Spat Between Schwarzeneggger, Pro-Marriage Equality Lawmaker Gets Creative :: EDGE Boston:

"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger typically attaches a message to bills he signs or vetoes telling lawmakers why he took the action.

A Democratic assemblyman who heckled the governor during a recent event in San Francisco actually received two messages: the veto letter itself and a not-so-subtle rebuke creatively hidden within it.

Like a find-the-word puzzle, the second message was visible by stringing together the first letter of each line down the left-hand margin. It consisted of a common four-letter vulgarity followed by the letters 'y-o-u.'

'My goodness. What a coincidence,' said Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear. 'I suppose when you do so many vetoes, something like this is bound to happen.'"
