The picture above shows Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria in happier times, before his stunning admission that he had fathered a child with a household employee and was paying support for his care.
When interviewed. Schwarznegger said that he had apologized to Maria and his children as well as extended family members on both sides. Way to go, Arnold! Your "I'm sorry" carries as much weight as Florida Governor Rick Scott's saying that he takes responsibility for the medicare fraud perpetrated by Columbia/HCA under his watch. Take that to mean, "My board ousted me with a $300 million goodbye before the company paid a $1.7 billion fine, so what do I have to lose in taking responsibility? " How much depth shall we attribute to Arnold's apology?
Maria lost her mother in 2009 and her father the next year. This will make three years in a row she has endured wrenching personal losses. The fact that Arnold allowed his lover to continue working for the family long after she gave birth to her child exacts a particularly low blow in this sordid affair. Schwarzenneger's betrayal shows a total lack of respect for his family and his marital vows. Stick a big cigar in your .......mouth, Arnold and puff away in your usual swaggering fashion. You have much in which to take pride. Now you have subjected your wife and children to the glare of media frenzy that follows such an annoucement. Maria's plea to the media for privacy has made little difference in exacting what she requested. Good luck on finding privacy in all this.
The only other announcement of this kind that emerges as more heinous than Schwarzenegger's is John Edward's long-procrastinatd admission that he had fathered a child with Rielle Hunter, a former campaign worker. Despite the fact that his wife Elizabeth had incurable cancer, he continued his denials until forced to tell the truth by the mounting pile of evidence amassed by the media. The fact that Maria Shriver is not suffering from a debilitating illness does not let Schwarzenegger of the hook for his foul deed. He seems to allow his lower brain to guide him in this type of decision. Trust me, I'm not letting the woman with whom he had an affair off the hook, as long as she had some choice in the matter, but Arnold's reputation as a "groper" coupled with his recent admission makes him one of the greatest louts of all time. Shame on you, Arnold!
