Matt Littman is a bleeding heart liberal bafoon. I think he is actually Mary Pat…..
How’s that Hope and Change working out for you Matt?!?!?! Let’s see, your Messiah is against Gay marriage and refused CA finacial bailout money – LOL! your savior is really letting you and your ilk down down down
Hope and Change (verp)

Dr. Mary Pat Jordan   July 22nd, 2009 - 6:51 pm

You might as well forget it L’Arse. Nobody here will look at your fecking wack job videos.

SharpAsAMarble   July 22nd, 2009 - 7:23 pm

It’s beyond me… what possible connection could there be between weilding a knife and cutting the state budget?

Maybe it’s some kind of really obtuse allegorical thing he’s trying to do… oh, if only I knew what the word ALLEGORY meant! …but I went to a public school.

Gee, i just wish he’d talk like us simple folk out here in cauliflornia instead of his fancy Australian accent!

Keep a shrimp on the arnie for me, eh, Mate?

Greg   July 22nd, 2009 - 7:38 pm

This Matt Littman is a tool. What do you expect from a liberal, their idea of balancing the budget is taxing everyone into submission. Get the illegals out of the system and you would not have to make these cuts. But, does it really matter in education? CA. spends the most per pupil and get the worst results in the nation. I see the liberal method is really working.

Dr. Mary Pat Jordan   July 22nd, 2009 - 7:46 pm

Where are you L’Arse? I left the doggy door open last night and you didn’t show up. Only a big possum. Or was that you after all? I thought I recognized that toothy grin.

To SharpasaMarble   July 22nd, 2009 - 10:00 pm

You are not too sharp if you actually think Arnie is AUSTRALIAN!!!
WHAT A DOLT you are.

Dave, Tn   July 22nd, 2009 - 10:17 pm

Remember when the propagandist in Plantation New York tried to tell us Arnold was the ideal Republican? No thanks you lying morons.

Liberal Hypocrisy   July 22nd, 2009 - 11:25 pm

“Matt Littman is a political speech-writer and blogger”

In history past, when George W. Bush ruled the country, liberals maligned “bloggers” as unaccountable, uneducated, lying story-tellers who made up stories about their darlings (Clinton, Kerry, Obama).

Now, bloggers have authority to speak clarity and truth to the masses.

Liberal hypocrisy on display.

Matt Littman should get a real job.

Joe   July 22nd, 2009 - 11:36 pm

screw you Matt, take a hike, quit your state job, close the schools until all the illegals are out of the system.

Bobby   July 22nd, 2009 - 11:43 pm

I really like to punch this Matt Littman guy in the face. What an asshole!

hex   July 23rd, 2009 - 12:19 am

No bias in this report now is there??? What a joke.

F. Meglin   July 23rd, 2009 - 1:12 am

Hey Lil’ Littman, did you know that Obama actually called in the head of the CBO to ball him out for telling the truth about the massive cost of his insane healthcare plans? He don’t want anyone to know anything, so he rushes it through his congress in the middle of the night for a vote when nobody has even read it. Ask any congressman if he knows what the bill contains and he’ll look at you like a deer in the headlights!

Obama is on course to totally ruin America for the NWO, but many people, even dems are finally catching on to his schemes, and poor bam doesn’t like it! Notice B.O. is getting madder in his speeches as his poll numbers continue to plummet.

Just faggetit Oblama and Pelousy, we ain’t buying the marxist crap you’re sellin’ !

Johnny Utah   July 23rd, 2009 - 1:13 am

Yeah hes holding a knife, so what. The Predator DOES have invisibility people

Dream   July 23rd, 2009 - 1:15 am

Who cares what Little Matt says,he’s a bore. Its people like him that supported the policies that caused this mess.

jason   July 23rd, 2009 - 1:23 am

It’s about time Shwarzendumkopf get some cahones.

See what else we think here:

Replying to To SharpasaMarble, who said:

“You are not too sharp if you actually think Arnie is AUSTRALIAN!!!
WHAT A DOLT you are.”

Ask a friend to explain the joke to you.

NOW who’s sharp as a marble?

krogman   July 23rd, 2009 - 2:03 am

What did this little, smirking weasel, Littman, ever accomplish in his life to justify his shallow and offensive opinion being published so broadly? Is the producer his neighbor? How much in California state taxes has Littman paid in to justify his opinion being considered newsworthy? He’s a “blogger.” That means he’s marginally employed, sitting around his house in his pajamas, spouting off his forgettable opinions.

