Democratic assemblyman to Schwarzenegger: 'You lie!'

October 8, 2009 | 11:53 am

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made an unannounced stop at a San Francisco Democratic Party gala Wednesday night -- and wasn’t exactly greeted with open arms.

When the Republican governor took the podium and began to speak, San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano shouted, "You lie!"

It was a West Coast reprisal of GOP Rep. Joe Wilson’s now-infamous outburst during a congressional address by President Obama last month.

Asked today about his own outburst, Ammiano, a liberal Democrat, said: “It’s not like you’re in a chamber and you sit there and suffer. It’s our house, it’s our event.”

4. C'mon....one could say that about ALL politicians.

Why did he get heckled with a "you lie!"?

[JuniperLea]

5. I wouldn't say ALL...

Ahnold has been particularly untruthful lately, but I'm having a hard time finding what he was talking about in this case.

6. How big his genitalia are.

3. It was just like Joe Wilson except The Grope wasn't the featured speaker

he wasn't even invited and he's not a Democrat. Otherwise, it was EXACTLY the same.

I'd have walked out, and demanded my money back.
