So, what do you think Maria Shriver is thinking right now?
And what to you think her relatives are thinking?

It's one thing for Arnold to seek office in a legitimate election, but this recall is the closest thing to a "coup d'etat that we've had since . . . well, since Florida in 2004. It may be a bloodless coup. It may have the stamp of approval from California's Republican dominated state supreme court. But it's still a perversion of the democratic process.

1. Why the hell did I marry this schmuck?
But she's probably been thinking that for some time now. :evilgrin:

2. She's probably thinking that this is something he's wanted
and being from THE political family, she would probably want him to switch party affiliation when it has the most impact.

3. She is probably really conflicted
That's what I think. She probably is getting Hell from Kennedy relatives and she wants to also support her husband. She's caught in the middle of this and I don't envy her at all.

8. Family first, is my guess
Even Arnold in an interview years ago stated that if Teddy ran for president, that he would support him.

12. I suppose
But I think she is caught in the middle of this. I do think she is getting hell from her relatives in the Kennedy family over this.

7. Not much.
There isn't that much upstairs in her brain to do any hard thinking. She is pretty dumb actually. The only reason she got any jobs as a TV "journalist" is because of her family ties. The only thing she ever did possibly well as a journalist was Hollywood gossip. If the East Coast has a version of a Valley Girl, that's Maria. I am suspicious that Arnold likes em dumb. I think he married Maria for that reason and because she was well connected.

15. What did all the Kennedys think when Ahnold was fundraising for Bush?
I had no idea what Ahnold's premarital/postmarital-adulterous history was like until he declared his candidacy. What a role model he's been for his children - not. His wife could have divorced him and done quite well with alimony/child support, plus her own family assets. I can not understand why she stayed in the marriage - but I had a beautiful, brainy friend in law school who married a guy very like Ahnold and she keeps alternatively obsessing about his affairs and popping out another baby (four kids). I wonder how messed up the kids are in situations like this.

17. I was thinking the same thing about Suckramento
No way are they going to live there. He'll probably set up a satellite office in Bev Hills.

18. Thinking? Maria? Funny!
Once again: HBO kidflicks - a homemovie on the 2000 elections. Kid asks Maria ti explain him the parties. She was very quick on the GOP: small government, no taxes. But she couldn't for the life of her to explain a 12 years old what a Democrat was: "Uh, there are several kinds of Democrats...there are Clinton democrats, there are...uh - did I mention that there are several kinds of them?"
You don't think a woman with a brain would marry Arnie, donch'a?

24. yeah: loaded question
A question loaded with a false premise cannot be answered.

"So, what do you think Maria Shriver is thinking right now?"

strikes me as one of those questions.

Of course, being too stupid to be capable of thought is only one possible explanation for marrying Arnold Schwarzenneger.

The other is being too self-interested to care about the consequences of her actions for anyone other than herself. People motivated by greed are a large subset of this class. Obscenely wealthy people are a large subset of that subset.

When one sees someone doing an apparently inexplicable thing, stupidity and evil are often the only two explanations available. Of course, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between them, and there is a body of evidence to indicate that they frequently co-exist.

21. Blame the populist idiot that put this in the California. . .
Constitution in 1911. It is a rediculous system that I'm sure will someday soon be changed. On the other hand, If Gray Davis did not have a 20% approval rating in a very Dem controllesd state, this would not be happenning.

26. Maria isn't really a Democrat....
Like most "journalists" on NBC she supports whoever is in power. It's the patriotic thing to do.
