Brazil. It’s Totally Devoted to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Favorite Body Part

Midway through yesterday’s Los Angeles Times story about tabloid publisher American Media’s efforts to suppress Playboy’s “Carnival in Rio” travelogue video hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger—it shows the Gov “grabbing a scantily clad woman and making other sexually suggestive gestures”—comes this passage:

“You know something,” Schwarzenegger says in the film, “after watching the [dancers] shake it, I can absolutely understand why Brazil is totally devoted to my favorite body part: the ass.”

It’s really too bad the museum dedicated to Schwarzenegger in his native Austria closed. Curators could have built an entire exhibit around this oh-so-presidential quote.
