Arnold Schwarzenegger has apparently told his first blatant lie as a political contender. Within the first 24 hours or so after the news story broke about his allegedly base Oui interview, he acknowledged the interview, and attempted to explain it. But a mere hours later when asked about the interview, he began feigning ignorance of its existence, asserting "I don't know what you're talking about."

Well, Arnold, maybe you're qualified to be a politician, after all--you're learning how to lie to get elected.