M   July 23rd, 2009 - 2:06 am

The whole signing cars thing seemed like a joke to me. Even if it was not a joke, how long does it take to sign a hundred cars. I would say no more than two hours. If each car makes an additional 1000 because of the signature, that is an extra 100k. That is not bad for two hours.

So what other things can Arnold do in two hours?

Come on people (in particular, the people in this video clip). Give Arnold credit. He is thinking outside of the box. In the private sector, we call this innovation. duh.

aguyfromtexas1   July 23rd, 2009 - 2:14 am

Good job Governator on listening to the taxpayers finally. No new or higher taxes! As long as you stay true to that and sign a balanced budget you’ll be ok in my book. Oh yea you can’t just let 27K prisoners go. That’s just stupid. Yea and you gotta fund education. Hmmm anything else? Oh yea you got put out all the fires that ravage this state every year. So don’t mess those things up and we cool pimpin.

Jitpring   July 23rd, 2009 - 3:11 am

It IS insensitive, a wonderfully insensitive stab at today’s PC thought-police castrati. Keep it up, Arnold!

CapatilistAmerican   July 23rd, 2009 - 4:41 am

Why should he quit? Because this fruitcake says he should? This guy is a moron.

Peter Markosomos   July 23rd, 2009 - 4:51 am

SharpAsAMarble July 22nd, 2009 – 7:23 pm

“It’s beyond me… what possible connection could there be between weilding a knife and cutting the state budget?”

Yes, what could a knife possibly have to do with cutting? Idiot.

drolmorg   July 23rd, 2009 - 5:12 am

Darn good thing he got the Palin dig in at the end, there. That’s a good statist.

Alex   July 23rd, 2009 - 5:25 am

I love you, Arnold.

raoule   July 23rd, 2009 - 6:30 am

I hate that horrible blinking the poor guy gave at the end of the interview : does he take himself for a disney cow ?

lengis   July 23rd, 2009 - 6:57 am

Wow.. arnie decides to try and make some money for the state so he can put people back to work, and this dumbass decides to comment on the knife?

Trimming the fat maybe?

jbh50   July 23rd, 2009 - 7:50 am

Ahnold just jumped the shark.

JustAnotherGuy   July 23rd, 2009 - 8:46 am

“Quit now. Let Sarah Palin do it.” Classic.

Mark   July 23rd, 2009 - 9:23 am

Governor the people who actually pay taxes love you. The people who bleed the system and abuse the system but have time to go online and complain all day hate you. Which group should you care about? I think you already know. Keep up the good work.

Andy   July 23rd, 2009 - 9:28 am

I’m a liberal, probably a terrible thing to admit to on breitbart, but I laughed at the video. I also dig the Governator’s watch. Anyone have any clue as to the make/model on that beauty?

Brandon   July 23rd, 2009 - 9:41 am

Matt Littman you are a blind hack.

Niko Bellic   July 23rd, 2009 - 9:49 am

Commando doesn’t screw around. Now, if he starts wielding a rocket launcher then perhaps there may be a cause for concern. I like that one guys commentary about Commando needing to be doing other things than making a 27 second twitter video.. I’m sure it’s just fine for Obama tho’ to utilize the social internet tools, but not the rino Governator.

Rex   July 23rd, 2009 - 9:50 am

Call that a knife mate?
My Grandma’s got letter openers that are more manly than that!

He is “Arnold” for pete’s sake!

Bloggerz GTFO   July 23rd, 2009 - 9:56 am

Matt is a “Blogger” – All bow down to the self-proclaimed whiners… I mean experts. We should all greatly appreciate the input from these chumps writing from the comfort of their bathroom or table at the coffee shop!

rwang   July 23rd, 2009 - 10:02 am

Actually, that was kind of funny – using a knife and talking about cutting. Does anyone here understand metaphor?

California, wake up, you can’t spend forever with no money.- this psychotoc government spending will ruin us all!

Also, I don’t know who Matt Littman is – but he comes off as a big pansy! This is a big non story.

