I know you come here to get my insights into the looming federal debt ceiling crisis, but ... I keep getting distracted. From What Would Tyler Durden Do:
It was surprising when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced that they were separating after 25 years of marriage, but luckily Arnold has a back-up familia already in place.
The LA Times, who broke the story last night, says Arnold had a relationship with a woman who worked for Arnold and Maria as a member of their household staff for 20 years. About 10 years ago they had a child, but the woman, who was also married at the time and whom the LA Times won't name, kept working for the couple until this past January.
[From the LA Times:]
Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, separated after she learned he had fathered a child more than a decade ago with a longtime member of their household staff. ...
In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man - her then-husband - was the child's father. ...
She said she voluntarily left her position with the couple earlier this year after reaching a longstanding goal of working for them for two decades. "I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire," she said, adding she received a severance payment and "left on good terms with them."
Schwarzenegger took financial responsibility for the child from the start and continued to provide support, according to a source.
Due to my awesome level of racism, I'm gonna assume this woman is Latin because it sounds like she was a maid. So if her husband was also Latin, he had to have a few questions. Like, why is our infant 4-feet tall with veins in his biceps?
Good question. I wonder why California's First Lady didn't ask it, either.

T-Paw should leak some dirt on himself so I can remember who he is.

In other debt ceiling-related news, old iSteve phavorite philosopher Bernard Henri-Levy defends Dominique Strauss-Kahn, which, trust me, you owe it to yourself to read. Make sure to read it using an accent that's a cross between Pepe Le Pew and Daffy Duck.
