Arnold Wants to Flush Arianna in a Toilet
By Byron LaMasters
Yeah, seriously:
"I have been in hundreds of debates and I have never been treated like I was by Arnold Schwarzenegger tonight," Huffington said.
[...]
When Schwarzenegger attempted to interrupt Huffington early on and eventually just spoke over her, she said: "This is the way you treat women, we know that."
It was one of the sharpest lines of the evening, because of allegations that Schwarzenegger's past statements and behavior reveal a sexist attitude.
Given a chance to respond, the action star said: "I would just like to say that I just realized I have a perfect part for you in Terminator 4."
Huffington said after the debate she took that to mean Schwarzenegger was comparing her to a female character in the last Terminator movie whose head he dunked in a toilet.
"The point I'm making is when I'm speaking and he refuses to give way and he makes a Terminator 4 reference about sticking a woman's head in the toilet, that is what I am talking about," Huffington said.

Huffington is a talking puppet anyway. First she said she wouldn't run if a major Democrat got on the ticket. Then she rails against corporations using tax loopholes while she pays diddly in state and federal taxes living the life of a millionaire.
She was baiting everyone tonight looking for the cheap laugh, any shot she got from Arnold was well deserved.
Any shread of respect I had for her went away a long time ago.
I'm not particularly a fan of Huffington. She's a self-serving socialite turned liberal. I personally felt like she came across as pretty shril throughout the debate, but that wasn't my point. Arnold could have handled the situation much better by talking about his wife / family, etc. I think his answer / joke, while funny on the surface, will do little to help him with women.
Well I dont see that one crack other than being extremely funny. The audience speaks volumes about how the general public would react to that interchange. They booed when Arianna took her cheap shot and and laughed hysterically with Arnold's retort. Apparently the polls show this too - just check out the CNN/Gallup poll today.