SkyPilot   July 23rd, 2009 - 10:36 am

Is this a Governor or an actor ???? And a knife is this on gangland

GreatStuff   July 23rd, 2009 - 10:57 am

Good analogy. California needs to make massive cuts in it’s budget and what better way to do it then a huge Rambo knife.
Sorry California, your bureaucrats have destroyed your state. One thing that was said was correct, Arnold should never
have become the governor of a state that was/is in such a dismal welfare status quo.

joe   July 23rd, 2009 - 11:32 am

is that knife legal in california?

Ethan L   July 23rd, 2009 - 11:38 am

Matt Littman is a quack

Justin W.   July 23rd, 2009 - 11:45 am

I’m glad that most people here seem to understand how the media is attempting (with a degree of success, I’m afraid) to twist this into a scandal. Using a knife to cut the state budget seems like appropriate imagery to me. The report didn’t even show that in video, only stills. Cowards. How stupid do they think we are??!

“Is there any way the governor can REDEEM himself?” Thanks for telling me what I’m supposed to think of this.

Steev   July 23rd, 2009 - 12:21 pm

Littman is a big pussy. A smug, smart assed pussy.
He’s probably upset because a speech writer wasn’t used in the making of the video.

I’d rather watch the Gov vs. that troll Waxman. Waxman, seriously, was he an extra on Lord of the Rings, no makup required?

Or how about Maxine Waters the defender of Fannie Mae and their god-awful management.

Let’s not forget the racist “I’ve worked hard to earn my title” Barb Boxer.

Ryan   July 23rd, 2009 - 12:29 pm

@Andy… I like it too, but I’m not sure what it is. That’s a crown-cap for sure… definitely an early Russan diver style, prior to screw-down-crown technology when they made a cap that threads down on top of a crown. Maybe a U-Boat? They have several in that design… http://www.uboatwatch.it/main.html, but most of them look like lefties. But honestly – I think it’s an Invicta. They’ve made a russian diver model for a few years, check this out… http://www.invictawatch.com/new/product/watches/watch_2625.jpg. His looks titanium though and this is steel. One thing’s true… we know it’s not his AP T3 right??

@everyoneelse: Matt Littman is a tool. ABC blows. That is all.

Tom Amlie   July 23rd, 2009 - 1:23 pm

Why the heck does Matt Littman think anyone cares what he thinks? The guy’s a meaningless hack.

Lewis   July 23rd, 2009 - 1:27 pm

I wonder what you have to do to have a snobbish, elite, tight rear, narrow minded view on this video. How do people get tunnel vision…. over a knife and question his motive? He is looking for ideas and asking for public input. Should he ignore everyones ideas or be open to ideas. Wow just because you dont like somone maybe you should come with a better reason for him to step down than “he held a knife during a video blog”.

Plus, if he could help out by signing cars to raise money to help the crisis in Cali even if it is a small help then do it. I say make him sign every car they can find!!!! He has other issues that call in to question his leadership….but this isn’t one.

-Its the foolish person who try’s and expect to win every engagemnt and battle…but forget it is the war that matters.

That is a huge knife but not huge issue….get real.

Jam   July 23rd, 2009 - 2:23 pm

WHY DOES THE LIB-LAB MEDIA ALWAYS FIND LITTLE PUNKS LIKE THIS A-HOLE FOR AN OPINION ABOUT CONSERVATIVE POLITICS???? We need conservatives like that whenever the One opens his pie hole ….

Nicole   July 23rd, 2009 - 2:36 pm

quite frankly i don’t see what the big deal is and i’m put out that anyone thought this was news? why aren’t we reporting on starving and abused childred and the raping of the planet? or things that are important, like assisting our wounded veterans back in to their homes… this is ridiculous and the reporting agency obviously has nothing better to do.

Ed   July 23rd, 2009 - 2:53 pm

I don’t really care one way or the other what video Schwartzenegger puts on his Twitter page. I just thought it was funny that in the final seconds of the report Matt Littman killed his own credibility. ABC News should be ashamed that they couldn’t find a valid professional opinion. Nice job, Matt. Don’t put that interview on your résumé.

Nelson A.   July 23rd, 2009 - 3:20 pm

Matt Littman is less than a hack! His commentary is not worth commentary but he is a prime example of the media who sits so far to the left that they actually believe we listen to them any more.

Listen closely Matt because I will only explain this to you once.

Governor Schwarzenegger was using the knife as an illustration device showing he was “cutting” the budget. Get it? Knife / Cutting!

