Schwarzenegger’s secret message to the state Assembly: ‘F*ck you.’
Schwarzenegger’s secret message to the state Assembly: ‘F*ck you.’
The California Assembly and Senate recently unanimously approved Assembly Bill 1176 to help the port of San Francisco with financing issues. But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has decided to veto the legislation, sending a letter to the state Assembly chastising them for focusing on “unnecessary bills.” The San Francisco Bay Guardian also notes a second, more direct, message hidden in Schwarzenegger’s missive — contained in the first letter of each line:
The author of the Assembly Bill 1176 is Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, who recently shouted out “You lie!” to Schwarzenegger at a public event. Schwarzenegger’s office, however, is insisting that the letter’s coded message was just “a strange coincidence.” “When you do so many vetoes, that’s bound to happen,” said the governor’s spokesman.

That’s what he should tell the whole Republican party.

October 28th, 2009 at 10:01 amNo dammit! You’re the Terminator, don’t just hide it come out and say it like it is!
October 28th, 2009 at 10:01 amI have new respect for Mr. Schwarzenegger.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:03 amEven if I don’t agree with his handling of the budget, I just can’t hate Arnold. He’s one of the increasingly very few level-headed Republicans in the country.
And, yeah. Coincidence, my ass. I’m actually kinda surprised he didn’t come right out and say it in the letter.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:03 am“When you do so many vetoes…”
Mmmm, that’s some goooooood Governing!
October 28th, 2009 at 10:06 amHmmm…I bet other governors are taking notes.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:07 amLOL! Are we to believe this is just a coincidence? I have to say, it took balls.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:07 amHaha!! That’s awesome!!
October 28th, 2009 at 10:12 amThen again, look at Assemblyman Ammiano. He once told the Governator to kiss his gay ass.
Why can’t we get politics this colourful in NJ?
October 28th, 2009 at 10:13 amSo, the Governator vetoes a bill, not on its merits or lack thereof, but because he’s ticked that legislation addressing other issues has not made it to his desk.
All of our elected representatives (the vote was unanimous) felt it reasonable and necessary to help the Port of San Francisco, and all the Governator can say is:
F

I’m guessing that whoever wrote this letter for the Governator is looking for a job today.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:14 amOkay, at first (being the analytical math genius that I am…heh) I was believing that this could be coincidence.
Until I read this little ditty…”kicks the can down the alley”.
Who in their right mind, besides trolls, would actually use that phrase in an official document?
So, no coincidence, but funny as hell!
October 28th, 2009 at 10:14 amIan’t this a little passive agressive, though? When you deal with ‘The Arnold’ you would think he would whip out a machine gun to get his point across.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:14 amhe also veto’s universal health care for Californians:

October 28th, 2009 at 10:18 amRight back atcha, Ahnold!
October 28th, 2009 at 10:19 amI don’t really like Arnold as a politician, but I gotta say…this is pretty funny. I don’t care what he says….that is absolutely deliberate.

Sucks
If Arnold was really pissed at them, he’d just come down to the Capitol building and terminate them.

October 28th, 2009 at 10:27 amawesome. pure awesome.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:29 amHA!
October 28th, 2009 at 10:30 am1 in 8 billion.
I have seen that number before something to do with some Alaskans chances of becoming VP
October 28th, 2009 at 10:31 amOff Topic. Seems Sen. Inhofe had a hissy fit yesterday. When he went on his Anti-Climate rant, many turned a deaf ear. I guess even the Repugs think he is an embarrassment.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:31 amThere are crazy people, and then there are the crazy state legislature repiggies in California.
I feel his pain.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:33 amThis is borderline Glen Beck material.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:35 amfantastic. obviously not a coincidence, especially since the spokesman said “When you do so many vetoes, that’s bound to happen,”. Classic.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:35 amIntentional or not, nice bit of inside humor there.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:37 amhe’s done zero for that state.
and it shows.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:37 amCalifornia is ungovernable and has been since Prop 13. How in the fuzzy hell are you supposed to govern responsibly…when you need a 2/3 majority for ALL tax increases in the state?
i.e., Arnold’s not solely to blame…even for the veto of single payer. It’s likely the courts would’ve blocked it’s implementation.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:49 amIs there no veto override by the legislature in California?
October 28th, 2009 at 11:00 amVeto of a unanimously passed bill is wasting more of their time.
All this proves is that even a moderate Republican is unfit to run a state honestly and seriously.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:02 amEnnuiDevine: “i.e., Arnold’s not solely to blame…even for the veto of single payer.”
Whatever. The big phony sure isn’t helping matters. Californians are strange. We allow a bunch of crooks from Texas to game our energy system and ruin our economy. We turn around and blame a Democratic Governor for that and throw him out of office as Swartzy sneeks in there. He proceeds to run up bigger debt, more gridlock and does even more fundraising… and people just love him. I’ll never understand it. He may be an engaging personality, but he’s added to the ruin in California. Republicans just can’t be trusted these days even if they call themselves “moderates.”
October 28th, 2009 at 11:06 amDear Ahnold,
Before issuing this veto,
I wish you had considered
The Port of San Francisco’s
extreme funding crisis.
More revenue will have to be found,
even in this hostile political environment.

