Personal Barbs Fly in (California) Recall Debate

When the action star attempted to cut in during Huffington’s answer to a question, she said, “This is the way you treat women, we know that.”

The moderator, Stan Statham, called that a “direct and personal attack” on Schwarzenegger and gave him a chance to respond.

“I would just like to say that I just realized I have a perfect part for you in ‘Terminator 4’,” Schwarzenegger shot back, apparently alluding to a scene in “Terminator 3” in which his character pushes the head of a female terminator into a toilet.

1. OUCH!

I love how the whore media actually provided the context for Ahnuld's Terminator 4 comment. I was really hoping they would, it exposes him for the misogynist that he is.

DTH

2. That artlicle praises Schwarzenegger when he actually looked idiotic..

I really can't believe that article is fair and balanced...ANYONE who saw that debate could see he was CLEARLY out of his depth and gave ZERO specifics.....This just blatently goes to show the media is a right wing piece of shit tool.......

3. Huffington Bashing?Not Me!

Her "Answer Yes or No" approach may has worked to stifle,even embarrass the large Austrian,I highly doubt those tactics would've worked on Bustamante,or even Comejo.These guys know their issues. Both from living,and working in California politics.Huffington is the socialite,former Republican ex wife of an oil baron.From Greece.
Arianna's views at times bounce from left to right,and occasionally, out of bounds.Her party label as an {I},should've actually been a{?}.
During her speech,and from other qoutes I've gleaned,Ms.Huffington uses Republican idealogy,Democratic compassion and Socialist values.Though her debate technique is somewhat despotic.She seems genuinely confused,and appears to have forgotten that American politics isnt well suited for multiple parties.The thing she may accomplish,along with Comejo,no offense,is siphoning enough Democrat votes away from Bustamante to put another underdeserving,closeminded republican in a key govermental fixture.One that will be very crucial come next presidential campaign.Voters of California should be very wary,and very careful.If you think your state is in bad shape now,wait until McClintock is in office.