By the way it’s not Australia…It’s Austria !

As for the Governator…Give Em’ Hell Arnie!

Thank you for asking the real bosses of government for their opinion and ideas…..the American taxpayer.

Those of you in government who think we are not watching just keep thinking that because the next thing you know will be the knock on the door when we come for you.

Matt   July 23rd, 2009 - 3:26 pm

People if Arnold had control of the state for one day he could and probably would fix things. The fact that he has to push a change through so much opposition (mainly asshats that think this is actually newsworthy) means that he wont be able to change anything. Anyone ever hear “Don’t hate the player, hate the game?” As for Littman, the camera never shows his feet otherwise we could all see his clown shoes.

TurnRighton49   July 23rd, 2009 - 3:45 pm

SharpAsAMarble-an appropriate moniker. Your self-deprecation is as unamusing as your comments.
Kudos to the Governator for thinking outside the box as someone else mentioned. As for Littman,
way to go to get your 1:35 of fame from the liberal mainstream media. Now, shut up and crawl
back into your home office and quit bothering us.

Hapscan   July 23rd, 2009 - 4:28 pm

Don’t you just LOVE those unbiased news reports? The media lost all credibility with me and half the country when they criminally got obama elected to the Oval Office. Don’t believe a word the media says, unless they are a conservative news source. Conservatives actually feel led to tell the truth, whereas liberals don’t even know what truth is anymore. They have been telling bald faced lies for so long now that they’ve completely lost touch with reality. I don’t watch network news anymore. What’s the point? Might as well read Pravda.

Jamie   July 23rd, 2009 - 4:29 pm

Did anyone notice the giant terminator statue right behind him??? in the California oval office??????? Really??

Ryan TX   July 23rd, 2009 - 6:14 pm

Arnold is a god send and the antidote for politics as usual that continues to erode our society. Imagine a politician that actually works for the people!

It is initiatives like waste watchers http://www.wastewatchers.ca.gov/
that gives me hope that there is still time to turn this country around.
I hope to see this program implemented in every state immediately.

Give the power of government back to the people.
Arnold, feel free to come run Texas any time.

J in Hawaii   July 23rd, 2009 - 7:33 pm

Matt Littleman, you need to beg Arnie to borrow that knife so you can go cry in a corner and cut yourself.

Rex   July 23rd, 2009 - 8:59 pm

He clearly said cuts in the budget. It’s a pun. If Al Franken had said it would be hysterical to you libs.

Signing the cars is an idea that came from the viewers.

Yes some crazy people will pay more for anything with an autograph on it.

That’s a good idea.

All you famous Hollywood libs should get your butts down to the auto pool and sign these cars to raise money for your State. It’s the least you can do.

jOHN   August 14th, 2009 - 8:43 pm

Littman was just on a news program whining about Sarah Aplin and said ” In a few months she’ll be dating Flavor Flav”. I’d like to see that say that to her husband. The little sissy wouldn’t have the guts. Ad besdies that, someone ought to tell him that Flav isn’t interested in palin….he’s satified right now getting head from Littman’s mother.

colleen   August 17th, 2009 - 7:48 pm

Somebody tell Matt the snarky liberal jabs are so tired. He looses all credibility when he talks in such a manner. I feel sorry for the guy. He’s so bitter I expect him to crack in a thousand pieces any minute. Who wants to live like that? What’s wrong with him?

Kevin Eshbach   August 18th, 2009 - 1:57 pm

Now that’s what I call a real letter opener!

dbf4n   November 19th, 2009 - 9:38 am

While having little sympathy for the Governor, I doubt that Matt Littman has any bright ideas on how to manage the budget. The bottom line is that California spends too much in many of the wrong places… As far as teachers are concerned we could likely begin with school administration and management. Yes cut!

Freemon SandleWould   November 19th, 2009 - 10:46 am

I think Arnie is going to become what he should have been all along. A free thinker and free speaker. You see he’s doing a good job of making fun of the aggregate California voter and politicians. They magically think they can spend money on their socialist enterprises and nothing will come of it.

Well I say Arnie you go. They’re a bunch of fools and they deserve to be made fun of.

I can not wait till the day the well runs completely dry on California. Liberals need to see the consequences of their actions. Bad doggy! BAD! I want to see their noses rubbed in it!
