Roland: Mind if we talk about Hermain Cain? Arnold Schwarzenegger: Not at all. Roland: Really? Why not? Schwarzenegger: I feel his pain. Roland: We're back with Gropenfuhrer Schwarzenegger... so, Arnie, as a long-time sexual predator, what do you make of Hermain Cain? Schwarzenegger: These accusations of rowdiness are no big deal... most Republicans know that sexual harassment does not really exist. It's just guys being playful. In my case, there were 16 chicks accusing me of playfulness, but the voters didn't care! It just wasn't a problem, which was fantastic! Roland: Uh, right. But isn't your life now in ruins? Schwarzenegger: Okay, one time I got a little too playful. One time!

Playful, like a rottweiler in heat.

But when Democrats, like Bill Clinton, get playful, they must be impeached.

Oh, SkepticCal! Where are you?

Maybe SkepticCal doesn’t answer to that moniker anymore. I’ll try another one, one that seems more fitting: Oh, GullibleCal!

Gropenfuhrer Schwarzenegger? Der Boobengrabber is clearer. Maybe both.

“Every time you point the finger of blame at someone else, there are 3 more pointing back at you … and a thumb pointing at God!” Ever read Matthew 23?

Republicans always claim to be the adults in the room. Maybe that’s why they always seem to be accused of enjoying adult entertainment.

And nobody even mentions what Cain did to his brother Abel. When asked about his social policies, Cain, in turn, asked, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Well, Susan, the result might be a “bass turd,” ejected by the fish in what fishermen a “bass hole”.

Re REPUBLICAN Mark Foley: “In early October 2006, two news organizations anonymously quoted former pages who said that they had sexual liaisons with Foley after turning 18 and 21.1718 Foley was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, which introduced legislation targeting sexual predators and created stricter guidelines for tracking them.”

Well, to his credit, Newt did marry two of his mistresses…one would think/expect that they at least wouldn’t get upset if he found a new dalliance (was he not encumbered when he was doing them?). Women need to know or should know that Man is driven by an innate (or inane) urge to populate the world and that they are simply fufilling their biological duty for God and Country..etcetera etcetera etcetra…and so it goes..

packratjohn – sorry I lost credability with you yesterday but dictators only? I seem to recall that President Allende was elected by the people of Chile but we took him out and what about the presidents(?) in Nam that we put in then took out because they weren’t toeing the mark or for being stupid.

Arnold having sex is just too disturbing. I keep visualizing is face like it was on Mars after being sucked out onto the planets surface. “Im CUMMMMING!” Boom! head explodes.

I can remember back to the mid sixties when there was a california “art film” making the rounds of small theatres here on the rock. it starred Arnie, melanie griffiths, and a very large pig. the only one that looked to be over 18 was the pig. it would not have qualified for a best costume nomination

Any nation that accepts Lindsey Lohan, “Survivor”, Kardasions, Newt, Boehner, or any career politician as “reality”, needs serious help. Ike had a mistress, most of our Presidents, and politicians played like they had the “James Bond Pass” in their pockets. Athletes and “celebrities” are chased by members of the opposite sex, all the time, some let themselves be caught. When THEY do the pursuing however, it IS a different story.

Did you want a video tape of Cain harassing the women? Maybe he should of done it in the presence of a group of nuns, whose testimony could not be impugned. He has admitted to giving money and gifts to woman who claimed to have had an affair with him. Did he just do that out of the goodness of his heart? US Aid officials, traveling with Cain, stated that he asked them to “introduce” him to young woman in Cairo. A pattern of behavior is clearly present. Is the “blacker” comment meant as as a shot at Obama’s mother or are you referring to Cain’s pimp hat?
DylanThomas3.14159 about 13 years ago
“None of that BS about Cain was ever proven.” In politix nothing is ever proven as it is in a court of law. The voters simply have to make a choice based on who is more believable. In Cain’s case, witnesses came forward. More voters evidently believed them than believed Cain. His poll numbers plummeted. He suspended. Case closed. Next up? The Newt.

I’ve read THE BIBLE UNEARTHED several times, plus other books by Finkelstein. Plus many other similar books and scores of journal articles on the same subject (archaeology). Happy holidays bak atcha!

:Right, a dozen or so women coming forward, with Cain’s lame denials, which hasn’t happend with any other candidate – and finally with him dropping out entirely – surely it’s all BS.:The Left simply can’t stand the Right’s candidate being Blacker than theirs!:No, the left can’t stand the right’s candidate being dumber than theirs, regardless of race.

NebulousRikulau: Just a note about two 16-year-olds not committing a crime… Check California law. Both of them would be considered guilty of a sex crime; yes, only a misdemeanor, but still…"
I’ll take your word for it. What about non-penetrative groping at the Drive-In? Would that be considered “Heavy Petty Crime?” :-)
Sharuniboy: “Oh! But! There are PLENTY of ‘commandments’ against anything and everything ‘sexual’ in nature.”
True enough, but the reason I capitalized “Commandment” was to specify the Decalogue of Moses, as it is commonly understood (although variously translated and even more variously interpreted).
As regards both of these responses, my point remains. There are crimes and there are Crimes, just as there are sins and there are Sins. An adult having sex with a similarly-inclined 16 year-old is neither legally nor morally equivalent to raping a toddler.

“… all those steroids [former gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger] took also played into his hypersexuality.” If anything, steroids contributes to HYPOsexuality, not HYPERsexuality. IOW the male steroid-taker’s gonads shrink, sperm production is reduced, etc.

“Workman-like defense.” What an admission of defeat!

Shouldn’t it be Gropenführer, not Gröpenfuhrer? The word führer is correctly always spelt with an u – umlaut (the two dots). And if one writes grope with an o-umlaut, as gröpe, the pronunciation changes to gr(oe)p. Sorry to be a spelling Nazi, but there it is.

Some. I have relatives in Hamburg, and my ex-wife is a Russian who spoke German but (until fairly recently) no English. My Russian can politely be called poor:/ You can use umlauts by writing on MS word and using the Insert Symbols feature. I do.
