Schwarzenegger Reveals He Had a Child With a Member of Household Staff

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, separated after the former governor revealed he had fathered a child with a member of their household staff, The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
The couple announced in a joint statement May 9 that they had separated after 25 years of marriage. The Times reported Tuesday that Shriver moved out of the family’s Brentwood mansion earlier this year after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the child is his.
“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement issued to the newspaper. “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.
“I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time,” the statement concluded. “While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.”
A spokesman for Schwarzenegger did not immediately return a phone call and e-mail from The Associated Press early Tuesday. A spokesman for the former first lady told the Times she had no comment.
The Times did not publish the former staffer’s name nor that of her child, but said the staff member worked for the family for 20 years and retired in January.
In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man — her husband at the time — was the child’s father. She said she voluntarily left her position with the couple “on good terms.”
When the Times later informed the woman of the governor’s statement, she declined to comment further.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 8:44amShe is referring to a conservative voter who knows that a politician has liberal leanings but votes for him anyway just because he is a Republican.
Beyond that, if you are a liberal, then you possibly don’t understand why conservatives might not appreciate a politician committing adultery as long as he does his job politically. Here is something then that you might understand: If instead of adultery, a politician had molested a child, would liberals object to him then and consider him unfit for office? Probably so. What this reveals is that, deep down, adultery isn‘t all that bad to liberals and explains why they don’t think it is an issue when deciding if a politician is fit for office.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 9:41amArnold learned his “family values” from his in-laws the Kennedy clan. Mrs Schwarzenegger’s grandfather Joe Kennedy started the Kennedy family philandering tradition and her uncles JFK, Bobby, and Teddy wrote the book on politicians who were serial philanderers who used and abused women and in Teddy’s case killed a one night stand back in 1969.

Jesse Jackson also fathered a child out of wedded bliss, Rep Mel Reyolds did it with a minor pardoned by our cigar loving friend, and don’t forget about one of your same sex guys Gerry Studds.
