SCHWARZENEGGER LAMBASTED OVER SEXIST JOKE

[JI7]

California Governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has been branded a sexist again - after mocking pre-menstrual stress during a shocking live radio interview.

The actor-turned-politician sparked outrage last year when he called his Democrat rivals "girlie men".

And he fuelled his reputation as a misogynist last night when he told outspoken DJ HOWARD STERN he wanted to remove the moon, to prevent the mood swings women suffer before their monthly periods.

Schwarzenegger explained, "If we get rid of the moon, women, whose menstrual cycles are governed by the moon, will not get PMS. They will stop bitching and whining."

DAWN GIBSON, a horrified listener of the show, complains, "He is appealing to the lowest common denominator." >

1. OK, that's low

The "girle men" remarks are one thing, but that really is just not funny, and totally inappropriate for the Governor of California to say.

[merwin]

24. He'll blame this on an inadequate grasp of the english language.

Just like last time.

[Boo Boo]

34. Yeah. But when ya think about

it, Howard Stern's show is not really an appropriate thing for the Governor of California to do at all. He obviously understands what the show is about, but seems not to understand that he left that stuff behind when he became Governor.

Schwarzenegger displays amazingly poor judgment---downright self-destructive. Maybe he's subconsciously trying to tank his own career.

Life is much easier in La-La Land.

[Greylyn58]

50. Thanks wrong for the Governor of any state to say n/t

[Conservativesux]

75. Conan the Barbarian strikes out again. Wake up, Maria !!!.....

You married a classless misogynist and a bigot as well!

[Carolab]

2. Nazi pig.

Let's get rid of men and then they won't have to listen to women "bitch" and "whine", AHnold.

[davidinalameda]

not to defend Ahnuld

but if shocks any Howard Stern listener, then they mustn't listen all that often

[Renew Deal]

55. Exactly

I listen to Howard. That's not even close to the most outrageous thing I have ever heard.

[Merlot]

60. Pretty tame for Howard Stern, had anyone BUT Arnie said it.

[phusion]

3. Why is anyone suprirsed?

He's still the same macho prick he's always been. Like becoming governor was supposed to change something?

[yorkiemommie1]

96. you hit the nail on the head.

does he have any daughters, i wonder? i wonder how he treats them.

he was voted in by starstruck fools who never heard the term, " It's called ACTing"!

[jojo54]

4. Well, he did it again.

Showed his true colors. It's time to ship him back to Austria where maybe he's allowed to insult people and feel the asses of complete female strangers.

[evlbstrd]

19. Austria stripped him of his citizenship.

edit for spelling, dammit.
And dammit passed the check.

[Book Lover]

40. When did that happen?

When he was inaugurated, he was still a dual citizen.

[evlbstrd]

45. It came up in January because he denied clemency to a death row

inmate. But now that I research it again, I don't find anything about it going through.

Here's a link:

[Book Lover]

57. Many thanks!

What a shame a political outsider in Austria made the request... but perhaps over time, Austria will do it. I mean, it really is unfair: I have European relatives who would love to have the dual citizenship privilege (too bad we're too uninfluential for the bending of treaty and law...)

[evlbstrd]

64. Where are your relatives?

We're Irish exiles from 1846. No dual for us, either.

[LostinVA]

82. I have dual citizenship

Thanks to a great-grandfather and his lack of interest in becoming Naturalized! US-Italian, and I can work and live in any EU country. When the camps finally open, I at least know I have a way out.

[smirkymonkey]

100. Hi Lost in VA...

I know this is off topic, but I am gathering the paperwork for Italian Dual Citizenship (my Italian Grandfather wasn't naturalized until after my father was born, which makes me eligible.) I would love to hear about your experience with the process - Thank you so much.

And, oh yeah, Arnold is an asshole.

[evlbstrd]

66. The Greens also called for it.

Google results in lots of headlines.

