Et Tu, Arnold?

I don't know how I'll cope with the total, global disillusionment the news of Arnold's infidelity is prompting in me. I would never have suspected him. Never. First DSK, now this. How will I ever trust again?

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man — her husband at the time — was the child's father. When the Times later informed the woman of the governor's statement, she declined to comment further.
That's got to be tough - finding out the child you thought was yours wasn't. I wonder if he was paying child support.

Ah yes. The elites. The people who know better than us how our lives should be lived. The singular and paramount thing about man that God reveals in the Bible is: Man is sinful.
Why, then, do we choose to give great power to our "leaders"?

I'm surprised it wasn't Twins.

I'm surprised he didn't have the pregnancy, you know, terminated.

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
You'd think a Kennedy would be more understanding. If he'd admit he's a Democrat, then he could get away with being a philanderer. That's what they mean by "Progressive."
BTW, exposing my ignorance is not as bad as consciously continuing to be ignorant, so, I must ask, who is DSK?
Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
I'll give you a hint: Who else has in the past 24 hours been dominating headlines in a shocking sex scandal that in fact shocks no one who knows anything about him? Look at his initials ...

How did Arnold break the news to Maria?
Remember when I told you that I would love you last? I lied.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
When Arnold initially ran for Governor, the Democrat machine started cranking and dredging up this stuff dating back to his earliest days. We thought they were despicable smear merchants, and went out of our way to defend him. Again, we find out we're suckers, aiding and abetting typical politicians.
There's more to this than we know.

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
I'm saying it again: If we want reliable fiscal conservatives in office, we'd best be on the lookout for politicians who are committed both in principle and in practice to "the social issues", which is to say, traditional moral values.
Arnold and Newt are just the latest cases in point.

Well you see, Claire, there you go. I have an excuse. I do my best to pretend that French socialist IMF bankers don't really exist. And, if they do, they certainly don't stay in $3,000/night Sofitel suites and rape the chambermaids. And if they do, Air France doesn't really provide them with drop in first class service on any flight back to Paris. And if ..., oh, who am I kidding? This is 2011. Yes they can (and do)!

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
Getting annoyed about my name showing up in sex scandals. Its worse than that time I was working in Chicago and used to festoon the cubicle with fun headlines cut out of the Sun-Times like Kennedy Smith Faces Rape Allegations.
Heck, all I ever did was date some subordinates on the sly and commit the occasional adultery. In the community of nations, we can hold our heads equally high. On the one hand you have this French socialist-for-thee-but-not-for-me charlatan, who upon seeing a hotel maid come in to do her job, seizes her roughly and attempts ravagement in the crudest way possible, unsuccessfully. For Team America, we have the mutual long-term seduction of a man in close proximity to a woman for many years, producing a "love child".
I for one am proud that this can be considered a national scandal. Cause you know it wouldn't be over there.

A man works that hard to fit into his wife's family, and this is the thanks he gets?

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
Etoile, you scamp! We should also note that a French politician sniffed haughtily about Carla Sarkozy "We 'ave 'ad presidawnts 'oo wair lovairs, but nevair one oo was in love."
They have a strange moral code.

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
I'd recommend not trusting any man.
Hmm, back in the good ol days when I stayed at the Sofitel, it always struck me as odd that a maid would come and turn down the bed. I could quite easily do it myself, so I put the "do not disturb" sign on the door.
But, I am so Socialist banker - wait a minute, that does seem very odd.

Hey, if you are a man and you are in the Kennedy family, it is a rite of passage to cheat on your wife.

Who is "we?" I don't know anyone who defended him. Arnold had a long, indefensible history of womanizing & illegal steroid use. As Katievs notes, it's certainly a valid part of the information voters should be taking into account when assessing character. Funny how Newt, too, is showing that his loyalty deficit doesn't just apply to marriage/fidelity.
I always thought Maria Shriver was pretty sharp for a Kennedy. (Granted, tha's not a high standard to pass.) Her parents were definitely the best of the bunch. But I guess being raised in that cesspool of a clan clounds one's judgment about men. As always, I feel sorry for the kids involed.

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
As I opined on Kennedy's FB page: human failing is not partisan and Republicans are not hypocrites for publicly espousing better behavior any more than Democrats are libertines for being more... flexible in their public stance. Politicians are mostly narcissists and narcissists are mostly philanderers. End of story.

Re: Et Tu, Arnold?
This story is just so utterly sad. The saddest part is not that it's a sudden revelation. What is so sad to me is that this family has been in shambles for years. The public is just now getting a glimpse. God help them all.

Maria defended him, and there were testimonials to his good character from all quarters. It was Clinton and Hillary redux. He never would have been elected if Californians - and the ladies of NOW - believed the allegations were true or relevant.
