Schwarzenegger's Past Comes To Haunt Him

Schwarzenegger's Sex Talk

In a 1977 Oui magazine (now out of print) interview, Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed his sex life and drug use in great and vulgar detail. Here are few choice quotes:

"Bodybuilders party a lot, and once, in Gold's--the gym in Venice, California, where all the top guys train--there was a black girl who came out naked. Everybody jumped on her and took her upstairs, where we all got together."

When Manso asked whether he used "dope," Schwarzenegger replied, "Yes, grass and hash--no hard drugs. But the point is that I do what I feel like doing. I'm not on a health kick."

at the 1972 Mr. Olympia contest, "we had girls backstage giving head, then all of us went out and I won. It didn't bother me at all; in fact, I went out there feeling like King Kong,"

So, am I going to jump all over the tuetonic plague about this? No, it might be embaracing for him now, but that was more than twenty years ago. It doesn't seem fair to nail politicians for "youthful indiscrestions" committed in the distant past. The President, after all, said that he did not begin taking his life seriously untill he was forty years old. Bill Clinton had his fair share of adult indiscretions, straight laced Al Gore admitted to smoking marijuana and Howard Zinn is rumored to have furniture fetish.