[yurbud]

31. Austria would probably get tired of him too.

[Dr Fate]

5. Steroid-shooting Weirdo.

Sounds like fucking cave man talk- I like good fashioned "battle axe", Honeymooners style joke as much as anyone-but this is really crass.

[Kerrytravelers]

6. My self-made car window sticker says:

SCHWARZENEGGER: for star-struck voters who aren't paying attention.

[Systematic Chaos]

7. There are no words....

Hopefully Howard Stern could be persuaded to allow those words to be used in campaign ads against that pathetic piece of shit come election time?

[proud patriot]

8. Wheeeeeeeeee !

[roughandtumble]

9. Once a misogynist, always a misogynist.

I miss Grey Davis.

[yurbud]

16. gives us bland semi-competence with a dash of corruption instead of...

Exciting reckless incompetence with corruption at its heart.

[Cha]

10. What will make gropey STOP

BITCHING AND WHINING?!

[PartyPooper]

11. The Kennedy women must be positively delighted with this latest gaffe.

Especially, his wife Maria.

:eyes:

[Erika]

12. I posted last night on this but didn't have the facts

Thanks for supplying the facts. Ahnold is a sexist dufus and Maria should leave the party.

[Pirate Smile]

13. The moon not only controls the ocean tides but also my period! Wow!

Thanks for the biological/medical update Arnie!

Arnie and Frist will be taking their medical act throughout the country - diagnosing people based on TV or made up crap!
:spank:

[yurbud]

14. not out of line for a celeb, but definitely for a pol

But Arnold doesn't know the difference.

He's the star and we're all his fluffers.

[Last Lemming]

15. It's just his way of saying

okay, I'll compromize with the police and the firefighters, but fuck the nurses and the teachers

[MnFats]

17. C'mon, Ahnold, run for president, you stupid fuck.

Let's see how badly you can get your ass kicked.

[yurbud]

32. Sadly, he'd still probably win the presidency

If California was starstruck, think what the pig farmers in Iowa will be.

[american_mutt]

18. "He is appealing to the lowest common denominator." >

well yeah, hasn't she seen any of his movies?

[Grown2Hate]

20. Not defending this, of COURSE...

but this may be an OLD gaffe... as far as I know, Howard is in Best Ofs all this week. Unless this happened last week, but then how would I have missed it? ::shrug:: Yeah, Arnold's an asshole.

25. You inadvertantly make the point.

He's just goin' old school!

[lukasahero]

88. "Women kept their mouths shut"???

Yes, please let's go back to the good ole days where women knew their place and "kept their mouths shut". So evolved, aren't we?

[redqueen]

95. Where's the sarcasm tag?

Or are you really that uninformed?

[beam me up scottie]

22. I say we tie him up

and let the nurses have him.
They probably have MUCH better ways of dealing with his condition...
:evilgrin:

[MADem]

37. Not ALL the nurses, surely...just the ones with PMS!!!

What.....an.....ASS. That man is an UNMITIGATED ASS.

[beam me up scottie]

44. You made me think of another Meyer cartoon:

[alittlelark]

59. I want a vid of the gropenator inserting that!

[beam me up scottie]

67. I'm sure the nice

nurses would help him!

[MADem]

73. Priceless, simply priceless!!! n/t

[Azathoth]

23. Der Gropenfuhrer strikes again

I'm starting to feel sorry for Arnie. The guy clearly has no idea what he's doing. He still thinks he's doing press junkets for one of his films.

[shanti]

61. please!

DON'T feel sorry for the gropenfuhrer! feel sorry for us californians!

[alittlelark]

26. I will max donations and donate TIME to terminate our gropenator.

He is a horrifying embarrassment to this state.

[beam me up scottie]

27. My favorite Meyer cartoon:

<img src="" width="287" height="238">

[alittlelark]

33. ROTFL!! I have never seen that one!

I'm gonna pass that one around!
Thanks!

[beam me up scottie]

35. You're welcome!

San Fran Chronicle has 3 of the best cartoonists in the world, IMO.
(and Mark Morford)

[alittlelark]

38. We only get the Chron on Sundays, The SJ Merc is our standard.

We get the NYT on Sunday too... it is a rare Sunday that I get through all 3.

