SchwartzenWatcher Ain't Gonna Play Sun City
At a question and answer session in front of an organization of African-American ministers near downtown Sacramento, Phil Angelides went back-back-back-back-back to say something nasty about the Governator in an attempt to stir things up. After telling the audience that Arnie doesn't care about black people, he said he can prove it because, back in the day, Arnie allegedly was pro-Apartheid. Cue reactions of shock mixed in with whole heaping bits of "wha?"
The accusations, which have been floating around for years, came from a quote in an unauthorized biography of the big lunk. Here's the quote that's stirring all this: "According to Rick Wayne, who is black, when they discussed apartheid, Arnold said he thought South Africa was right, saying things like, 'If you gave these blacks a country to run, they would run it down the tube.'" Again, this is one quote in one book by one person. Not exactly the equivalent of calling someone obscure racist terms on YouTube. And not exactly something current, like something the Governor said in the past twenty years or so.
Angelides also threw out a bunch of quotes from 1990 from Schwarzenegger in which Arnie admitted that he looks down on people who are "waiting, who are helpless" and that he's down with power and authority. Well, of course he is, he's Austrian. All Germany has to do is say march on Poland and the Austrians say okalee-dokalee.
Okay, the charges are spurious at best and as we all know, anything Arnie said or did in the 70's or 80's should be taken with a grain of salt mainly because he was nothing but a steroid-abusing, dope-smoking, sex-addicted, wannabe Hollywood star. You've seen the picture. Also of note is how Phil can't even do this bit of trash throwing correctly. Everybody knows you have operatives, flunkies, and lackeys say stuff like this instead of the candidate so the candidate can pretend they had nothing to do with it and pretend to condemn it even though they're behind it all in the first place. See Boat, Swift.
Of much bigger concern, though, has to be Arnie not attending the meeting himself, always bad form, and then having his spokesperson break down in tears when the meeting got a little huffy. That never looks good when an aide brings the tears at a Q and A.
