GIRLIE?
Well, it had to happen. Maria must have been out of town. The tired old muscle queen had to emerge sometime: Schwarzenegger Stands By His "Girlie-Men" Line . The funny thing is that he has been doing a pretty good job of not getting his nuts caught in the old partisan battles here. But now, his nuggets are in the vise for sure; from both the demo and repub sides. He went around his own party and they will make him pay and pay. He also has gone back on some deals. Not good.
Well, I do not want to raise the old chest'nut' about muscle queens who are so insecure in their own masculinity they have to bash women and do the male-in-rut dance. Stress leads to the 'real man' coming out; so to speak. It is not really a gay bash or anything other than the immediate recourse of desperation. Perhaps he will regain his footing; but, in the end, he will be sorry that he fell back on the name calling; then defended it; making it all the worse. Up to now, it was a slip of the tongue; Freudian for sure, but a slip nonetheless.
And we are tired of the film allusions too. Yesterday, he said he would 'terminate' the legislators. In a way, that is stronger, more threatened and threatening language. Get back down to size Arnie. The whole world is watching. You are a republiconvention speakah after all!
And that is another thing. A real letdown. Those moderate republicans who are letting bush use them to disguise the fact that the gop has become the evangelical right wing party are the real ball-less wonder sell outs. Now he has me doing it. In a minute, I will be calling Arnie, McCain, and Guiliani girlie-men for not standing up to the busher.
