[NOTE: The Sacramento Bee (a Democrat apologist organization) gave this article the headline "Gov. Schwarzenegger's testicle sculpture a flop" -- but that's not how the story is playing-out on the Web.]
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.
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 Republican governor and the Senate leader.
According to the sources, Schwarzenegger's gift was in response to an earlier gag gift he had received from Steinberg: a package of mushrooms after the governor called Democrats' budget proposals, which included tax increases, "hallucinatory."

Is that one of those Tata cars?
Bingo!
And the Dem rejected them like a vampire rejects a cross.
Did Steinberg return them because he already has a set, or did he return them because he does not know what they are?
Or, is this just more evidence about how humorless the Marxists are?
Does Steinberg know Barbara Boxer? Maybe she wants the gift. Maybe she would graciously accept them, just do not call her "Ma'am."
