Null and Vetoed: "Chance Coincidence"?
In late October, 2009, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed Assembly Bill 1176 (Ammiano). gov.ca.gov/pdf/press/2009bills/AB1176_Ammiano_Veto_Message.pdf. The veto reads as follows:

The backstory to this is Arnold showed up, uninvited, at a San Francisco Democrats dinner. Tom Ammiano, author of the vetoed bill, shouted "you lie!" (mocking Joe Wilson), and after a rein of boos came down onto Arnold, Ammiano followed up with "kiss my gay ass." My Calitics colleague Brian Leubitz had the full story on this when it happened last month.

So when Arnold decided to veto Ammiano's AB 1176, he and/or someone on his staff decided to send a message, proving that the Republican Party is comprised of a bunch of 8 year olds.

Arrrrrrnold can't back down from girly men.

If Pete Wilson hadn't been stupidly corrupt Arrrrrrnold would still be making crappy movies in which he proves he still can't act.

I don't find the behaviour of the Democrats as decribed all that adult either. After all, this was a raucous Democratic Party event and Tom Ammiano is special. ... He's just Tom Ammiano.
