IMO, the people who are critical of the way Arnold lived in the '70's are from the East or midWest, or maybe just awfully young.
If no one can show me pix of the partying after Arnold married Maria, then I'm not impressed. Although, extramarital affairs are quite common in her family. She probably expected a few or more.
And even more, has anyone caught him in a lie?
YES YES YES.
In a 1977 interview with OUI Magazine, Ahnold acknowledges his drug use:
OUI: Do you use dope?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Yes, grass and hash-no hard drugs ...
In 1988 interview with Playboy, Ahnold changes his tune (the other drugs referred to by the interviewer were roids):
PLAYBOY: What about other drugs; have you done them?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Never in my entire life. When I came to America, someone gave me a drug like speed. He told me it would make me sharper and I'd lose weight. But I lost muscle tone. It was like having a hard-on that's not hard, that is half limp. I don't like that. I like to feel fully pumped. I threw the pills away. Nor has anyone so much as smoked a joint when I was there. Or sniffed coke. Or taken any drugs. In Hollywood, I have never seen any drugs on the set or anywhere. It could be because people know me well enough to know that I don't want anything like that. I'm around actors all the time -- and I've worked with them in Mexico, on jungle locations where you'd think it might happen just to pass the time -- and I've never seen it.
For those who claim they only cared about Clinton's sex life post monica, and the deposition, quit being stinking hypocrites. Jennifer Flowers ring a bell? I am sure we all said, well he wasn't under oath, and he wasn't in office as President, it's really not that big of a deal.
If we could take a retroactive journey back to 1992, and somebody drug out a never published interview with Clinton from 1967, where he said the exact things Arnold did, while he was still single... I am sure that everybody here would have said that was swell. Oh yeah, youthful stuff. Nothing to see here, move on. Arnold was 29 here. The stories have been making the rounds here in California for years, that he never lost his eye for the ladies even after marriage.
Some people here need to take yoga very quickly, or they are going to get stuck in a pretzel shape from all the contortions they are using to justify supporting a tax loving, gun banning, oil drilling hating, Kennedy who treats women like pieces of meat. Must have been what endeared him to the family.
I would like people to just say, I just don't want a tax raise. Arnold can sacrifice babies on a satanic altar, as long as he leaves taxes alone.
