In a nod to bi-partisanship, Gov. Schwarzenegger has sent a clear message to one his Democratic legislators. Gov. Arnie always includes a note attached to a bill that he signs or doesn't signs letting the bills author know why he is taking the action he did. It's usually a boilerplate note either congratulating them on proposing a bill that serves the people, or telling them to try harder next time. 

In addition to his boilerplate note, he attached the following missive to a bill he didn't sign authored by San Francisco Assemblymember Tom Ammiano. It should be noted that Ammiano was a prominent heckler of the Gov when he attended the State Democrats Convention last month at the request of former Speaker Willie Brown. Among other taunts, Ammiano is reported to have called the Gov a 'liar' and shouted that he could 'kiss my Gay ass' as he walked out of the event. So here's the Gov's message:

Now that in itself is hardly newsworthy - except that some sharpie noticed another message embedded in the text. And it's not that hard to find - just one of those simple 'Read Down the Left Margin' kind of things. If you're having trouble seeing it, the message begins with 'F' and the second word is YOU.  

When asked about the note,  the Gov's office replied:

"My goodness. What a coincidence," said Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear. "I suppose when you do so many vetoes, something like this is bound to happen."

Silly stuff - and if you want to read what the San Francisco Guardian had to say about the matter (as if you can't imagine what the liberal blogs are saying) just click here: Arnold to SF - FU

Calif is bankrupt.  Legislation to cure the problems for the entire state are more important than special interest hand outs when the well has run dry.

Not only has our well run dry, our whole state water system is in danger. Yet the special interests still line up with their hands out. As one of those special interests we are certainly adamant about getting the most bebefit for our members and clients but most of our legislation doesn't cost money - in fact most of it actually reduces state costs.

Funny that the 'gate is holding up Ammiano as a respectable Legislator - despite his childish antics - yet screaming about Arnie's "childish" hidden message.

Gene -

It's so nice to see our Governor back playing the role of Arnold, as opposed to his alter-ego, Schwarze-neutered!

Wish this Arnold would have been our Gov for the past 5 years. We might have gotten something accomplished.

What a creative staff he has to come up with this message.  Though he, himself may not have actually been aware of the left margin thing.

Cute.
