Thursday, August 07, 2003Arnold Mud Slinging BeginsIt Took Only Seven HoursKatie Couric, this morning: "Let me ask you about his, his baggage, if you will. He's admitted smoking marijuana, using steroids during his body-building career. He's the son of a Nazi Party member. He said he was prejudiced before overcoming those feelings by working with the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles and the Dean of the Center said an investigation of Schwarzenegger's late father, conducted at the actor's request, found no evidence of war crimes. Through his publicist he's denied allegations published in Premiere magazine in March 2001, that he sexually harassed women and committed infidelity. All those things, are they gonna be front and center, Darry, if you, do you think in this campaign?"Found here via Across the Atlantic and Ed Driscoll OK, he's the son of a Nazi Party member, but the foremost Nazi hunters on the planet found no evidence that his father was a war criminal. So, it's a dead issue. Not in this reality. Truth doesn't matter. All I see is the family bravely making the trek through Alpine meadows towards the Swiss border, singing "Doe, a deer". Arnold carrying all the luggage, of course. (I know, that wasn't the song but it's my damn blog, and I'm too tired to Google the name of the flower.) That's the only way he could have ever escaped this calumny. As I've said already, his best answer to all this garbage is "Yah. So?" In California, the drug use and such won't matter; that's their national pastime after all. Don't get me wrong, he's by no means an ideal Republican candidate, but his winning campaign slogan should be "I'm not Gray Davis!" That's a winner. -- posted by Chuck at Thursday, August 07, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
