THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: Hollywood Rules California <ITEM> SCHWARZENEGGER'S MORE FEMINIST SIDE prweek.com PR Week's Douglas Quenqua asks: "Of the three men honored by a women's-empowerment group in Los Angeles last week for their 'support and advocacy of the issues that are important to women,' how many... have publicly mused over his great fortune at getting to stick a woman's face in the toilet?" If you guessed just one - named Arnold Schwarzenegger - you're correct. The W.O.M.E.N group (Women Organized for Mentoring, Education and Networking) honored the Governator for "his promotion of after-school programs." According to a spokesperson, the group had "no discussion" of the more than a dozen sexual harassment charges and at least one pending lawsuit leveled against Schwarzenegger. Quenqua wonders: "Did the muscle man exert some influence... to get rubbed the right way, PR-wise?" SOURCE: PR Week, May 3, 2004 More web links related to this story are available at: prwatch.org *** RGD Comment: It's even worse than this brief item indicates. Schwarzenegger's campaign for after-school activities was largely a nullity. It was an initiative to come into force only if and when funding became available. Which (according to the devious Republican hidden script) was..... never. This initiative was a triumph of modern propaganda. A convenient way to make Schwarzenegger look like a hero, while accomplishing butkus. Sort of like his entire Hollywood career.
