He's sure got a way with words ... because Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger arranged them in such a way, that an official letter to a lawmaker contained a secret 4-letter slap in the face.
Check out the letter Aahnald penned to a Democratic lawmaker who had heckled the Governator at a recent event in San Francisco. It looks harmless ... until you begin reading down the left-hand margin...
For the record, Arnold's rep called the hidden message a "coincidence."
Buyin' that?

Dear Gov. Schwarzenegger,
While you were Twittering a few minutes ago about the "swift action" coming to Maria, your scofflaw wife was at it again -- jawing away on a handheld cell phone while driving in Brentwood.
But it gets worse ... while Maria was illegally yappin' away (the third time she's been photographed doin' it) she saw our cameraman catching the illegal activity on tape -- and that's when she dropped the phone in an attempt to cover it up! The tape does not lie....
Arnold, the fines are bad enough -- but do you have any idea what your Verizon bill is gonna look like?

Maria Shriver's in hot water....
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has finally caught wind of his wife's illegal -- and habitual -- cell phone antics ... and now he's finally gonna do something about it!
Ahnald just went on Twitter and dropped the following note to Harvey Levin:
"Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention. There's going to be swift action."
Those Democrats -- they never learn ... right Arnold?

Maria Maria, cell phone cheatah! It appears Maria Shriver broke the law prohibiting driving under the influence of a cell phone -- a law her hubby supported and signed into law last year.
Kaleefornia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger apparently can't lay down the law in his own home. Maria was photographed twice driving her car while holding her cell phone -- most recently last Sunday in Los Angeles.
Had Shriver been busted, she would have owed the bankrupt state of California $20 plus fees for the first offense ... $50 plus fees for the second. BTW, we need every dime we can get.
We called the Guv's office and Maria's rep yesterday -- radio silence.

Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger ... a big man with a big ride on the one hand ... on the other, a Republican lefty who wistfully rides along nature trails.

Failed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin sure likes to finish what she starts ... she just announced she's stepping down as Governor of Alaska later this month.
Palin also said she won't seek a second term in 2010 -- Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell is set to take her place.
It's not clear exactly why she's turning her back on the citizens of Alaska, but people suspect she has her sights set on the White House in 2012.

We've been on the hunt in Buenos Aires, Argentina and found the bar where Governor Mark Sanford brought his mistress -- so how do you say PDA in Spanish?
Carlos Soto, the owner of Guido's Bar, says he's seen Sanford and Maria Belen Chapur there several times over the last few months -- most recently last week.
Soto says they were "all over each other" last week in his bar, "kissing, holding hands and drinking wine."
Soto was impressed with Maria, saying she has "un cuerpazo'" -- translation: a banging body.
Soto also said Maria has green eyes and dirty blonde hair.

Action just seems to find the Governator -- Arnold Schwarzenegger's plane made an emergency landing this evening because of smoke in the cockpit.
The guv's plane was about ten minutes from touching down in Santa Monica, CA when the pilot reported the smoke, according to KTTV in Los Angeles.
The pilot made a quick, steep, and safe landing at Van Nuys airport, just north of Santa Monica.
Everyone onboard is okay. Arnold even twittered about the landing, saying it was, "a little adventure."
Yes. Ahnald twitters.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D, CA) didn't hold back when we asked her feelings on her state's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger -- blasting his performance and comparing it to a "-0" star movie.
Coincidentally, that's how how most people felt about "Batman & Robin."

Guess? co-founder Georges Marciano owes almost two million dollars in back taxes to the state of California -- the very state where he's running for governor.
TMZ obtained the tax lien which shows Marciano owes $1,750,986.76 in unpaid taxes, and that's actually an improvement! According to the paperwork, the clothing giant was originally $3,250,986.76 in the red before he made a $1.5 mil payment.
Earlier this month, Marciano announced he's entering the race as an independent. And this part is priceless: If elected, Georgie boy is promising to audit all of California's banks.
A rep for Marciano tells TMZ that George "is not aware of it."

While the financial crisis looms, The Gov refused to talk taxes or Obama ... but yesterday in Brentwood, there was one thing Arnold Schwarzenegger was willing to flirt with: A hot chick in the parking lot.

With California bankrupt and in a drought emergency, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon riding his bike with his bodyguards.
How does the 61-year-old find the time?!

If George W. Bush can be President, Tim McGraw can be governor of Tennessee.
And that's exactly what he intends to do, says the New Republic. He's been considering the idea for a while, but apparently Tennessee Dems are heating up the stove on Tim, trying to get him to run against Bill Frist in 2010.
Imagine Faith Hill being First Lady of the Volunteer State. And we know he's got the abs for the job.

The bad news for Sarah Palin: She lost the election. The worse news: She had to go back to Alaska.
There aren't any Saks or Neiman Marcus stores in the Last Frontier.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS -- Gov. Rod Blagojevich wasn't in on the joke. Blagojevich says he didn't realize "The Daily Show" was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes-puzzled Democratic governor.
"It was going to be an interview on contraceptives ... that's all I knew about it," Blagojevich laughingly told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a story for Thursday's editions. "I had no idea I was going to be asked if I was 'the gay governor.'"
The interview focused on his executive order requiring pharmacies to fill prescriptions for emergency birth control.
