Schwarzenegger according to Steyn

[Abdul Alhazred]

The opinion of a Canadian living in New Hampshire:

As I predicted two months ago, Arnie will be governor (http://www.portal.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2003/10/04/do0403.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2003/10/04/ixop.html)

From "The Telegraph"

Sample:
The Democratic Party may no longer be able to find a
California governor mediocre enough to avoid
getting recalled or a time-serving hack minimally
competent enough to replace him, but by golly it still
knows how to spring the ol'
weekend-before-polling-day surprise.

At the same point in the 2000 presidential election,
a story about an ancient drunk-driving conviction by
George W. Bush hit the headlines and drove just
enough still undecided voters into the Gore camp to
make it a cliffhanger election.

This time round, instead of DWI (Driving While
Intoxicated), it was GWF (Groping While Famous).
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Times ran an
exhaustive account of Arnold Schwarzenegger's
wandering hands over the past 30 years, as told by
six women, four of whom preferred to remain
anonymous. One of the remaining two is a British
television "personality". That leaves precisely one
named US citizen, who claims Arnold touched her left
breast. In 1975. Not a lot to show for months of
opposition research.



OK, UK folks out there, what kind of paper is "The Telegraph"?

Hmmm... one post by the author and it has five stars, let's see what happens if I give it one.

[peptoabysmal]

Damn if it didn't come out to three.

No biggie. As I have said elsewhere in these forums, I have a policy of giving any thread I post on (originator or no) five stars.

In truth I think the whole business of rating threads is silly, and that is the point.

Meanwhile, what do you think of what I posted? Any thoughts?

It's regularly dubbed the "Torygraph".

The Telegraph should do a little better research themselves. There are several named sources. (http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&postid=1870121800&highlight=anonymous#post1870121800)

Is the Torygraph the same paper with the notorious "page three girls" that Rupert Murdoch brought to the New York Post? And apparently had to tone down, as the New York Post girls are wearing full bikinis.

This is America, buddy. You don't show tits without first paying for the proper license.

Or do all the UK papers have tits? I like that.

No, the Torygraph isn't one of the papers with page 3 girls, that would be the tabloids like The Sun and The Daily Star. The Telegraph fancies itself above such things, while actually being a near-worthless rag.

If you really want porn, there's always the Daily Sport, which is loaded with topless photos and blatantly false stories. No doubt it's great fun to write.

Does anyone claim to read it "just for the articles"?
