If there's one thing we learned from terrorists in the eighties, it's that you don't piss off Arnold Schwarzenegger. We never learned a second thing, because they were dead by then.


"Hasta la veto, baby"

San Fransisco assembly member Tom Ammiando found this out after insulting the Governator, who responded by shooting down Tom's financial restructuring bill with the following letter:



So far, so boring. But engaging our patented ZUG Prank-O-Vision (TM):



The best bit is that this was only Stage One in a multiple prank warhead, a MIRV of mockery airbursting all over the assemblyman. When asked about it, Schwarzenegger's spokesman said:

"My goodness, what a coincidence that it would say something along the left-hand margin. But I suppose when you do some many vetoes, something like this is bound to happen."

He then pointed out that the words "ear," "poet," and "soap" could be found along the left edge of other messages written that month.

That's an order of magnitude more F-you. When someone starts a not-apology with "My Goodness," they've just verbally slapped your other cheek and said "You're damn right I did it and I still think it's funny." The "what a coincidence" transforms it from an admission of guilt to an outright celebration, and providing additional examples implies that the staff pored over old messages specifically and solely to F-you some more.

Besides, compared to how he used to deliver his one-liners, Tom got off lucky.

You have to admire that Austrian's gall.
My favorite Schwarzenegger pun is from Commando.

"Thank you.
And do me a favor...



Don't disturb my friend.
He's dead tired."
