Gotta love that Smoking Gun:
AUGUST 27--Arnold Schwarzenegger once told a magazine interviewer about participating in an orgy with other bodybuilders, noting that "everybody jumped on" the woman involved and "took her upstairs where we all got together." The California Republican added that not every muscleman participated in the gang bang, "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."
Mercy.
Schwarzenegger's lewd talk appeared in the August 1977 issue of Oui, a now-defunct adult magazine published by Playboy. The six-page Schwarzenegger interview was conducted by author Peter Manso and flagged on the magazine's cover with the headline, "Arnold Schwarzenegger on the Sex Secrets of Bodybuilders."
At the time of the Oui story, Schwarzenegger, then 29, was appearing in "Pumping Iron," a documentary on the bodybuilding circuit. In the Q&A with Manso, today's gubernatorial wannabe spoke about his sex life, drug usage, and belief that men "shouldn't feel like fags just because they want to have nice-looking bodies."
Truly ahead of his time, that one.
I'm glad I wasn't a teenager in the 1970s. I like to think I would've been the cool kid in the leather jacket listening to the Clash and the Ramones. But I'm afraid I would've been the guy in bell bottoms and and a white guy Afro, hanging out in a friend's Good Times van listening to Kansas. The horror.
Anyway, if the Smoking Gun article does anything, it will widen the rift between Schwarzenegger and more conservative Republicans like McClintock. Arnie has already discussed his stand on issues in this CNN article, where he discusses his pro-choice stance, and his support of a "domestic partnership" arrangement for gays. That alone has shown him to be pretty far afield from the Republican platform.
As for the revelations of (*gasp*) group sex and (*shudder*) pot and hash smoking...hey, it's California. I'm sure some of the other Republican candidates will jump all over him (metaphorically, of course), further exposing the hypocrisy in the political process. I'll be disappointed if Arnie's team backpedals on this and tries to make it sound like he was making things up to impress his interviewer. Embrace your inner freak, baby. And while you're at it, tell us more about that "mind-cock" theory you brought up in the interview.
And now that I think about it, one comment might come back to haunt him:
Most bodybuilders are straight, regular street guys, though a lot aren't serious. Many in California are punks, beach bums just lying around in the sun and maybe collecting unemployment.
There goes the unemployed beach bum vote.
in a radio interview, arnold schwarzenegger said, "I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman."
hahahahaha
