We change leadership today in California. It will be fodder for months to come as we watch Arnold attempt his new scriptless job. As you may have heard he is launching his own investigation about the groping allegations against him. As he continues this charade, the LA Times has no choice but to continue looking into the claims also. I got a call from a reporter at the Times last week. She and a handful of other journalists are obviously doing their research to have found me - she read my blog entry from October, the day he was elected. She was intrigued that I met someone with a firsthand account of the misbehavior and hoped to talked to this woman. After two days of phone tag with my friend and a couple emails from the Times, insisting their trustworthiness and confidentiality if necessary, the two women spoke. I got a followup email from the Times reporter thanking me for hooking her up with such a wonderful woman. I haven't talked to my friend yet so I don't know if she went on the record or not, but hopefully it will all come out in the wash - or in this case the dirty laundry. At least she was willing to tell the story as I'm sure many are too scared to do. Of course she was a witness not a victim, but with every little step, perhaps the Times will get that much closer.
