I was being hyperbolic, certainly. After all, if Arnie can do it (since we know those legislators aren't literally "girlie-men," which I suppose would be hermaphradites), so can I.
But the point is that, given Arnie's past history with sleazy, sexist behavior, I don't see why anyone should be surprised by the comment.

Believe that "The only thing we know for sure is that he fooled around with women who consented?" Um, yeah, because it's a fact...unless you were there at the time and know something we all don't?
quote: All these women say that he groped them and they are all "nuts and sluts" (to use the Clinton defense against the allegations). |
Curiously, the same defense envoked by Schwarzenegger...but that's besides the point. "All these women?" I'm only aware of two, Jones and the woman who claimed something happened in the WH. And neither were particularly credible, IMO. Especially not the latter one.

Paula Jones, Katherine Willy, Juanita Broadrick... so you suscribe to the 'nuts and sluts' I see? When a woman makes an allegation about being groped, especially by a famous person, where her whole life will be dragged through the mud (look what they did to Paula Jones), I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. |
I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton had sex with Jones and Broadrick (Willey was obviously making **** up, IMO--I don't think Clinton ever touched her), but I seriously doubt the allegations of any force on his part. Indeed, Broadrick failed a polygraph test on the issue of being raped. She also filed an affidavit about the matter claiming it never happened, only to change her story later.
And again, this is all unproven. Arnie's gropes are known fact.

Why? "Nuts and Sluts"? Are they all lying? And you do know of the reliability, or should I say unreliability of polygraph tests, right? For example, they aren't allowed to be used in a court of law. |
That wasn't the only thing damaging her credibility (i.e. the affidavit). Notice that the allegations against Clinton didn't come out until the impeachment affair was going on, and people came out of the woodwork. The same thing happened to Arnie, if you'll recall. At least a dozen women coming out and alleging things from harrassment to sexual assault to rape. Do you hold them to the same standard?
An if polygraph tests are so unreliable, why do prosecutors (like Ken Starr, who wanted Clinton to so one) like to use them so much? Maybe because they're a useful tool, even if inadmissable? Lots of evidence is inadmissable, doesn't mean it's useless or completely unreliable.
Regardless, this isn't about Clinton. Clinton is an alleged sex offender, certainly. But Arnie is an admitted one.

But you used the word criminal, meaning should be locked up. Just pointing out that if you thought that about Arnie, there would be plenty of others who'd be joining them, including, IMO, our former President. |
Try reading next time.
