Gov. Schwarzenegger's comments over the weekend have California Dem panties in a bunch. Funny I don't recall the Dems or gay rights groups protesting when the original skits ran mocking body builders. It is not exactly a secret that the gay community enjoys body building and Ahnold posters WARNING: LINK IS NOT APPROPIATE FOR WORK.....only the naive missed the joke.
Seems a little convenient that suddenly during an election year they are shocked after twenty-five years of re-runs and SNL mocking gays with tasteless characters such as Mango.
Governor tells voters Democrats have to goBudget fight turns into broad clash over state government
"I want you to go out there and go after those Democratic legislators,'' he urged to wild applause. "They are obstructionists. Go out there and vote them out of office. Vote them out of office, and we will put new faces in there.''
The governor sparked an uproar Saturday when he referred to the Legislature as "girlie-men,'' a reference to an old "Saturday Night Live" skit in which Schwarzenegger-mimicking body builders spoke mockingly of weaklings. The comment offended women's groups, gay and lesbian groups and many Democrats.
John Kerry attending The New School's Bob Fosse workshop during his vacation declined to comment.