[beam me up scottie]

42. Their toons are on the SFC website.

I check them every day.
When I lived in VT I used to walk down to the corner store at 7am to get the Sunday NYT, it took up my entire living room floor.
I live in a red state now, what's it like to be able to read REAL newspapers?

[alittlelark]

46. Very Cool. The SJ Merc is the paper that re-opened the Iran-Contra

issue, and exposed it as being on-going (about 5 years ago). The Merc is a real newspaper. I may not have time to read it all every morning, but I will subscribe to support it.

[beam me up scottie]

52. Are the park benches in CA comfortable?

I may seriously consider moving to one soon...

[alittlelark]

58. What is your skill set?

You could upgrade from bench to mini-studio!

Seriously... what is your skill-set?

[beam me up scottie]

65. No degree,

I work in insides sales now but I've done everything else under the sun at one time or another, loan officer, office manager, machine operator etc.
I would be happy just working for an animal shelter as long as I had a roof over my head.

[beam me up scottie]

54. See my post #44

above for another toon!
I love Meyer!

[dhinojosa]

28. If we get rid of republicans...us liberals will stop bitching and whining.

hahaha, hear me now and believe me later....you're an asshole!

[MisterP]

29. I always visualize him like Dr. Strangelove, his arm trying to give

the Nazi salute.
"Mayyn Fügheh, Ah kann vahk!"

[Montauk6]

30. Hey, Cali had their chance with Gary Coleman but noooooooo....

[buckup]

36. Dear lord...

If you're going to make a sexist joke, at least make it funny.

He is lame. Oh, and a bad governor, too. At least Gray Davis didn't economically screw students up the butt.

[jamesinca]

39. That is my governor

I am proud that he is a republican in CA. I like pointing that out to people, that he is a republican. I like pointing it out that he is the shining star of the republican party. I like pointing out that he is what republicans aspire to. I like pointing it out and I am proud to say he is my governor even though I did not vote for him. Go Arnold, keep talking!!

[Catherine Vincent]

41. How unprofessional!

I feel for you Californians. And to think some repukes want this goofball for President. Oh wait, look who they have now. Now I understand.

Idiots.

[roguevalley]

43. Fuck him. Fuck you, Nazi spawn. Fuck you.

[wellst0nev0ter]

47. Eh, Whatever Happens On Howard Stern Stays On Howard Stern

We all know what his rsponse is gonna be:



I'm just keeeeedeeeeeeng!

[ailsagirl]

48. Maria sure lucked out when she married that guy...

What a prize
:sarcasm:

[Bouncy Ball]

49. Please don't tell me he's actually stuck in the 15th fucking century

and actually BELIEVES the MOON controls women's menstrual cycles?

Please. Dear God.

HORMONES, they're HORMONES, you jackweed.

And it's called science, look into it.

[ailsagirl]

51. He's stuck... period. His brain is the size of a pea.

And he's "my" governator.

BLECCCCHHHHHHHHH
:puke:

[Pachamama]

53. Where's Lorena Bobbitt when you need her! Now that might be the solution

to get this asshole to shut up once and for all with his whining and moaning....

So when some woman whacks the little pecker off the big prick that he is, maybe that woman can take the defense of PMS and the Moon made her do it and even Ahnuld himself agrees with that theory....

:grr:

[shanti]

56. again????

(btw, he looks like a friggin vampire in that pic)

[EFerrari]

62. THANK YOU, GROPE, FOR DOING MY WORK FOR ME!

Piss off EVERY mentating woman in California! I think you missed two or three of us near Turlock!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[EFerrari]

63. Kick, because we should just be so grateful to this idiot.

[MontageOfFreedom]

68. Sorry but that joke is only funny if you live in the middle of....

A slime infested club somewhere, or no doubt Bill O'Reilly's regular croud.

