Why Is Arnold Schwarzenegger Brandishing A Gigantic Knife? (VIDEO)

So, I guess this is what is happening, in the world. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made a video for his Twitter followers yesterday, and for some reason, he is holding a gigantic goddamn knife at the beginning of it. Seriously, look at that thing. It looks to me as if, in the moment before this video begins, he's just looked at the crazy, massive knife and asked it, "Well, who's your Messiah NOW, knife?" And then he sat there, waiting for his ginormous knife to give him an answer, only it didn't, because it's a huge honking knife. Or maybe this extra-large piece of cutlery speaks with a voice that only Arnold Schwarzenegger can hear! I don't have the answers to these questions, but trust me, I am terrified.

Anyway, Arnold then goes on to thank his constituents for all the "great ideas" he's received for "cutting the state costs." Only...and maybe this is just me, okay...he sounds sort of sardonic, and mean? Anyway, you Californians should think, long and hard, about that super-sized, terrifying knife he was holding in his hand and give your governor a wide berth, today.

I think Jason Linkins is a girlie-man for being so afraid of Arnold's (as Linkins put it: gigantic goddamn crazy massive ginormous huge honking super-sized and terrifying,) knife.

I love how he pronounces California.

I can just imagine him saying, " I am a Governator sent from the future created by to protect the great state of California"

Cool knife though, looks like a giant pocket knife.

I've always admitted that Ahnold has a sense of humor -- indeed, sometimes a wacky one.

Sadly, for me, that does not remotely compensate for the level of detestation I have for his political positions.

I couldn't understand a word of what he just said.

Just when you thought Glenn Beck packing heat inside a movie theater would give one pause, THIS?

This is more stud posturing and phallasy than anything else.

[mnDem]

WTF Buddy...

[chriseggroll]

He'll need a knife that big to proctect himself from all the criminals that are about to be roaming the streets.

[eden4barack08]

What about that clock on his arm?

[JPFranklin]

I was thinking the same thing. Selling that thing could probably cover San Quentin's operating budget for a year.

[cocl]

Well, considering how gigantic budget cuts he needs to make, no wonder he needs a gigantic knife to do it with...

[AlexFTW]

Is he prepping for his upcoming career in Ginzu infomercials?

[joebiz]

Ha Ha, very funny. What a trog.

He's showing his false "compassion" for the downtrodden that will suffer from his program cuts: the poor, minorities, lower income tax payers. This is the same primate that had the opportunity to make cuts when times where good by using a line item veto.

According to George Skelton of the LA Times: "For Schwarzenegger to rail about the state not living within its means is disingenuous, to put it politely. He's as guilty as anyone -- at minimum a co-conspirator. In fact, he's directly responsible for a significant portion of the current $26-billion budget gap."

The knife represents retribution for past governatiorial negligence.

Grey Davis was recalled for this "man." I think he believes that he really is the parts that he plays in his movies.....fantasy becoming his reality

[maisnon55]

Maria Shriver, I have now decided is no friend to me. To marry this guy and stay with him, she had to be impressed by macho, hating poor people, hurting poor people attitude of his. She had to be impressed by his violent movies. She married a man who is antithetical to everything liberal. She betrays her family.

[pissedmichael]

Not to mention the fact that he is chauvinistic in the extreme. My governor. I'm embarrassed. Grey Davis was robbed.
