Poll question: Any Dem governor who groped a reporter on air to shut her up would have been charged with assault
And if that Dem governor had a past history of groping women he would have had to resign by now. Even Dems would be demanding he resign. All the news organizations would have demanded it too. With Fox leading the charge. Wouldn't be any laughing and joking about it.

I didn't see that news b'cast, but the still photo looks like "holding hands." I'm not excusing, of course, Arnold's improper past.

5. So if your wife or daughter was a reporter interviewing a governor about a disaster...
...and the thug reached out and grabbed her hands in the middle of a sentence and wouldn't let go you would consider that holding hands?

9. Hey, put this together with that 'we should all carry concealed weapons' thread
and its a miracle this woman's husband or father didn't come down and shoot Ahnold.

10. as I said,
I didn't see this in context. Nevertheless, it appears I'm only to draw one conclusion here, so I'll just vote and withdraw.

6. This topic is a joke right? Holding someone's hand is groping? Yikes!

8. He grabbed her hand. It was overly familiar, it wasn't groping.
I remember groping fondly.Heck, when my husband is feeling fluffy, I still get the occasional grope. That's not groping.

11. It's intimidation, plain and simple. Arnold is a bully, too.

14. He grabbed her hand while making a point. She didn't give him a blow job.
You CAN tell those are two different things, right? I don't think either is anything to make a federal case out of.
