Did Schwarzenegger say f**k you to legislature?
Did Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger mean to hide a message in this note?
(CNN) - Was Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's message to state lawmakers unhappy - or obscene?
That's the current debate in California after the governor sent a letter directed to "Members of the California State Assembly" that appeared to have a subtle but pointed message hidden within the text.
The seven-line note in which the California Republican blasts the legislature for not advancing his administration's proposals on a host of issues appears innocuous enough at first glance.
But upon closer examination, the first letter of every line collectively spells 'f**k you'.
A spokesman for Schwarzenegger said the governor had no intent of hiding the message within his note, calling it a mere "coincidence."

what are these guys talking about..... instead of passing important legislature, they want to sit around and focus on whether the letter spells f**k you. What is this country coming to? for crying out loud!
The governor is actually sick and tired of inaction on important issues, and is desperate for action. (no pun intended)
Instead of focusing on the important things, we focus on every other bit of nonsense. No wonder we are in this great recession.
SHAME ON THE LAWMAKERS IN CALIFORNIA!!!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP CALIFORNIA???
Either way, it's great.
Nice one Arnold! NY's legislature needs some butt-kicking too.
My hope is that it was intentional
I appreciate that the capitalization is correct too. Top shelf
I love this. This state is being run into the ground by these sorry excuse of representatives. THEY ALL NEED THE BIG F. YOU. I hope this was really done on purpose, not just a coincidence.
It's obvious that Gov. Schwarzenegger sent a message that the state legislature needed to hear.
Hi fives and congratulations on a job well done to Gov. Schwarzenegger.
HaHa! I just can't believe this was on purpose, but coincidence is mind-boggling too. Either way, good message...including the "f**k you"!
So what! Good for him. The idiotic luny liberals in CA have ruined a once powerhouse of a state. Califiornia is a joke.

Someone should be throwin' it back in their faces...
Funny, but lets not go all Da Vinci Code here...

If this story had a "like" button feature, I'd be all over it.
It would be appropriate for every taxpayer in America to send the Schwarzenegger f*** bomb to Confress for their equally poor performance on the issues.
For some, reason people have nothing to do but look for things like this.
Unfortunately the law that went unsigned is lost in all this
Can you imagine how much more would get done in California and DC if politicians spent less time on thi ssort of thing?
Knowing when to made a mountain out of a mole hill should be the firts days training when becoming a politician
YOU see- anyone can play this game!
Now, if we just had someone send that same message to the US congress. That's exactly the message they need, Dems and Repubs alike.
Coincidence? HA!HA!HA! ....BRAVO Arnold!
I love how non-Californians proclaim to know what's going on here. Of course it's easy to blame the "liberals" running the state the ground *rolls eyes*. You all have no clue about our election laws that prevent anything useful from happening. Anyone have a clue about the supermajority they need?
We've also had a REPUBLICAN governor the last few years. Educate yourselves before you keep fanning the same old liberal v. conservative flame that would make useless Rush proud. It's really getting old.
Arnold is my hero 🙂
Are you Serious? This is absolutely ridiculous to pick apart his message so minutely and project something he never said. Grow up Media!!
It's funny that "Lucas" here in the comments blames liberals for CA's downfall ... but the initiative Gov. Arnold wants to pass ARE ones which "liberals" would favor - it's the "hands-off-government, do-nothing for everyday folks" GOP'ers who have repeatedly stalled on issues to help CA citizens.
AWESOME!
Go Arnold! With more governing bodies were that bold. Even if not intended.
Whoever picked up on this one needs to get a life!!!!
You don't want a passive aggressive governor running the largest state in the country!
