By whining, they prove that they are "girlie men"

Schwarzenegger Provokes Anger With 'Girlie-Men' Remark
VOA News
19 Jul 2004, 12:59 UTC


Some California legislators are angry with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
after he referred to them as "girlie-men" during a speech on Saturday.
The movie star-turned-politican used the term to describe opposition
Democrats he said who are too weak to stand up to unions and trial lawyers
demanding changes in the governor's state budget proposal.

The phrase comes from an old television comedy routine where two
Schwarzengger-like bodybuilders use it to mock those who lack their
bulging muscles.

Several Democratic lawmakers say the remark was insulting to women and
homosexuals. State Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez said the comment was
"beneath the governor."

But a Schwarzenegger spokesman says the comment was the governor's way of
saying that legislators are "wimps" (weaklings) by giving into special
interest groups.

(From the AP report)

Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, a Democrat, said that while he wasn't upset
by the remark, his 13-year-old daughter was.

"She's a young girl who knows the governor and really likes him a lot and
didn't find the term to be a positive term, and finds it to be
derogatory," Nunez said. "It was no question a very, very insensitive
comment to make. I personally am not intimidated or threatened by it, but
I think it really is beneath Gov. Schwarzenegger."


(Yeah, you gotta feel secure with a having a male government leader using
a 13 year old girl as a model for his behavior)

Yet when celebrities (i.e., non-government employees) give Bush similar
treatment (name calling, etc.) at a fund raiser, the RNC flies into a rage and
demands copies of the video so they can try to sue the private citizens
involved. No double standard there, huh.

Interesting... your reply is a non-sequiter and attempt to change the
subject (which is that the California Democrats are a bunch of wusses...
"girlie men" in Arnold speak) when presented with proof positive of
their whining.

Ah, but did he liken them to military aircraft? This newsgroup
isn'yt galled rec.men.girlie, in case you haven't noticed.

Were there any military aircraft in the comedy routine?

Several Democratic lawmakers say the remark was insulting to women and

I don't suppose the speaker made any allusion to military aircraft,
by any chance?

But a Schwarzenegger spokesman says the comment was the governor's way of
saying that legislators are "wimps" (weaklings) by giving into special

Is there any military aviation content to this post at all?
