Following months of sweet talk and back-slapping, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) faced criticism on July 19, 2004 after calling Democratic legislators 'girlie-men' and urging voters to 'terminate' them at the polls. Sacramento lawmakers irked Schwarzenegger by failing to meet a July 1 deadline for a $103-billion budget amid disagreements over funding for local governments.

Wow.. they really *ARE* girlie-men!
So just how dim are the CA 'rats?
Truth hurts.....
Sac area ping.
Okay, Arnold, next try "obsfucating pink tu-tu wearing pigeon-toed swishers."
The California liberals have gotten the Government they deserve.
Unfortunately, the rest of us are stuck with idiots like Burton to.
Good. The Democrats are behaving like spoiled and rotten brats. So they won't get candy? Its not Republicans' job to make life easier for them.
These California 'Rats getting so upset about having their masculinity insulted reminds me of how effective the psy-ops teams in Iraq were during the Battle of Baghdad: they'd question their manhood over a loudspeaker and the illegal combatants would get so enraged they'd come rushing out into the open to take on our tanks with nothing but an AK74 in hand, and our boys would easily pick them off.
So stupid. All they have to do is deflect the comment with something about the budget needs to be (clap and point) pumped up. Similar response rather than crybaby complaints.
To paraphrase Ferris Bueller;
Democrats are so uptight that if you stuck a lump of coal up their ***, in two weeks you'd have a diamond.
“Burton said the remarks could set the budget process back another two weeks…”
Because of this? The budget isn’t important? Maybe Arnold was right!
That ain't bias???
I don't think the dems there can recover from such a humiliation. Arnold went over the heads of the dems and the media, and he gained the sympathy of the California voters, who will want nothing to do with weaklings such as the dems. The dems will find it hard to regain whatever respect they had prior to Arnold's insult against them.
FREEP THIS POLL: On RIGHT side of screen.

Last time I looked,, 80% said Arnold should NOT APOLOGIZE!
In my mind i think of backroom negotiations between Ahnold and a demorat consisting of a headlock and a girlie voice whimpering the word "uncle'.
What gets me is they are more worried about what he's saying about them rather than obeying the law by having a budget in place on 7/1.
Norm, I'm going off here on "Burton"... Excuse me, John Burton! YOU as SAG did NOT do your job when it came to the issue of "gay marriages" in SF. Nor have you done your job in past matters on issues of which YOU personally disagreed. John Burton is indeed a Girlie Man Democrat. What would the oh-so-friendly John Burton say now with regard to all the gerrymandering he's DONE IN THE STATE OF CA for HOW MANY YEARS? (done shouting; thanks, Norm! ) :) Would he suggest the "java" made him do these certainly unethical things? And wasn't it John Burton recently heard in a coffeehouse LYING about what he told listeners in re "Arnold told me he's not running again"? And wasn't it supposed to have been a "private confidence" (if indeed Gov Arnold said this?). Who needs friends and bi-partisan friends in particular, like John Burton. (I wasn't done ranting. Sorry Norm)
The first thing I thought was, "give 'em hell Arnold". I'm glad Arnold said to vote these "girlie men" out of office.
