ABCNEWS SPIKES INTERVIEW WITH SCHWARZENEGGER ASSOCIATE; RACIST COMMENT COMES BACK TO HAUNT CANDIDATE

**World Exclusive**

ABC NEWS has spiked an interview with a close associate of Arnold Schwarzenegger who went on camera and accused the California gubernatorial candidate of making racist comments back in the 1970s, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Charges of past racist comments by Schwarzenegger were leveled by Rick Wayne, a former bodybuilding star who is now the publisher of the St. Lucia Star.

Wayne, who is black, told ABC NEWS that Schwarzenegger made the comments regarding South Africa's former Apartheid system:

"If you gave these blacks a country to run, they would run it down the tubes."

The interview was taped and set for airing but was spiked, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

1. Too bad all of this is coming out so early

Leaves too much time for the pubbies to recover with someone sane, like Ueberoth

[David__77]

8. I think there's plenty...

plenty left to be revealed. Ueberroth? I don't think so. More likely McClintock would FORCE the GOP to support him, which is really possible. If GOP activists were to vote, I suspect he would win.

2. I know it sounds weird but......

Drudge has actually been kind of "fair and balanced" for the last couple months. I'm going to go wash my hands now.

3. Uh oh!

Perhaps this is the reason Arnold has declined to participate in the California gubernatorial debate...or, is it because of his comments to 'Oui'?

:think:

4. Drudge really does not like Schwartzenegger

Nobody is scrutinizing Davis and Bustamante anymore, including the religious right, which is now apparently obsessed with S**********'s penis.

5. Wonder if any women will step forward?

Wonder if that black woman involved in the gangbang is still around?

6. Moving To GD

until we have a better source than Drudge

7. ABC

How very kind and thoughtful of ABC to keep muscle-man's embarassment level to a minimum.

9. The Mickey Mouse Network wants a Mickey Mouse Governor!

This should lay to rest once and for all Bernie Goldberg's charges that ABC News is packed with liberals!

10. I think the Arnold announcement was unexpected

and he had really decided not to run. I think he was called upon to create a needed distraction. I distinctly remember that one of the things it did was push Al Gore's speech off the radar. It was barely covered on tv at all and was pushed off the front pages of the newspapers. Arnold is so egotistical that he began to take the thing seriously. I never thought he would win and I still don't think he will win.

What concerns me is that the media has a habit of telling us who will win so that when it "happens" we expected that it would happen so we don't ask any questions.

11. Remember

Hillary's supposed anti-semitic remark detailed in that sleazy bio of her by that sleazy National Enquirer-Star-Globe reporter? It was a twenty year old ALLEGED remark and the source of the story had a huge ax to grind. And it was in a book that wasn't considered a serious piece of work - it was a gossipy, headed-for-the-dollar-bin peice of fluff.
That certainly didn't keep ABC, NBC, CNN and all the newspapers from dissecting that supposed incident in excruciating detail. It was yet another Clinton pseudo-sandal that just had to be analyzed to show the public the true nature of the Clintons.

The stuff the press has overlooked with Arnold - starting with his piggish behavior toward women is shocking!

:mad:

12. ABC defending Arnold? If this was a Democrat they would be attacking

The liberal media coming to Arnold's defense yet again!
