re: So is Jimmy Carter, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with them or consider them competent. That's pretty shallow. Yeah but that doesn't answer the question what specifically do you have against Sharpton and Jackson. Here is where Lamont stands: nedlamont.com

>JCP was the one who challenged me to point out some of Lamont's positions, and I explained to him that Lamont isn't expressing any except his anti-Iraq stance. But that simply isn't true. He's expressing his other positions as he campaigns around Connecticut and on his website; the media is only covering the Iraq one. In fact, a lot of his supporters have been upset that the media doesn't talk about the rest of his platform. -Z

Schwarzenegger Apologizes for Remark Schwarzenegger Apologizes for Calling Cubans, Puerto Ricans 'Very Hot' During Staff Meeting By MICHAEL R. BLOOD SANTA MONICA, Calif. Sep 8, 2006 (AP)— Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger apologized Friday for saying during a closed-door meeting that Cubans and Puerto Ricans are naturally feisty and temperamental because of their combination of "black blood" and "Latino blood." He said the tape-recorded comments "made me cringe" when he read them in Friday's Los Angeles Times. "Anyone out there that feels offended by those comments, I just want to say I'm sorry, I apologize," Schwarzenegger said. He added that if he heard his children make similar comments, "I would be upset." The furor comes amid a re-election campaign in which the Republican has tried to mend fences with Democrats and moderates and look more statesmanlike and less like the swaggering action hero he played on screen. Schwarzenegger has a history of making off-the-cuff remarks that get him in trouble. He called California legislators "girlie men" and "losers" and talked of kicking nurses' butts. During California's 2003 recall election, he was accused of groping or otherwise mistreating women on movie sets and other locations. He apologized for having "behaved badly sometimes." continued........... abcnews.go.com
