14. "He is working on an animated children's series based on his life"

I don't know whether to :rofl: or :puke:

[Skidmore]

16. To be rated "X", no doubt.

[guruoo]

2. Oh jeez.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Ok that explains that

the separation that is

[LisaL]

4. Well as soon as I heard they were separating, I figured he

likely cheated. Not a big surprise, is it?

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Nope... not one bit

[LisaL]

6. The song "womanizer" comes to mind.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Yep... and power helps to cover a lot of this crap

we get that lesson every so often, don't we?

IMF chief<------ latest scandal for example

[LisaL]

8. The kid is 10.

If it was known when he run for governor I presume he could have kissed that election bye bye. We are not just talking about cheating but having a child with the help. Pisses me off.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. I know, and does not surprise me either

given the story that did emerge during that election...

[Hannah Bell]

10. if the kid is 10, not really.

[LisaL]

11. Likely Maria did not know about it.

The mother of the child still worked for them until January. Maria probably just recently found out who the baby daddy is.

12. What a pig! When he left office, California's unemployment rate

was 12.5%. Enough said.

[Cleita]

13. I for one am grateful that this will probably end

his political career like it did John Edward's. Too bad this didn't come out before we had to suffer him as our governor.

[unblock]

15. i used the household staff member to father mine as well. some jokes write themselves....

[jberryhill]

19. Beat me to it /nt

[kentuck]

17. Where was the media??

As the were railroading Gray Davis from office and Arnold was hiding his love child??

[Cleita]

18. There were some trying to but the stories kept getting

buried or taken care of as fast as they came out. The Los Angeles Times broke a story about him sexually harassing female crew members on his movie sets. Even Gloria Allred, the Attorney, got involved but the stories were discredited or buried. Many of the women were paid off, the allegations dropped and Arnold became governor. :-( Damn, I did my best to post on it with the links on DU but the posts sunk while some other flame wars were keeping the interest of DUers.

20. And a simple use of a condom could have avoided all this unpleasantness . . . nt
