Oui, Ahhnold…
I don’t usually link to things that are easily found at the top of the blogdex or popdex lists, but this item from the SmokingGun.com is just too rich to pass up. It’s an interview with California Governor-hopeful Arnold Schwarzenegger that was published in the naughty magazine Oui back in 1977. In it, Ahhnold talks about smoking pot and hash, and about how easy and fun it was to get laid — which he seemed to do at will. He also talks about having participated in a “gang bang” at the gym:
Asked by Manso if he was talking about a “gang bang,” Schwarzenegger answered, “Yes, but not everybody, just the guys who can fuck in front of other guys. Not everybody can do that. Some think that they don’t have a big-enough cock, so they can’t get a hard-on. Having chicks around is the kind of thing that breaks up the intense training. It gives you relief, and then afterward you go back to the serious stuff.”
Don’t get me wrong — I have nothing against pot-smoking, free-loving narcissists running for office. In fact I encourage it. What gets me about this revelation is the underlying hypocrisy of having lived like that — and spoken freely about it — and then running as a tight-assed, “family values” Republican.

C’mon… that was 26 years ago. Are you going to tell me that your values haven’t changed one iota in 26 years?
Although he married into the Kennedy family, the members of which are not known for their abstinencial ways…
Actually, he was 29. Of course people’s values change, but who says he’s changed his values? He hasn’t come right out and said “I’ve changed my values.” In fact, he hasn’t said anything at all about this — just as he hasn’t said anything about a lot of election issues.
Unlike being quite verbose on eRection issues… as you already quoted…
