Arnold's Appetites: The Gift That Keeps on Giving

The L.A. Times is all atwitter with the news that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made the following joke Monday night about the effects of his Republican Convention speech on his two-party marriage:

"There was no sex for 14 days," he said. "Everything comes with side effects."

To which Steve Lopez cracked: "Maybe Maria has made it clear that if he leans too far to the right, he'll fall out of bed." Then columnist Patt Morrison upped the too-much-information ante:

Two weeks without sex? Is he serious? I'm supposed to feel sorry for him? I'd be happy to get that much action.
