I couldn't have said it better myself
 
"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.
 
Awesome.  And of course, those politicians with the absolutely best sense of humor and nerves of steel retorted
 
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."
 
Yes. Blatant homophobia.  Oh the horror! As if it was homophobia at all.  But lastly, the House speaker's thirteen year old daughter was distraught
 
"She's a young girl who knows the governor and really likes him a lot and didn't find the term to be a positive term, and finds it to be derogatory," Nunez said. "It was no question a very, very insensitive comment to make. I personally am not intimidated or threatened by it, but I think it really is beneath Gov. Schwarzenegger."
 
Certainly, having alienated the girly man vote and the thirteen year old female vote, Governor Schwarzeneggar has created an uphill battle for reelection.
