Sorry Shriver Goes Hands-Free

Governator's wife takes questionably 'swift action' he promised

Share

(Newser) – TMZ got an “I’m sorry” out of Maria Shriver a day after exposing her law-breaking habit of using her cell phone while driving. Hubby Arnold Schwarzenegger—who happened to sign the particular law that bans it—promised “swift action.” What does that mean? “I will be donating my favorite old cell phone” to charity, Shriver says in a statement. “That's my version of swift action with a higher purpose.”

Shriver also, apparently, got herself legal with a hands-free device, leading Matt Lauer to disclose on Today that "I was emailing her back and forth yesterday. Actually she was texting me on her brand new hands-free device"—as TMZ notes, presumably "she wasn't driving when she did it."

I wonder how many news outlets have hacked her cell phones. Perhaps we can get an early warning about the invasion of inner America by California. Arnold is the only Governor who spoke about the military might of his state when asked. California could effectively defend America from a western invasion. This should be worth some political capital for the State of California. We as a nation should implement, as a part of the High School Curricullum, at least one year of non-combat service in the National Guard and/or Homeland Security training with the local Sheriff's Department. Now that would be something to talk about on Maria's cell phone. Hands free of course. The Republicans ratted her out. Reply
