Oui Vey!

[dogbyte12]

I will not comment on the text, other than to say, I would love to see him explain now how his morals have changed since this interview. His moral values stunk then. I willl withold any comments on what he said because this is a family friendly site.

[prarie earth]

Is this the best the Clinton/Grey Davis team has got?

[DoughtyOne]

What is your fascination with full frontal male nudity?

[ambrose]

the interview will probably win him endorsements from all the major homosexual groups in California.

[Tempest]

*Sigh* What a pathetic attempt at slander. I haven't changed since 77' either. . .

GWB used to drink!!! *Shock*

[ElkGroveDan]

Wow, I bet Bill Clinton is envious of Arnold. He's just as liberal but way more of a pervert.

[Voice in your head]

Most of the text cannot be published in the media, because it is so explicit. However, the only really damaging thing in the text is the part about using drugs. Other than that, he was candid about a good sex life. So what? Nobody had to buy the magazine - and he wasn't getting laid in the oval office while on the taxpayers' payroll.

I also question the labeling of it as a "dirty" campaign trick.

Making unproven accusations or starting whispering campaigns based purely on speculation -- stuff like that is dirty campaign stuff. Or when some people tried to make an issue about the race of Phil Gramm's wife.

But what's so "dirty" about calling to everyone's attention an interview that Ahh-nald gave to a magazine? I mean, what did he expect when he started running?

[AmericaUnited]

Wow, sex and pot... How repulsive to most Kalifornia moderate voters :)

[swilhelm73]

Yoiu might as well name this one, "Davis's plumbers make their second major move."

[Porterville]

So he was a kid in the 70's, what was Bustamonte doing??? Huffington???? Davis???? The answer is the same for each.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I think that his exploits may win him votes in urban communities where his life back then sounds like rap songs today. Maybe Bustamante won't get as many minority votes as he thinks.

[socal_parrot]

Yeah, this is relevant. Wild sex in 77. Now if it can be proved that he wore a leisure suit and listend to disco? That would be another story.

[ejdrapes]

Drudge is just a hack journalist [sic] who has no class. It's obvious he's no Arnold fan and will dig up the dirt on him for the Dems. I wonder if he's on their payroll.

What is the point of bringing up something Arnold said 26 years ago? People change. They grow up, get married, have children. I'd be curious to know how many FReepers lifestyles and views have changed somewhat in the last two decades or so. I'd guess more have than haven't.

[thoughtomator]

Pfft! That is not dirty.

You want to see dirty, just wait until the RINO crew feels threatened by McClintock, coming soon to a political theatre near you!

[drstevej]

This may get him the Democratic Presidential nomination!

[A CA Guy]

Don't know if he ever gave that interview or if this was fabricated, but sounds like he just rounded up the Libertarian vote.

[Middle Aged White Male]

This whole thing seems... fishy. I mean, the interview was awfully descriptive for a guy who wasn't fluent in English for years into the 80's...

To be honest, I really don't care about this revelation. Does anyone expect someone living in his lifestyle to have an innocent history? Not that I am condoning it, but I could give two figs for this (or Bush's drug/alchohol past). I am voting for these candidates today, not 20 years ago. If this all happened in 1997 I would be much more concerned...
