groper surrenders to nurses

Schwarzenegger Drops Nurse-Staffing Fight

By DON THOMPSON, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 42 minutes ago

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has ended a yearlong fight with California nurses over hospital staffing levels after a bitter feud that escalated when he boasted, "I'm kicking their butts."
...

Tensions between the governor and the nurses union escalated in December 2004, when he labeled the union a special interest and said he was "kicking their butts."

Since then, the union has attacked Schwarzenegger in TV commercials, on freeway billboards and at nearly every public event he held, including fundraisers in New York and Boston.

In a September interview with The Associated Press, Schwarzenegger said his comment was a mistake and called the reaction to it a learning experience.
