in a press conference that was shown live on CNN, no less.
Arnold Schwarzenegger started his speech by saying don't believe everything you read. he then went on saying that, yes, he's done some questionable things in the past, and yes some of them were done on movie sets. and he was sorry. he never meant to hurt anyone. he 'sincerely' apologized to people he might've hurt. he then went on to 'the future of politics'.
this is another nuclear detonation on the part of the repubs. you don't go on national tv and say that you've done all those horrible things. not 6 days before the recall vote in which you're leading. and, you certainly don't admit to doing those after telling the people in front of you that there are lies being told.
and you certainly don't say the following:
"Yes, I have behaved badly sometimes, yes it is true that I was on rowdy movie sets ... and I have done things I thought were playful that now I recognize that I have offended people"
*now* he recognizes that groping women is wrong???
it takes you a long-ass time to recognize that you disrespected women, doesn't it, Arnold?
but the biggest problem with this last-minute effort, other than it looking a hell of a lot insincere and opportunist at best, is that Arnold said he 'never meant to hurt anyone'. now, doesn't something feel wrong in that statement? groping people, in this case, women, is wrong. whether you meant to hurt the person or not is absolutely irrelevant!
don't let this bozo become your 'champion of women's issues'.
