I knew Rush when he was in college. He was a fat ass then and still is. But he's made a ton of money pandering to his demographic audience. He's no different than Howard Stern, he just has a different audience. I'm glad they canned his ass.... Ever since Clinton left office he's had nothing to bitch about and his audience has been shrinking.
btw, anyone hear what Ahnuld finally said to today in response to 6 women who've complained of his groping of them on movie sets? (amazing they waited until now, what a coincidence!) - what a fvcking zoo California is!
Schwarzenegger Apologizes for 'Bad' Behavior
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Saying he has changed his ways, California recall candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger (search) apologized Thursday for offending any women who claim he had sexually harassed them.
"I have offended people, and to those people who I have offended I am deeply sorry about that and I apologize because that is not what I tried to do," Schwarzenegger said in a rally in San Diego.
Allegations surfaced Thursday in the Los Angeles Times by six women who accused the Republican action star of groping them on movie sets and in other settings over the last three decades.
Schwarzenegger said that harassment charges are untrue, but added that "where there's smoke there's fire, that is true, so I want to say yes, I have behaved badly.
"Yes, it is true that I was on rowdy movie sets and I have done things that were not right which I thought then was playful but now I recognize that I offended people," he added.
Schwarzenegger has been leading polls in the race to replace California Democratic Gov. Gray Davis (search). The election is being held on Tuesday.
Responding in the paper's report on Thursday, Schwarzenegger campaign spokesman Sean Walsh accused Democrats of launching a political attack in the closing days of the race.
"We believe Democrats and others are using this to try to hurt Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign," Walsh said. "We believe that this is coming so close before the election, something that discourages good, hard-working, decent people from running for office."
But Democratic strategist Joe Cerrell (search) told Fox News that efforts to pin the story on Schwarzenegger's opponents won't hold up since Schwarzenegger admitted poor conduct. He added that Schwarzenegger's team has been preparing for the news and by apologizing, Schwarzenegger is trying to get on top of the story.
"It hurts them an awful lot," Cerrell said, adding that "the best defense [for Schwarzenegger] is a good offense."
The women in the article all charged that Schwarzenegger had touched their breast or butt, or made untoward sexual advances. Two of the six women in the article allowed their names to be revealed, but none had ever filed a complaint against the former bodybuilder with the state, employers or police.
One of the women in the story is an ex-wife of a former body builder who had a falling out with Schwarzenegger. She claimed the incident happened 28 years ago. Another woman, a British television host, claimed Schwarzenegger touched her breast after an interview. That took place in 2000.
Schwarzenegger shocked the crowd in San Diego, where he was kicking off a four-day bus tour of the state in the final weekend before the election. The crowd, some of whom were quoted prior to Schwarzenegger's apology saying they did not believe the report, were cheering and clapping as Schwarzenegger started his mea culpa by saying that he is confident "the people of California will see through this trash politics."
But Schwarzenegger then apologized, saying that "a lot of the stuff in the story is not true" and he never intended to harm anyone.
A spokesman for Davis' campaign said they were not involved in publicizing any of the story, including one woman who tried to remove her bathing suit in a hotel elevator, and another who said Schwarzenegger pulled her onto his lap and asked whether a certain sexual act had ever been performed on her.
Outside the center, two Democratic Party activists protested Schwarzenegger. One held up the front page of the Los Angeles Times with the article on the alleged harassment.
