Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Unions Getting Personal With Maria Shriver

The San Francisco Chronicle has What Shriver won’t talk about with Oprah.

Schwarzenegger’s wife backed candidacy but is declining to talk about his initiatives.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s latest dilemma in his uphill battle toward the Nov. 8 special election carries a catchy musical theme: “How do you solve a problem like Maria?”

Maria — as in the California first lady, as in Democratic royalty, Kennedy clan member, and uber-campaigner for her famous husband.

Shriver is scheduled to appear today as a guest on “Oprah,” but it’s what she won’t say that may speak volumes.

Shriver, a former reporter for NBC News, will appear on the nationally televised talk show as a journalist to discuss “America’s Invisible Poor” — not the top-of-mind political agenda of her famous husband, who conducted 10 radio interviews alone Monday to pump up his lagging polls and fend off attacks from a barrage of negative TV ads regarding his special election agenda.

So, what?

The pro-union, leftie San Francisco Chronicle now gets personal about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife, Maria Shriver.

This personal scrutiny of Shriver is NOT on the society page or even the editorial page page but on a news page.

Why?

To embarass the Governor.

William Randolph Hearst couldn’t have done a better hatchet job.
