Is Arnold Your Ordinary Con Man?

Hot Air sums up the legacy of social climber Arnold:
So to recap: This guy already had a love child that his wife didn’t know about before he decided to run for governor. Knowing full well that running for office would place him and his family under an even stronger media microscope than he faced as a movie star, he went ahead and ran anyway, risking an earth-shaking revelation of his secret while in office. Meanwhile, he actually kept the child’s mother on staff in his house for 10 more years, interacting with her daily right under the nose of poor Maria Shriver, and refusing to tell his family about the child until his term in office was safely over. And then, to top it off, when he finally told Maria the truth, he basically forced her to kick herself out of the house by refusing to leave. Does that sum it up? Darn that natural-born citizen clause in the Constitution. To think how close we came to a John Edwards presidential campaign meltdown of our very own.
