Schwarzenegger Calls Dems 'Girlie Men'
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Sunday that the governor would not apologize for calling lawmakers "girlie men," despite criticisms from Democrats that the remark was sexist and homophobic.
Schwarzenegger dished out the insult at a rally Saturday as he claimed Democrats were delaying the budget by catering to special interests.
"If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers ... if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men," Schwarzenegger said to the cheering crowd at a mall food court in Ontario.
The governor lifted the term from a long-running "Saturday Night Live" skit in which two pompous, Schwarzenegger-worshipping weightlifters repeatedly use it to mock those who don't meet their standards of physical perfection.
Democrats said Schwarzenegger's remarks were insulting to women and gays and distracted from budget negotiations. State Sen. Sheila Kuehl said the governor had resorted to "blatant homophobia."
And it's true - if they can't have the cajones to stand up and tell their constituents that they're being whimps and stalling, then they ARE girlie-men.
Tell it like it is Governor!

But we always knew California was a little strange anyway, so this is par for the course. What's next? Asta la vista, baby?

|| Posted by jaws, July 19, 2004 07:56 PM ||What's all the commotion about? In my opinion this was a satrical reference to well-known and oft-repeated phrases, one from Saturday Night Live and the other from the Terminator.
I think maybe it's time for all of us, the left and the right, to relax a little and stop getting our knickers in a twist every time someone from the other side makes a satirical comment.
