Incidents from Schwarzenegger's past raised in campaign
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/10/03/state1434EDT0082.DTL

The Associated Press

Arnold Schwarzenegger has faced questions about his treatment of women during his career as a bodybuilder and Hollywood star. Some stem from statements he made, while others are based on allegations from women who worked or had come into contact with Schwarzenegger.

...

The incidents include:

...

* Since the Times article, two more women have gone public. Colette Brooks, 45, said she encountered Schwarzenegger when she was an intern for television network and was escorting him to a sound stage 25 years ago. "I was ahead of him and he said to me 'nice ass,"' Brooks said. "He then proceeded to put his hand in that area of my anatomy." Brooks said she was "mortified" but didn't complain for fear of losing her job.

* Gail Escobar, 41, told The Associated Press Thursday night that Schwarzenegger threatened to rape her in 1978, when she was 16. She said she and a friend were taken by another bodybuilder from a Santa Monica coffee shop into a parking garage where Schwarzenegger said "We're going to rape you girls tonight."

"I couldn't get away. Finally his friends released me. I was scared to death," said Escobar, explaining that she didn't go public earlier because she didn't think people would be interested in her story.

3. One sick man
I never thought he was great actor but I liked some of his movies. I doubt I will ever be able to watch any of his movies again. I wonder how many other people feel the same way. I hope that this election not only destroys his political career but his acting career as well.
