Time.com: Sex, Lies, Arrogance: What Makes Powerful Men Behave So Badly?

Dated May 19, 2011, we missed this one. Look at the cover of the issue, here. Could it be any more offensive? Hardly a peep of objection that I can see. Heck, no one even seems to have noticed. Excerpt:

Arnie married into power, and he was picked for his popularity. There is an interesting book called "PRESIDENTIAL WIVES, An Anecdotal History" by Paul F.
