Lawmaker Apologizes for Her Schwarzenegger Remark

Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia (R-Cathedral City) caused a political ruckus when she told a classroom of La Quinta High School seniors that she wouldn't kick Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger out of her bed. Garcia, 44, made the remark Oct. 10 while she was speaking to an economics class, shortly before she was scheduled to appear before the school's Young Republican Club. Garcia, who is in a tight race for reelection, had been the object of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's ethnically charged remark regarding her "very hot" Latina temperament a comment for which the governor later apologized. Garcia, who is Puerto Rican, was quick to defend the governor, and he has supported her campaign.
