MONTEREY, Calif. Oct. 19, 2004 ? Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is married to a Kennedy, joked at a public-policy conference that his sex life suffered after he endorsed President Bush at the Republican National Convention.
"There was no sex for 14 days," he said. "Everything comes with side effects."
Schwarzenegger, whose wife is TV journalist Maria Shriver, had an audience of about 1,000 people in stitches Monday as he took part in a lecture series organized by former Clinton administration chief of staff Leon Panetta.
Asked about the presidential debates, Schwarzenegger said if he wanted to watch a smart liberal Democrat and a Republican leader argue, "I'd just take my wife out to dinner."
He joked that he was a little jealous of President Bush and John Kerry because of their debate schedule.
"They were lucky. They only had to do it three times," Schwarzenegger said. "I have to do it every morning over breakfast."
Schwarzenegger told Panetta he was thrilled that people were talking about changing the U.S. Constitution to allow immigrants to run for president. But he said Democrats don't want "that Schwarzen-schnitzel" to be president.
