MONTEREY, Calif. -- Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante blasted Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, wondering aloud how the former movie star who has been accused of groping women and of using steroids can be so popular.
Bustamante's caustic comments came Friday, when he drew a warm reception from California Department of Forestry Firefighters Association members who were meeting at the Hyatt Hotel here.
"It's like we're all playing in his latest movie and the people of California are all movie extras," Knight-Ridder news service reported Bustamante as saying. "His ratings are still very good and the press just can't get enough of this guy."
Bustamante, the top elected Democrat in California, was defeated by Schwarzenegger in the 2003 recall election. He said the Republican governor escapes criticism that he allegedly used steroids as a body builder "even though many athletes are held to daily criticism."
