“I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.”
Yes, back in 2003, actor turned GOP politician Arnold Schwarzenegger made the aforementioned verbal blunder.
He spoke a lot more eloquently on the issue on Friday in Los Angeles.
“I’m very happy that they made the right decision because we in California of course are always a step ahead,” he said, giving a self-congratulatory shout-out to the 2008 legalization of same-sex marriage the state passed during his second term in office. “We made that decision already, a long time ago. Our Supreme Court of California decided that it’s unconstitutional to deny gay or same-sex couples marriage.”
“Everyone has equal rights,” continued the former Republican governor, who twice vetoed gay marriage legislation during his tenure before softening his stance on same-sex unions. “So this is the right way to go, and I think it’s a great celebration for America.”
“Sometimes, I have to say, judges and the judiciary system make better decisions than the politicians,” he said. “Sadly, they are not really having the balls sometimes to lead and work together on these issues.”

With apologies to Tom McClintock.

Meaningful earthquake preparedness time . . . this is all last days stuff.

He’s a fake republican and he was a lousy governor.
I always suspected that about men who spent hours in front of mirrors and other men posing.
He’s living proof that California lost its mind in the last few decades and elections.. smug unadorned proof.