If Arnie had written the note, it would have spelled out “fickt es.”
October 28th, 2009 at 11:20 am38. Perry,
That would translate to “fk it”. If he was going informal, it would be “fick dich”. But, since he was addressing a lawmaker, it would likely be “Ficken Sie”. Have to show respect, you know
October 28th, 2009 at 11:27 amI agree. Gray Davis (whose recall was funded by Republican Congressman Darrell Issa–who wanted to be governor) was removed for far less than what Swarzenegger has done.

The moron troll thinks that California’s US Senators are actually in the state legislature.
Stupid is as stupid does.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:53 amGotta admit that made me giggle.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:56 amSomeone seems to have too much time on their hands to even discover this “secret message”.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:57 amAnyone notice that the first line is “I” — I guess Arnold’s true feelings may be being revealed…
October 28th, 2009 at 11:59 amworkerbee: ““Unneccessary bills”

Hey stupid! This is about his veto of state government legislation. Feinstein and Boxer work at the Federal level. God these trolls are morons.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:14 pmSorry, gumble. I now see that you corrected the silly troll.

Go back your sheet of talking points, troll. You’re obviously not smart enough to solo.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:38 pmWhat a strange coinky dink. :-D
October 28th, 2009 at 12:42 pmIt is NOT funny if you’re a Californian. We need some real statespeople, not movies stars and sycophants. Ronald Reagan and the Gropernator have done a lot of damage.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:45 pmAnd yes, without repealing Prop. 13 nothing can ever improve.
Kudos to the Bay Guardian (excellent paper) for noticing this – but how the hell did they do it? I think they must have been tipped off.
Until you learn to act like a professional, Mr Governor
October 28th, 2009 at 1:08 pmpersonally, I don’t see you getting anywhere’
You always remind me of a spoiled child with too much time
on your hands.
Undoubtedly, you have a huge ego, which is keeping you from
really tackeling the problems confronting us.
So, until you decide to get serious, I will ignore you,
Considering the other more important issues
of today I hardly think its appropriate
infusing invectives into the debate. But
nobody should expect anything less, nor
come as a surprise to the well informed
in the know people of this nation. Like
drunken pigeons in late summer, Arnold,
entrusted the position as Governor knows
nothing or anything he says will go without
criticism. And still he pulls this juvenile
empty-headed stunt.
May I suggest the Governator abstain from
yellow attacks on opponents in the future
All Mr. Schwarzenegger can do know is to
October 28th, 2009 at 1:26 pmsend a public apology to the assembly
so we can put this story behind us.
I would like to commend all the anagram-creators in this thread.

October 28th, 2009 at 2:11 pmYou know what…. he may be a Republican… but this only makes me like the guy more – though it’s not that clever, it’s been done before – but it has Arnold written all over it, and I don’t find it offensive – I find it to be truthful and innocently funny. It’s written well too.. there’s no obvious spacing issues.. or conspicuous phrasing. Also, I’ve generally felt for him… from what I’ve heard he’s tried many ways to help in California’s financial plight – and every attempt has been shut down by the congress.. Republican or not, he’s alright in my book.
October 28th, 2009 at 3:01 pmIf California state law allows for veto overrides then the state Assembly/Senate will have the last proverbial middle finger on this issue. Seeing how it passed unanimously it would appear to have the votes.
Gotta admit is was kinda funny though statesmanlike only in its thinly cloaked subtlety.
October 28th, 2009 at 6:02 pmAs a Californian, I can’t stand him as Governor. I have no problem with people moving to a new career, but his refusal to leave his moviestar personality behind really frustrates me. Like it wasn’t bad enough to have that Idiot-in-Chief, I had to have the Governator in my state too? Barf. I tried to give him a fair shake, but all I get from him is he does not take governing seriously.
This thread though, and the great comments, cracks me up.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:14 pmLooks like it was purposeful to me. “I find it unneccessary to sign this measure at this time”? Odd choice of words, if you ask me.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:32 pmI’m starting to like this “you lie” stuff. Everyone should do it. I mean, it’s obvious that every politician lies and distorts, but it’s good to shout it out sometimes.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pmNow that is priceless!
October 28th, 2009 at 8:04 pmYou can tell by the word choices that this was intentional.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:25 pmI don’t care who you are, but that is just funny!
