LOS ANGELES - A spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) said Sunday that the governor would not apologize for calling lawmakers "girlie men," despite criticisms from Democrats that the remark was sexist and homophobic.


Schwarzenegger dished out the insult at a rally Saturday as he claimed Democrats were delaying the budget by catering to special interests.


"If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers ... if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men," Schwarzenegger said to the cheering crowd at a mall food court in Ontario.


The governor lifted the term from a long-running "Saturday Night Live" skit in which two pompous, Schwarzenegger-worshipping weightlifters repeatedly use it to mock those who don't meet their standards of physical perfection.


Democrats said Schwarzenegger's remarks were insulting to women and gays and distracted from budget negotiations. State Sen. Sheila Kuehl said the governor had resorted to "blatant homophobia."


"It uses an image that is associated with gay men in an insulting way, and it was supposed to be an insult. That's very troubling that he would use such a homophobic way of trying to put down legislative leadership," said Kuehl, one of five members of the Legislature's five-member Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus.

So now a quote lifted from an obvious satire is homophobia? Give me a break. If you notice, though, nobody is disagreeing with his statement...just his terminology. If you substitute the words 'girlie men' for the word 'wimp', which basically means the same thing, I wonder how many would argue his point instead of his phrasology...

Democrats are a bunch of snot-nosed, sissy, crybaby wusses!

Ahnold rocks! I suppose he could've used the uncomplimentary "pencil-necked geeks" and no one would whine.

Kinda strange though that the gays and the metrosexuals in Cali are throwing a hissy fit about being called "girlie men". Must be the "men" part that has them in such a snit.
 
Pay attention:

Whoopi gets fired & it's an outrage that she can't speak freely. Arnold calls the Dems girlie-men & it's homophobic. Dr Laura was driven off TV because of GLAAD.
