Arnold - Serve Time in Jail Before Office

[Berzerker]

Statute of limitations.

Which does not absolve someone of hypocrisy.

Fluuber - it was pot and Arnold said so and has admitted "inhaling" in the past.

Pekka - I didn't say Arnold or anyone else should be prohibited from holding office, just that they should accept for themselves what they want for others. He, Dubya, and every other politician who has used illegal drugs should take their own medicine before dishing it out to others. If I murdered someone, it isn't hypocrisy for me to want other murderers punished as long as I'm punished too...

[Tuberski]

Hypocrisy isn't punishable by jail time.

ACK!

[Sava]

Berz, I doubt Arnold is vehemently anti-pot... judging from his history, I think he probably would support full legalization, but he has to pander... he is a Republican, remember...

[Berzerker]

Hypocrisy isn't punishable by jail time.

But pot use may be, certainly it's subject to judicial proceedings. But I have to withdraw my accusation since I lack the moral authority to make it, i.e., I'm being hypocritical. I've done plenty of things for which I was not punished and never turned myself in while supporting the illegality of those actions...

[Tuberski]

I hear ya, Berz, I hear ya.

ACK!

My theory all along is that this is campaign is valuable for the very reason that all this crap (his father, pot smoking, adultery) becomes neutralized for the next campaign. It gives him a chance to have the press air his dirty laundry in a campaign in which there is little shame if he loses.

[Berzerker]

I don't know John, if he can't win in this situation, I doubt he could win in a regular election cycle. Alot depends on what McClintock does since he's taking a potential ~dozen points from Arnie. If Cruz wins and the situation deteriorates, Mary Carey might stand a chance

[JohnT]

Oh, I think that if he loses this he can still easily run for Mayor of LA, Gov in 2006, or (possibly, depending upon the Constitution) Representative or Senator even if he loses this one. Davis is successfully pitching the upcoming vote as a referendum on the recall process itself, and it looks like (from here in TN at least) that his terms are sticking.

Like, gag me with a spoon. If I want to get off, I just watch Fight Club.

[Ramo]

What's a politician without hypocrisy?

[Pekka]

Berz, hey I know what you meant, don't worry .

[iamlod]

TUBERSKI, stop with the ' ACK!'

[Ben Kenobi]

PTHBBPPPTTT!!!!

[Chemical Ollie]

Is there a similar discussion about the background of Democrat candidate Larry Flynt?

It's the yellow rubber kitchen glove isn't it?
