When I read this comment by Arnold, Immediately thought of the old "Saturday Night Live" show. The Dems should be quaking in their boots. If they refuse to go along on the budget, Arnold will nail them in the fall election. Silent Running blog.
You knew this was coming...
And it was only a matter of time
"If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers ... if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men," Schwarzenegger said to the cheering crowd at a mall food court in Ontario.
Also predictable was the faux outrage reaction from the Dems - from trying to hide by turning it into an insult against gays, but probably none more ludicrous that the Assembly speaker, hiding behind his 13 year old daughter
Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, a Democrat, said that while he wasn't upset by the remark, his 13-year-old daughter was.
"She's a young girl who knows the governor and really likes him a lot and didn't find the term to be a positive term, and finds it to be derogatory," Nunez said. "It was no question a very, very insensitive comment to make. I personally am not intimidated or threatened by it, but I think it really is beneath Gov. Schwarzenegger."
Let's see if I can put this in proper 'fornian format and useage...Duuuude, that is soooo last week in a 'challenge the pledge of allegiance' kinda way, ch'ya?
Expect the whining to continue, particularly if Ahhnold 'Hans and Franzes' them again. |
