Schwarzenegger: I Have A Love Child

Former CA Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he fathered a child with a member of his household staff ten years ago.

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Mr Schwarzenegger said in a statement issued to the newspaper. "I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologised to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry. "I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time," the statement concluded. "While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not."

The whereabouts of the child were not disclosed, not was the name of Schwarzenegger's employee, who reportedly retired in January after serving the family for 20 years.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have separated after 25 years of marriage. According to some wags, this has been coming for a long time, but the couple was waiting until Schwarzenegger left office.

Maria Shriver Says "No On 8" But The Governator Remains Silent

California's First Lady Maria Shriver has come out against Prop 8.

"I believe in people's right to choose a partner that they love, and that's a decision that I have come to, and I have felt that way for a long time," said Ms Shriver, a niece of former President John F Kennedy.

However Shriver's husband has had nothing to say since he told the annual convention of the Log Cabin Republicans that he "will always be there" to fight Prop 8. That was in April. Nothing since then.
