This, hands down, is the best piece about the recall yet:
Yet, by election eve, liberals had worked themselves into quite a self-deluding and frenzied lather. The same apologists for Clinton

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.
The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.
There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.
The worst democrat is better than the best republican.
The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.
Optimism opens the door to great things.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.
They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.
Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.
You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.
If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.
So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.
Innocent people do not delay justice.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.
The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.
Tick tock motherfuckers!
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

It’s disturbing the number of people who can’t understand the difference between adultery and sexual assault. Neither is laudable, but the former is not a public matter. The latter most assuredly is.

It is disturbing the number of people who can not distinguish the difference between sexual assault and 30 year old unproven allegations of sexual assault. Not to mention those who could not determine the difference between adultery and perjury, and ran around saying pithy things like “This is just about sex.”
BTW- Jones, Willey, and Broderick and others were not accusing Clinton of adultery. Theat was Gennifer and Monica. I know- so many names- you are excused for mixing them all up.
Lots of disturbing stuff out there.

There was the matter of the video clip of Arnold sexually assaulting a woman on a talk show.
John Cole
I still have never seen this – not even a picture of it, and I heard conflicting reports. You have links?
Kimmitt
I have pics, but not a ton of context.

Kimmitt:
By what definition does the sequence of pictures indicate sexual assault?
Without context, I think that you are walking the line of potential slander to suggest that that is “sexual assault.”

I did not know Jon Stewart was such a partisan. And if I had to guess his party affiliation, it would not have been Republican. Though he does talk about rimming a lot on his show…(Clinton didn’t actualy do that, did he? Wait, don’t answer that. Some things are better left unknown).
What I’m trying to say is, the beloved host of the Daily Show didn’t write the article. Change the attribution

That’s “sexual assault”, Kimmy?
Heck, by that definition, I spent most of my life between the age of 14 and 28 as a serial rapist – ROFL!
“But look! He’s touching her hip! And notice the look of dread on her face! A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH! BURN HIM!!!”

Perhaps the reason Dreier didn’t point and shoot at Arnold is because Arnold’s transgressions were in his youth (not to mention already documented publicly in many low brow magazines througout the years) whereas Billy Boy got a knob job while on “active duty” as our so called leader. Don’t get me wrong, I think Arnold loves copping a feel and asking for the eye candy just because he can..and THEY do!
There is no evidence that Arnold ISN’T a great family man and father. He’s grown up over the years and until he screws it up in the present tense, he gets the vote. I don’t think in the 8 years of Clinton the term “great family man and father” were ever used, unless it was on Leno or Lettermans opening stand up.

1) Sexual assault isn’t rape, you microencephalitic goon.
2) It would not surprise me at all if you spent a lot of your years between 14 and 28 committing (especially borderline) sexual assaults.
The pics in question do not lay down definitively what happened — I’d want transcripts of the show and info on what transpired afterward. What they do show is that Schwartzenegger is comfortable groping women in public, which is relevant to two discussions: why the folks who were all a-twitter about Clinton banging an intern due to their high moral values are backing this guy, and whether or not women who come forward to discuss allegations against Arnold have credibility.

Slander the only thing in your toolkit Kimmitt? Your comments – together with the wilful malice you demonstrate – approach the legal definition of slander even for a public figure like Arnold.

Kimmitt:
There are no words. What I see is two adults engaged in horseplay. The fact that they are reclining on a bed for this “show” sure looks like the rules are a tad less formal than the high-school debate team. Big Fat Hairy Deal.
And this is what your side doesn’t get. Most of the country (men and women) hasn’t had a life time of gender indoctrination courses, and just isn’t going to see things your way.

Arnold’s less than fine start: he asked Gray Davis to stop naming persons to state commissions and signing bills approved by the Legislature. Now, he has a (small) point on the commissioners, although those have always been turkey farms for outgoing governors to keep some faithful retainers from unemployment. But since the Legislature is not in session, the bills would become law tomorrow ANYWAY (California doesn’t use the pocket veto).
“Oh sure, I knew that.”
When the budget comes around, I think we’ll find many others things Arnold didn’t know.
