Schwarzenegger's F-Bomb

OK, I never post in the political forum and I have no particular interest in California politics, but I heard about this today on the radio and didn't know whether to laugh or get mad!

I like Arnold, but I think there's a place for decorum. I have no doubt that it was intentional, although the staff denies it. Still, pretty funny

Did Schwarzenegger drop 4-letter bomb in veto?

Quote:

(10-27) 19:19 PDT SACRAMENTO -- Did Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office use a coded veto message to send the f-bomb to Tom Ammiano, soon after the San Francisco assemblyman made news by telling the governor to "kiss my gay a**"?

Schwarzenegger's people say no. But the X-rated evidence is hard to miss in a message that Schwarzenegger sent to explain why he was vetoing an Ammiano bill dealing with financing for the Port of San Francisco.

A straight reading of the guv's letter laments "the fact that major issues are overlooked while many unnecessary bills come to me for consideration," and concludes, "I believe it is unnecessary to sign this measure at this time."

But a vertical read of the far-left-hand letters in each of the missive's eight lines offers a more blunt explanation: "I f- you."

Okay, that is pretty funny. Or coincidental.

I am going to have to start checking what I write here on CC posts. Perhaps I am saying bad things, all the time, without meaning to!

Ahaha, if it is done on purpose, it is very nicely done. I don't think most people would make it so blatantly obvious though. I am very far left but this is such an accident lol.

What a lot of bluster over nothing. People getting their knickers in a twist over this probably also believe in the Bible Code, and that we've all in deep do-do come 2012

brilliant,,,,,

read it carefully, it's obviously intentional. the letter is pretty vague and meaningless if you don't look at the left-hand letters.

hahaha thats hilarious - glad the rep that received that letter seemed to have some sense of humor about it

Pretty funny! Obviously intentional. Does anyone seriously think it was not done on purpose? But really, students in my high school did the same thing with the school newspaper some 40 years ago. They thought they were so clever, avoiding teacher censorship and all.

I remember kids in my school with Sam Houston Institute of Technology T-Shirts. Hi-larious.

Definitely talking highbrow humor here, Hunt. Like that time we had you paged at the bar. (Please page my friend, Mr. Michael Hunt, he goes by "Mike")

I think it's pretty funny, myself. Good for Arnold.
