Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sent this veto letter to a San Francisco assemblyman in response to a finance bill. The letter is short and to the point, but it’s the words the left-most column of letters form that make it epic.

From the SFGate:

Schwarzenegger’s press secretary, Aaron McLear, insisted Tuesday it was simply a “weird coincidence.” He sent us veto messages the governor sent out in the past with linguistic lineups such as “soap” and “poet,” which he said were also unintended.

“Something like this was bound to happen,” McLear said.

Maybe. But the veto message came after Ammiano called the governor a liar and shouted from the audience to “kiss my gay ass” when Schwarzenegger unexpectedly showed up at a Democratic Party dinner in San Francisco on Oct. 7.

Ammiano later called Schwarzenegger’s attendance at the event a “cheap publicity stunt” that wasn’t at all amusing, in light of the governor’s cuts in social services, ordered furloughs of state workers and failure to act on some gay-rights issues.

The governor’s veto letter was in response to Ammiano’s AB1176 – a rather mundane bill meant to help San Francisco’s port with finance issues. The “coincidence” was first picked up on Tuesday by the Bay Guardian newspaper.

As for Ammiano, a professional comic in addition to being a liberal Democrat, he’s playing it straight on this one: “They probably think they are even now,” he said.
