Schwarzenegger defends knife-wielding Twitter video Jul 22 09:28 PM US/Eastern Video: www.breitbart.tv/whats-the-deal-with-giant-knife-in-schwarzenegger-twitter-video/ California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger defended a video on his Twitter page which shows him brandishing a huge hunting knife as he talks about the state's budget crisis. Schwarzenegger, under fire for a budget plan announced this week that will see 15 billion dollars in spending cuts from services such as education and health care, said the light-hearted video was intended as a bit of fun. The movie-star-turned-politician brushed off suggestions from reporters in Sacramento that the video might be viewed by some as being insensitive. "You know, you sent a governor to Sacramento -- not El Stiffo, like some of the past were, but you sent someone that is a little bit more entertaining and has a little bit more fun with the whole thing," Schwarzenegger said. "Not that I have fun with making the cuts; they sadden me. But fun with the job itself, because I think it is the most rewarding job that I've ever done, even though with a huge responsibility. "So just relax and have a little bit of a sense of humor." California lawmakers are set to approve the spendings at a vote on Thursday which will pass a budget aimed at closing the state's 26.3 billion-dollar deficit. www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.283eadce35f0c0cf0f7bdddf92b968e5.101&show_article=1
