(AP) — SACRAMENTO, Calif. - It was a gift no girlie man would give.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has warned lawmakers they need to act boldly and make some tough budget choices, sent Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg a metal sculpture of bull testicles.

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

Steinberg wouldn’t appreciate Rocky Mountain oysters either.

Don’t be too quick to declare the gift a flop. It’s more than likely Darrell Steinberg has no idea what testicles are about nor what they look like.

The host of Special report, Bret Baer, said today that there were no hard feelings over the gift.

I thought he was going to chuckle over that line,

All those steroids Ahnold did shrunk his own testicles. Sometimes people give the gift they want for themselves....

Did Ahnnald purchase the cajones de toro with taxpayer money?

Um, EEWWWW!!!!

What a juvenile gesture.

Ahrold’s cajones are in a lock box (humidor). Doesn't anyone see that this was a total flop by AS. The dumb @@S apologized for it. Now who is the girly man?

[Blood of Tyrants]

He sent them back because he is not allowed to have any balls.

If it’s a flop, shouldn’t it be a sculpture of his, uh, well...

intended as a gag gift

That was completely gratuitous.

And therefore, bravo to the writer.
