I'm all for focusing on issues as opposed to personal poo, but breaking your promises to do so is lame.

| Schwarzenegger Won't Conduct Own Probe Tue Dec 9, 4:57 AM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! By TIM MOLLOY, Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) has dropped a plan to conduct his own investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against him, a spokesman said. "Upon consulting with legal counsel and advisers, the governor has concluded that given the political nature of the allegations, an investigation would only be ridiculed by his political opponents and provide little opportunity to put this issue to rest," Rob Stutzman said Monday. After the October election but before Schwarzenegger took office, Stutzman announced that the governor-elect had already decided to engage an investigative firm to look into the allegations. During the campaign, 16 women came forward to allege that Schwarzenegger groped or sexually harassed them between 1975 and 2000. Schwarzenegger acknowledged and apologized for having "behaved badly" toward women in the past, but said he wouldn't discuss the allegations until after he was elected. Attorney General Bill Lockyer called for a full investigation, but because the statute of limitations had expired on the claims, no criminal investigation is possible and no probe has been launched, spokesman Nathan Barankin said. The governor "remains sincerely sorry to anyone he may have offended, but there comes a time to move on and focus on the critical issues facing the state," Stutzman said. |
