Schwarzenegger's testicle sculpture a flop


Schwarzenegger's testicle sculpture a flop
By JULIET WILLIAMS, Associated Press Writer

Thursday, June 18, 2009


(06-18) 16:50 PDT Sacramento, CA (AP) --

It was a gift no girlie man would give.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has said legislative leaders are going to need fortitude to solve California's $24.3 billion budget shortfall with deep cuts to cherished programs.

To help with that, the Republican governor sent Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg a metal sculpture of bull testicles, intended as a gag gift.

Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat, was not amused and returned the football-sized gift with a terse note about the seriousness of the ongoing negotiations.

The account was given by sources within the Capitol who were familiar with the situation. They said they were not authorized to speak on the record because it was considered a private matter between the governor and the Senate leader.

9. Cheapskate probably bought "truck nuts" sprayed silver.
They're banned on the roads in a lot of states, and they're declasseé anyway, so he must've gotten them cheap.
