They may not be statesmen (and women) but at least they are dignified.

This item from Monday’s Sacramento Bee:

“In September of ‘06, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was caught on tape in his office discussing whether Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia, R-Cathedral City, was of Puerto Rican or Cuban heritage: ‘I mean they are all very hot,’ the governor said.

A month later, in a reference to Schwarzenegger, Garcia told a high school economics class in La Quinta that ‘I wouldn’t kick him out of my bed.’

Neither Garcia nor Schwarzenegger was offended, and both won re-election later that year.

Of course, Garcia was always prepared for the unexpected: She once told her colleagues during a floor debate that she had an extra pair of panties in her desk drawer in case the session went long”
