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."
–CNN's Carey Bodenheimer contributed to this story.
LOL, well maybe some executives do need to tell their state assemblies this. The time to cut spending is here, we can no longer pass the tough choices onto the next generations.
Here in NY with a budget shortfall, our state assembly increased spending? Increased their pay? increased staffing for themselves? NY leads all states with loss of population and business over the last ten years. Do you think it could be the high tax rate? Hmmmmm
Are state or even federal governments too big to fail? And who bails them out? China? the time has come. NO More spending, no more new laws, no more bail outs, only reduced spending, reduced regualtion, and reduced government is going to be required.
Among other things, I'm a mathematician. The odds of this being an accident are essentially zero.
Good on the Governator!
Wish more politicians where more upfront and direct as this message comes-off. If anyone took offense, then oh well, take it as what you believe....
That's a "coincidence" and Sarah Palin's a Democrat. Recall Schwarzenegger now!
ha! this is quite clever, whether it's intentional or not.
Whether he did or didn't mean to, way to go Arnold !
I like this guy. Right to the point.
Well, it MAY have been unintentional, but it certainly was apropos.
you forgot about the last two letters,the S and A or state assembly.
If it was coincidental, I would like to see someone calculate the odds.
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people that will be complaining about it are just upset that they didn't think of it first.
Hey Arnold has a tough fight with all those liberal Californians that want free hand outs from the state disregarding the actual cost to their state deficit!
If you look more closely it actually says "I f**k you"... 😉
This is overreaching
Haha, that's great, regardless of intention.
I don't think he meant to, but considering the way the entire State Assembly has been behaving, I wouldn't blame him!
What was Assembly Bill 1176 about?
If he did that, good for him. I feel the exact same way about the Assembly! You go Gov!
Kudos to Arnold for b-slapping some moron in the state house.
Figures the media would read that in anything Arnie does..........Geeze
That's classic. 🙂
I'm not a fan Arnold, I don't wholly dislike him either. Two things interest me about this article:
1) He vetoed this "San Francisco area" infrastructure bill while a nearly 80 year old bridge is (and has been) literally falling apart. Probably not the smartest of decisions.
2) CNN is resorting to four-letter words with asterisks to seemingly sway the reader into being angry at the governor. Nowhere in this letter to the assembly does it say, or infer anything except "I don't like your bill, send me a bill that i like". But to CNN, I guess that means he's saying "..f**k you to the legislature"
Top-notch reporting there folks. "Did CNN say f**k you to mature, neutral journalism?" What a joke.
Now he wants to appear like he a governor? Please Arnie. Go back to making bad movies.....
Good for him, we are sick and tired of the tax and spend Liberals bankrupting California.
Okay, now that's funny! Way to go Governor Terminator!
Hilarious. 🙂 HOWEVER, a.) every first letter spells "f**k you" only if you leave the first sentence out (which starts with I), and b.) there's nothing about the sentences that seem "contrived" just to get that affect. I don't think this was on purpose – which would make it even funnier.
Oh, and CNN? Grow up.
