Well, never say the Californian’s aren’t batbleep crazy. Assemblyman Tom Ammiano went crazy on Gov. Schwarzenegger during a Democratic fundraiser on Wednesday night telling the Governator to “kiss my faggot ass!”. Classy. Before I go on, why was Schwarzenegger at a Democrat fundraiser?!?
Apparently Ammiano has some what of a reputation for being crass and was a former nightclub comedian, so maybe he just doesn’t know any better. Crass is one thing, but lying is something else. Ammiano released the following statement:
“The Member did not use the term ‘faggot’ at any time in his comments towards the Governor. This story has been reported on widely already and his comment was ‘You can kiss my gay ass’, he did not and would never use the pejorative term that you listed.” -Quintin Mecke, Communications Director for Assemblymember Tom Ammiano
I’ll let you be the judge. The comment comes at about the 1:00 minute mark:
Gov. Schwarzenegger Heckled
Eh, I don’t know Rep. Ammiano, sounds pretty clear to me. It sounds like a first he says “kiss my faggot ass” and then about 3 seconds later he again yells “kiss my ass”. In my book that word is pretty offensive and ranks right up there with the “n” word, so if he did yell that out it’s pretty appalling. I love it when politicians release press statements that are basically blatant lies.
As expected, Schwarzenegger took it all in good stride saying that his reception wasn’t too bad especially when “compared to the reaction I got in Hyannis Port when I told the Kennedys I was marrying Maria, it was fantastic.” Good one.
Ammiano is about par for the course in the California assembly though, never was there such a hive of scum and villainy outside of the Star Wars catina.

Well if you know Tom at all you know he would not say that, yes he would say “kiss my ass” but not what is being referred to. Also if you know Tom you know that is not his voice, he sounds much different.

people should be respectful of Schwartzneggar as he is really trying to do a public service when he could be doing other things. He has been very effective in getting California the best fire fighting talent and tools that could be gotten and gone to the sites and helped boost morale and energy in a way another gov. couldn’t. california is near impossible to govern sensibly for a lot of reasons. at least he trys to be efficient and influence others to do the same with the limited power he has, as well as be progressive on some key issues important to the public. Politics in california is very contentious, every bit as much as washington except the governour only controls a small amount of the budget as so much is legally mandated already.

[...] Tom Ammiano, seeking sex with Governor Schwarsnegger? It sounds like it, considering he yelled “Kiss my faggot ass” at him when the Governor was introduced at a Democrat fundraiser [...]
