hehe, what a guy... mr olympia 7 times, the youngest ever winner at the age of 23, and some awesome movies to boot.
Dunno about the politics, but I always liked how he appeared to not really take himself too seriously (see his list of films).
I still think one of his best film lines comes from Conan The Barbarian (for me the best realisation of R. E. Howard's mythic character - arnie
is conan). When asked what are the best things in life, he replies "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." Simply marvellous.
