From Political Wire:
Three months after California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) ?unveiled his official Capitol portrait ? and its badly scrubbed-out image of his estranged wife ? a less splotchy, retouched version of the painting was hung Friday with little fanfare,? the Sacramento Bee reports.
?Less noticeable on the final installment is the area where an image of Maria Shriver’s face on a lapel pin was deleted.?
From Time:
?Whoever touched it up did not do a very good job,? Richard Granis, a tour guide for the capitol, told the Post. ?It was softball sized, right there on his left lapel.?
Here is the “corrected” portrait.
The Governator and Maria Shriver separated in 2011 after devastating rumors of infidelity were proven to be true. He also fathered a child with his mistress, a woman who had been a member of the household staff. Their divorce hasn’t been finalized.
Honestly, he should have left Maria in the portrait. His marriage to her — and the beautiful children she gave him — are pretty much the best part of his dubious legacy. Certainly any class or integrity that has ever touched him came from Maria Shriver.
