Oprah could have bleeped Arnold's Sexual Vulgarity...but didn't
Does this say something about Oprah (she let him hang himself)? I don't know if it was bleeped in markets where it wasn't live. Anyone?

I can't believe that anyone who heard him say that word in polite company would think he has any diplomatic sense to be a public representative of any government.

Also, was that the first time that word was used on network TV? Any Lexis-Nexis types wanna search?

Thank you.

2. Mentioned about
pumping iron being better than "the slang word for ejaculation"

3. "A pump is better than cumming"
...which means a lift/workout is better than sex. I was shocked his little slip of the tongue - which cleary horrified Maria - didn't garner more attention. I couldn't believe he said it - that he didn't have enough intelligence to not use a statement like that on the Oprah show of all places, in front of an audience of mostly conservative women. This should be a good indicator to all those who are supporting him that 1) he's not that smart and 2) he's a live wire. I think he seriously thought that comment would help prove his point that all those things he said were "outrageous" and simply to get more attention for body building. I'm thoroughly disgusted with him.

4. I watched the west coast broadcast
and knowing that it's taped in Chicago earlier in the morning, I was really surprised that it wasn't edited out. It puzzled me at the time that Oprah wouldn't have edited it.

6. SO IT WAS EDITED OUT in other markets!
There is a few-second delay here. Back in 85 when Oprah first got her show it was live and some man said "F---ing". YOu should have seen Oprah's face! After that it was on delay.

7. Discussion was Arnold not sex crazy - "pumping" -masturbation? - better
Edited on Sat Oct-04-03 01:37 PM by papau
than "coming" with some woman.

Perhaps lifting weights does get him off - but I read "masturbation" from the context.

8. Quite frankly, so the hell what?
He's said it for years, since Pumping Iron, and it's not particularly vulgar.

10. So he was on Oprah to discuss why he should be CA's next governor
Edited on Sat Oct-04-03 02:02 PM by rocknation
that's so the hell what!

And he's all yours for the taking, California--unqualified, inarticulate, totally lacking in diplomatic and interpersonal skills, and unable to work without a script or react appropriately. And his memory sucks, too. But according to Greg Palast, this is all really is just another acting job for him, anyway.

11. The type of women in Oprah's audience
(I would suspect) would be offended by the use of the word "cum" not so much the idea that Arnold used to think a workout was better than sex. That word is considered vulgar by many, even though it's simply a fact of life.

9. Remember how Rush blasted Jocelyn Elders for saying "C" word
in public? And Jocelyn mentioned masturbation also and for that the entire RW cabal called for her resignation.

12. She only "normalized" it
If she didn't bleep it, it would only serve to make it acceptable. She was a real shill for him. I really don't understand her.

13. Totally lost my respect for Oprah
She had the nerve to claim that sh's really not a political person--Only had Arnold and Maria on her show because they are "friends," What a crock!!! Having a candidate on to discuss why he should be Governor of California isn't political? Oprah, please don't LIE and don't insult the intelligence of your audience.
