Arnold responds to Palast charges
"While the California press is reluctant to challenge the Austrian dumbbell lifter on anything more significant than his palm print on some females' behinds, one reader of our report below confronted Schwarzenegger. Friday, at a staged event in front of the Von's supermarket in Bakersfield, Referring to the disclosure in [Palast's] column (which would have been well known to the candidate by that time), she shouted, 'He's in bed with Kenny Lay, you idiots! It's your money!' There was dead silence for a beat, then came the voice through the loudspeakers, 'I suhtunly wasn't in bet wit YOU!' (While Arnold's proud new boorishness was a hit with the yahoos, the Terminator was stopped dead by his interlocutor's comeback which is simply too brilliant, dead-on accurate, and salacious to repeat on a family website.)"
