La Quinta, Calif. -- Teachers aides and parents are angry about Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia allegedly telling students at La Quinta High School that she wouldn't kick Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger out of her bed.
Garcia made the comment on Oct. 10 during an impromptu visit to an economics class, according to two adults aides in the classroom at the time.
"I was appalled," Leah Aguilar, a classroom aide present during Garcia's visit told The Desert Sun. "I couldn't believe what was coming out of her mouth, that she was talking to students like this."
Added fellow aide Kathy Larsen: "It wasn't very appropriate. Even if she thought that, he is a married man."
Garcia, R-Cathedral City, apologized Sunday without confirming the remark.
In a prepared statement, she said the controversy was sexist and a politically motivated personal attack by a school employees union that supports her opponent, Palm Desert Democrat Steve Clute, in the Nov. 7 election.
She called her discussion with the La Quinta students "engaging, frank and light-hearted," on topics pertaining to her work, California government and Schwarzenegger.
"If anyone was offended by the silly questions asked and the joking answers I gave, I sincerely apologize," Garcia said in the statement.

Do comments "draws"? Sheesh, fire that editor.
But rapes and BJ's are ok of governors and POTUS's...
The teacher's union must be offended that anyone would endorse a Republican in a public school classroom. How did they allow THAT to happen?
Well, this wasn't in front of a bunch of high school kids but it was pretty tasteless nonetheless:
“I would be happy to give Bill Clinton a blow job just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs." --TIME magazine and former reporter, Nina Burleigh.
I think the ladies doth protest way too much.
