Schwarzenegger: "How About Some Wild Sex?"

Anna Werner, an investigative reporter with CBS-5 in the Bay Area, has a new piece on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's "taxpayer-funded PR machine," which includes live webcasts and videos of the governor's public appearances. The governor's office claimed these webcasts are not edited, but Werner found some footage that "never made it to the governor's website":

Clip 1: Schwarzenegger gives a speech in which he tells a joke featuring his wife, Maria Shriver. "My wife came to me and she says, 'You know, what do you want for Father's Day?' I said, 'Let me think about that. Well, how about 10 more points in the polls? And how about some wild sex?' She said, 'Uh, well, let me work on the poll numbers.' " He also jokes that cigars show the "difference between Democrats and Republicans." To Schwarzenegger, a cigar means you "kick back and relax," but to Bill Clinton, a cigar is "evidence," the Republican governor says.

Clip 2: A joke he frequently tells about his uncle-in-law, U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy. Shriver tells him he is becoming more and more "Kennedyesque." Schwarzenegger muses that he must be like Robert or John Kennedy, when in fact she means he's becoming "fat" like Uncle Teddy.

Clip 3: Schwarzenegger introduces his new chief of staff, Susan (No Relation) Kennedy, to the Capitol press corp. When the reporters sit silently, he jokes: "Tone it down, not so much applause."

Clip 4: At a speech before law enforcement, Schwarzenegger jokes he hasn't seen so many police since he "had my motorcycle crash and was asked for my driver's license, which I didn't have."

1. schwarzie represents the melding of that john wayne personality

with corporatist traitor.

nothing he does or says is going to turn off californians -- who all fatasize that they live in million dollar homes in malibu and are personal friends of brad pitt and steven spielberg.

[goclark]

3. He turns off many of us and I have yet to meet anyone

who admitted they voted for him.

Please do not lump us as in some Hollywood Group, we are just ordinary people who are not at all inspired by this clown.

5. hey i'm in cali -- and in the bay area no less --

and the bay area voted for schwarzie.

[goclark]

10. I did not see an outpouring of glee for him

in Los Angeles.

Many others on the Democratic Slate won and yet he won.

I'll never understand it.

4. I can only hope he dosn't meld with Ronald Reagan

2. I'll try my best to find my bag of fake outrage

Arnold isn't who I'd ideally want leading California, they're going to make a Terminator 4 whether we like it or not and I know that a Terminator movie needs Arnie to be the best Terminator movie it can be, so I'm all for him getting out of office.

But I don't think Arnolds non-conservative/right-wing/religious actions and opinions (like calling anti-Global Warming bullshit "from the stone age") has a net bad effect on America.

The joke about wanting sex with his wife isn't really at all funny to anyone who doesn't like hack-comedy. But it also isn't an immoral or bigoted comment either.

6. These are actually kinda funny.

Oh, wait...sorry. Hold on...

*GRR! SMASH! HATE JOKE TOLD BY REPUBLICAN! JOKE TOLD BY REPUBLICAN IS INSIGHT INTO EVIL MIND OF REPUBLICAN! NOT AT ALL LIKE HARMLESS JOKE TOLD BY DEMOCRAT!*

[MrSlayer]

7. OK, so Arnie tells some jokes.

That are somewhat amusing. But the story really goes nowhere.

8. Normally news about Republicans here induces rage from me. This is just blah. But then again...

...the problem is maybe just that I'm just pre-inclined to react to every public thing a Republican does with scorn, outrage, and disbelief. Schwarzenneggar does some bad things as governor. None of those things is relavent to this article.

9. I have to add my own voice to those saying

"Big deal, so what?"

So he tells crappy jokes. The headline is very misleading though. And honestly, the "Tone it down, not so much applause" one is pretty funny.