How in the world can they claim to be conservative. Arnold isn't a conservative, or else the world is made of rubber glue in current times.

[EFerrari]

69. Welcome to Du, Montage.

on edit: sorry, it's late and so are my manners.

:hi:

[MontageOfFreedom]

70. Thanks for the effort. n/t

[pinniped]

71. Don't worry, tomorrow the Turdinator's handler will say he misspoke.

Bad English.

[truthisfreedom]

72. ahh-nold sure is getting a lot of practice apologizing lately. the GOP has

probably had their fill of his brand of stupidity now.

[brucefan]

74. Idon't think it was Arnold.

I didn't hear this one,but,Stern has a guy who calls in alot who does a dead-on impression of the govenator.

[Candide]

90. It was Stern's Arnold impersonator

He makes regular calls to the show, much like Stern's guest "Evil Dave Letterman"

[theHandpuppet]

76. You are who you vote for...

Just a turn on the old adage for those in Calif stupid enough to vote for this pig.

[Catfight]

77. Some people should have never been born. nt

[llmart]

78. Well, Ahhhnold if you t hink that's funny then how about this?

If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they put all of them there?

[zanne]

97. Now THAT'S funny! n/t

[TheUnspeakable]

79. Not that I enjoy defending Arnold, but.....

To be fair, this is SO taken out of context. Last week on Howard's show, he and Robin were having a silly argument about the moon. Howard had read some science report or something saying there would be great advantages to blowing up the moon (no tsunamis no hurricanes
some other crazy crap) it was all tongue in cheek! Then the next day they started it up again and Arnold happened to call the show and he was just going along with the joke. As much as I despise Republicans and everything they stand for, Arnold deserves a pass on this one.

[Massachusetts]

80. The wheels continue to loosen on the GOP bandwagon

This is great entertainment, keep it up RETHUGS! Wreckage to follow!

[onehandle]

81. "Heh, What a funny guy!"

"I'm going to vote for him."

That's what the average schlub is thinking in California.

Hate to say it, but the idiots of the state will "re"-elect their movie star Governor.

[warrior1]

83. arnie the ass

Since he's essentially a state worker like me he should know we have zero toleration for this kind of behavior.

[maxrandb]

84. When Does the Recall Start?

I am so sick of this. Maybe he's right. Maybe the Dems are just "girly men".

At least the repukes had enough balls to do the whole recall thing in California. How the frickin star-gazing people of CA elected this ass-pickle is beyond me.

If Dems had some passion about things, then this poor excuse for an actor would be doing a job that requires a name-tag.

Christ!

[AngryAmish]

85. What's wrong with being sexy?

[wndycty]

86. Before you bash on this one see this post, methinks this story is untrue

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3551913

[Doctor_J]

87. why did CA ever elect that idiot?

what an embarrassment. He'll be a perfect successor to *.

[fortyfeetunder]

91. Might as well let him be POTUS

Everything else is going to Hades in a handbasket with the current administration, there will be no worse harm with the Governator in charge.

[Robworld]

94. Did the true majority of California really vote for him?

He will win again because people are dumb. He is the Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight Governor. The thing I love about Governor Arnold, is the whole hypocrisy of Republican rhetoric on how bad Hollywood is, and how its destroying our country. I guess if that actor is a Republican its ok.

http://www.dumdumgoestothecircus.com/

[sendero]

89. I hope whoever wrote this article...

... is aware of the fact that an Arnold impersonator (a very good one at that) calls in regularly with this kind of patter.

Not to say that I can't imagine Arnold the Real saying such a thing, just that I haven't heard the real Arnold on Stern in a long time.

[Ilsa]

92. What a simpleton, perpetuating myth about women's health issues and

the moon instead of endocrinology. Asshole.

[Hobarticus]

93. Apparently Der Gropenfuhrer's planning early retirement...

Who the fuck lets him talk in public, at all?

[spooky3]

98. Poor Californians could have had Arianna but ended up with this.

[Javaman]

99. Yes, Virginia, he is that stupid.
