Feedback & Nominations

Arnold? Not a Jew

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-op-bardach4jan04,0,6963308.story

"So let us honor and applaud the Top Moron of 2003.

GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

It was strange enough when the guv announced that he was conducting an investigation into his sex life after 16 women alleged he had sexually harassed them and the National Enquirer published a story (denied by Schwarzenegger) that he had fathered a child outside of his marriage. But stranger still was his abrupt cancellation of the investigation just weeks after his election, with the explanation, "It's time to move on." That alone would have guaranteed the former bodybuilder a spot on this list. But we also appreciate his eloquence on the thorny issue of gay marriage: "I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman." Thanks for clearing everything up, governor."
