Look, I saw him deny his documented behavior on television.

How is it documented?

Did it ever occur to you that he created a story to tell the interviewer targeted for the "readers" of said magazine?

Do you think all the exploits recounted in these mags are true-to-life experiences?

I'm willing to hear it supported, but Schwarzenegger said he said ludicrous and crazy things back then because that was the way he was.

LOL! That's reassuring. Sure, I thought of that, but then I was smart enough to realize that a man who creates such a perverted story for public consumption would very likely have no qualms about doing most of those things.

Here's the article in case you haven't read it. Orgy porgy, Ford and fun, kiss the girls and make them One. Personally, I believe Arnold's account in this magazine. I don't believe him now because he has an incentive to not be truthful.

When the story about then-Governor Bush's DUI came out, the frustrating thing was that people didn't take it in the context of the times. There hadn't yet been a big push to get people to stop driving after they had had a few drinks - it was actually very common for people to drink and drive...and no one was hurt, he was pulled over for driving slowly (correct?) - it wasn't the same thing as being pulled over for drinking and driving as it would have been had it happened last week.

Similarly, people are probably more sexually conservative now than they were when Arnold gave this interview. In the 1960's and 70's, things were fairly wild - a big reaction to the Donna Reed/Ozzie and Harriet/Lucy and Ricky in Separate Beds Decade prior. Then people became afraid of getting AIDS, and things settled down a bit.

Half the people having trouble with the interview now probably had some pretty interesting relationships of their own back then.
