Angelides Stumbles Badly...Again

Pajamas Media has the story:

In a PajamasXpress exclusive at Bill Bradley’s New West Notes, the Schwarzenegger campaign has responded to the latest Phil Angelides allegation - that Arnold was a friend of South African apartheid. “Yesterday, speaking before a group of African-American ministers in Sacramento, Angelides claimed that Schwarzenegger had supported apartheid in South Africa. He offered little to back up the claim, which Schwarzenegger’s reputable biographers have dismissed. It was not part of the kitchen sink tossed at Schwarzenegger by then Governor Gray Davis and his supporters in the 2003 recall campaign.

Today the head of the International Federation of BodyBuilders, Ben Weider, issued a statement through the Schwarzenegger campaign, recounting how during the height of the apartheid era, Schwarzenegger, the dominant figure in the sport, went to South Africa with Weider to meet with the country’s minister of sport to insist that the Mr. Olympia competition be conducted under fully integrated conditions. He also sent along a letter from the official agreeing to the conditions.”

Read it all at NWN, including how Arnold turns out to have been buddies with Nelson Mandela. Pajamas Media wants to know - can Angelides sink any lower?

I'm sure by now Angelides' speechwriters are in the third draft of his concession speech which will be delivered approximately 1 minute after polls close in California.
