Hillary on Arnold Movie: I Don't Want to Serve With 'The Predator'

Referring to a 1986 film starring California Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said late Wednesday that she would not want to serve alongside "The Predator" - a comment that some took as a thinly veiled allusion to the myriad of groping allegations leveled against the former action star.

"I thought the recall was not a great idea," Mrs. Clinton told Comedy Central's Jon Stewart during an interview on "The Daily Show."

"I wish [Californians] well now - they've got a lot of big problems out there. I'm worried about serving in the Senate with the predator," said Mrs. Clinton, who failed to mention Gray Davis' history of violence against women.

The comment drew a bewildered reaction from national talk radio host Laura Ingraham, who aired the clip on her Thursday broadcast and said she wondered what Mrs. Clinton meant.

"She's worried about serving in the Senate now with the predator?" the conservative talker mused. "Who's the predator? Is Bill running for the Senate?"

Ingraham continued:

[Arnold's] not in the Senate, last time I checked. He's going to be the governor. I think [Hillary] goofed up that line."
