It's played as Poor-Maria-soap-opera but should be: Him rapacious Nazi p.o.s.

It's not the soap opera angle. It's the politics, the breathtaking TEN YEARS of lying, uh, "acting." I guess he's a better actor than we thought. Last night the yakkers were saying this was the biggest shocker since Woody ALLEN's Soon Yi affair and marriage, yet Woody ALLEN has been sailing along with accolades. And the consensus was that Ahhhnuld's fan base is dudes and the type of dudes who will not see his actions as anything particularly negative, if not outrightly dog as a positive.

The whole story is being played as poor-Maria-how-painful, when it should be played as: Ahhhhnuld the Nazi, arrogant, p.o.s., rapacious, profoundly duplicitous, predator.

And frankly, I have not excused Maria ever since she married him. She not only got the gropings stories squelched, she SOLD him. By that time she should have known a major part of his a-hole depths.

When she married him and he was a Rethug, I put an X on Maria SHRIVER. Disappointed Dems complained and she would tell them, “He’s not really a (Rethug), he’s an IMMIGRANT! That’s why he’s attracted to (Rethuggism) – the economic scrambling, the getting away from (Democratic style) regulations and unions from the country of origin. He’s an IMMIGRANT! But I’m still a Dem.”

I never forgave her. But the California Recall was the real pits. The gropings stories were stifled and Maria not only stood by him, she SOLD him. Surely, by that time she knew his true character of being a rapaciously ambitious, arrogant, rules-don’t-apply-to-me a-hole. Incredibly, she had not plumbed the depths of his Nazi self, his predator duplicity. Below is how Tweety MATTHEWS was the mouthpiece of the KENNEDY cover up in the media for Ahhhnuld. Like how the media never asked Shrub a hard question and attacked the MEAN VICIOUS Al GORE.

The story is being played as oh-poor-Maria-the-pain! It should be focused on what a disgusting, rapacious, predator pig Ahhhhnuld is.


Tweety was a renegade to us beginning with the Fake Impeachment and definitely through Campaign 2000 when he was a de facto Shrub operative, then a Shrub-licker throughout almost all of those eight years including cheerleading in the run-up to the Iraq Attack. And through it all, he was trading off of being called a Lib when he was supposed to be matched up in debates with wingnuts. He was who performed the public execution of DONAHUE on DONAHUE's own show, saying, "This is why Americans hate you Liberals because you never can saying anything good about this country." That's a paraphrase, but very close.

It wasn't until OBAMA that he quieted his wingnut side down.

Through those years, he announced his real roots, that his parents were "cloth coat (Rethugs)" and that basically the main impetus in his politics was not political philosophy but rather ethnic, Irish Catholic pride when JFK came on the scene.

So there we have the link for Tweety: the KENNEDYs.

I distinctly remember the travesty of the California recall, then my disgust (again) with Ahhhhnuld (previously, for having injected his Rethug self into our Dem icon family through Maria, whom I didn't excuse), this time for his opportunism in reaping the vacancy that Darryl ISSA paid for for himself.

And there was Tweety. Not that he is a force, but it was him on the wrong side of us again. There were actually some dedicated FIGHTING Dems in California talking about going all out against Ahhhnuld and digging out all of his sordid past. There always are some Dems anywhere who would like to FIGHT TO WIN, but somehow our Dem leaders and mouthpieces always seem to stifle us. So I distinctly remember Tweety setting up the "dirty politics" and then looking fiercely into the camera and dictating, "THEY'D BETTER NOT!1"

So when Ahhhnuld held his victory night speech, there was that empty stage, then the doors opened and all these preppies in suits poured out onto the stage, and Tweety said, "HERE COME THE KENNEDYs!1"

So it was all about the KENNEDYs for Tweety. Tip's dictum, "All politics is local" ought to be "All politics is personal."

My point is my outrage that the media is complicit in foisting these a-holes on us. They did it during Campaign 2000 when they declared hands off of Shrub, no hard questions for Shrub, no investigation of his putrid history, all tear down the MEAN, VICIOUS Al GORE.

And with Ahhhhnuld, there were reports of the gropings, there was old history about his drugs and sex, but no, he's a movie star with that "compelling personal story" that media a-holes just love. So this LIAR Ahhhnuld got to play his most acting role. And Maria has never been blameless for me.

it was like a victory prize for the Austrian. Why did Maria go along with it?????

Oh, well, no accounting for taste. :puke:

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “solutions to California’s energy woes” reflect those of former Enron chief Ken Lay. On May 17, 2001, in the midst of California’s energy crisis, which was largely caused by Enron’s scandalous energy market manipulation, Schwarzenegger met with Lay to discuss “fixing” California’s energy crisis. Plans to “get deregulation right this time” called for more rate increases, an end to state and federal investigations, and less regulation. While California Governor Gray Davis and Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante were taking direct action to re-regulate Califonia’s energy and get back the $9 billion that was vacuumed out of California by Enron and other energy companies, Schwarzenegger was being groomed to overthrow Davis in the recall. Thus canceling plans to re-regulate and recoup the $9 billion.

After the California’s energy debacle of 2000, Davis and Bustamante filed suit under California’s unique Civil Code provision 17200, the “Unfair Business Practices Act,” which would order all power companies, including Enron, to repay the nearly $9 billion they extorted from California citizens. The single biggest opponent of the suit, with the most to lose, was Enron’s CEO, Ken Lay.

Lay, a very close friend and long time associate of President Bush and Vice-president Cheney, and one of their largest campaign contributors, hastily assembled a meeting with prominent Californians (confirmed by the release of 34 pages of internal Enron email) to strategize opposition to the Davis-Bustamante campaign and garner influential support for energy deregulation.

Included in the meeting were Michael Milken, “junk bond king” convicted of fraud in 1990 who currently runs a think tank in Santa Monica that focuses on global and regional economies; Ray Irani, Chief Executive of Occidental Petroleum; former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan; and movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger. (Riordan and Schwarzenegger were at that time being courted as GOP gubernatorial candidates.)

for Maria. How could she not see what a contemptible jerk he is?

Maria is a pitiful little troll.
