about the married Ahnold and his bald-faced offering to a journalist a foray down to Hollywood Blvd. in search of after-dinner "plo chops" (just say it in an Austrian accent)...and thinking, what a skank.

Ahnold and Hookergate?

Hardly outside the relm of the possible.

Puhleeze, puhleeeeeeezzzzzzze!



K&R for Kuhleefoanians!
