SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET: A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far way, SH babysat for a future OxBlogger. The experience persuaded him not to have children of his own.

Moving on, SH responds to my recent post on Schwarzenegger and the Nazi past by noting that Arnold
ignor[ed] significant evidence of the complicity of Kurt Waldheim in war crimes (evidence significant enough for the US government to ban him from coming to the US while he was president of Austria), has been a staunch defender of Waldheim.  I have no reason to believe that Arnold hates Jews or subscribes to Nazi ideology -- although, you know, there is some of that in the Kennedy background -- Ambassador Kennedy was a well-known Naziphile -- in fact, I doubt that either is true, but I did think the Waldheim issue should be brought to your attention.
Interesting. I wonder what will come of it. I guess that if Arnold loses the recall election the President could always nominate him to be Secretary General of the United Nations. After all, the UN never seemed to have any problem with Waldheim's past.
