MTV Movie Awards: Schwarzenegger's good for a few laughs

 
Every year at the "MTV Movie Awards" there's a designated celebrity piñata -- Lindsay Lohan, for instance, sat in the audience one year and endured witheringly cruel and lewd jokes -- and this year the target was Arnold Schwarzenegger. The former governor's future as a bankable movie star is in doubt but he was money on Sunday night when it came to monologue material for host Jason Sudeikis.

Sudeikis told the crowd that the full balcony was the designated section for the scandalized politico's offspring. He also said the new film "Bridesmaids" got its title from the two groups of people who sleep with the "Terminator" star. You get the idea. Sudeikis got a few laughs at first but the audience started to groan -- hearing the name of Maria Shriver in one gag might have reminded them that pointed jokes sometime injure the innocent.

injure the innocent? How innocent was it in 2003 when she was pimping her hubby as a 'GREAT MAN, GREAT HUSBAND, GREAT FATHER AND GREAT LEADER'? all the while fully aware and in response to the LA. Times sourced, enterprise story in which 16 brave women, in or on the periphery of the movie biz, attested to being grabbed, held down against their will, molested because he had a sense of divine right. She knew full well, could read the exquisitely painful and painfully truthful detail.. What did Maria the Innocent think of the waitree who described how arnold asked her to go into the women's room, insert her finger, and bring the evidence back to his table for him to peruse. Maria shriver was responding to that woman when she said,"These women only KNEW MY HUSBAND FOR FIVE SECONDS.HE IS A GREAT...BLAH BLAH BLAH. So Maria is responsible for pushing him on Kalifornia..refuting those women. By 2003 she also, being a supposedly sharp investigative reporter, knew that the mini-Conan with the kitchen help..had a very specific parentage..Maria needs to apologize to the wimmin of Kalifornia...for pimping her husband on all of us..when she knew what she knew. She can't be an advocate for real women.....until she does that..no matter what Orphah says. Orphah was an enabler to this hideous marriage.
