Legions of Shriver supporters say future is bright

California's former first lady Maria Shriver has made it her hallmark to celebrate women as "architects of change" - but the author, activist, journalist and mother of four always offered a more circumspect view of herself as simply "a work in progress."

What comes next for Shriver - personally, professionally and politically - may now be played out on the public stage in the wake of the scandal involving her husband, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who last week admitted having a child with a housekeeper more than a decade ago while married to Shriver. The couple announced their separation earlier this month.

"She has one of the strongest personal and professional 'brands' out there - and that's something to her eternal credit," said author and business communications expert Ruth Sherman, a former faculty member of the Women's Campaign School at Yale University.

The usual demrat group (in this case sex) politics. This woman is about as relevant as three tits on a boar. I seem to recall Aaahnold saying he sought out Shriver’s advice on everything—and heeded it. Doesn’t that make her complicit in the demise of the once mighty State of kallifornia?

“...relevant as three tits on a boar...”

I believe the correct saying goes, “as worthless as tits on a boar.”

it does go back a few generations, you understand!

However, since you brought it up, the saying does match quite a few in politics these days, starting at the top!!

"She doesn't look much different to me than when she hooked up with Arnie."

I know that everyone concerned was considerably younger, but she seemed to have had a healthy appetite in those days. Starting with her marriage she seemed to get thinner and thinner to the point that she has for sometime looked unwell.
