Arnold: Serial Groper, Spanker, etc.
By Byron LaMasters
It started with six women, now it's fifteen:
Four more women have come forward to say that Arnold Schwarzenegger fondled, spanked, touched and physically restrained them in unwanted encounters that left them scared or humiliated. The incidents took place between 1979 and 2000.
In all, 15 women have now accused the Republican candidate of sexual harassment.
Among the women who told their stories Saturday were: a 51-year-old woman who said Schwarzenegger pinned her to his chest and spanked her in 2000; Tamee Smith, 46, who said he held her and grabbed her breast in 1986; Jan Prinzmetal, 50, who said reached under her skirt and grabbed her bare buttocks in the mid-1980s; and Elizabeth Rothner, 45, who said he lifted her sweatshirt in 1979 and exposing her bare breasts.
The candidate's spokesman, Sean Walsh, said Schwarzenegger said three accounts were untrue and he had no recollection of the other.
That's hilarious. Deny what's not true, but have "no recollection" of the true incidents. I only wish that this would have come out earler. Coming out in the final week of the campaign gives it the appearance as a cordinated smear attack, which is unfortunate since that is not the case, especially if the allegations are, as I suspect, true.
No on Recall, Yes on Bustamante! The GOP power grabs and dirty tricks can END Tuesday. Let's kick their ass.
