1. I don't think this will be a big problem for Arnold

First od all, the sins of the father should not be visited upon the son. According to Swartzenegger, he was unaware of his father's Nazi past. This is the sort of thing a Austrian partiarch may wish to hide from his family, just as your favorite Frat Boy and mine concealed his drunk driving arrest from his duaghters.

On the other hand, am I to understand that last night on the Leno Show Swarzenegger denied posing for that all-hung out photo years ago? If so, that was stupid. It won't be long before his transient admirerers decide whether not to believe their ears when the denial is played back or not believe their eyes when they see the photo.

That will give him a serious credibility problem. He'll have no one to blame for it but himself.
