SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed a bill that would have made the birthday of gay political icon Harvey Milk a statewide "day of significance."

In his veto message issued Tuesday, the governor said that while he respected the measure's intent, he thinks Milk's "contributions should continue to be recognized at the local level."

3. What a dick.

I guess MLK should only be recognized on a "local level".

4. I can't wait for him to just go away.

I remember when Harvey Milk was murdered. It was sooooooooooooo sad!

9. He truly is a POS. Do you remember when he wanted to have dogs put down

after 48 hours instead of 72?

I hate that man. He just made the list.

10. ... and Fuck the Fuckers who voted for him.

I voted for Phil.

[EFerrari]

11. I did, too. And fuck Dick Cheney for our fake power shortage.

We were *this close* to losing California altogether. Remember Kevin Shelley? He was our Dem Secretary of State that was the first one in the whole country to go after the voting machine scams. They were only able to run him out of office because Davis was gone.

We were *this* close to going straight to hell.

12. Ah, yes. The GOP's Great Aryan Hope voting the way The Party tells him to.

You're a hack and a never was Arnold!

Get back to the gym.

[EFerrari]

13. I think we should just celebrate that day anyway.

And it should start off with a mock recall of the Grope as we "recall" Harvey.

14. Typical.

n/t

15. I honestly don't know how Maria does it.

I mean, she has her own money.
