This is a funny roasting of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at his Wrap Party (celebrating the end of his Administration on Dec. 16, 2010) by, "The Big 5" in a Christmas song adapted from the original, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" (originally in the 4th edition of 'The Nursery Rhymes of England' (1846).
The "Big 5" refers to an informal institution in California State government which includes the Governor, Assembly Speaker, Assembly minority leader, Senate President Pro Tem, and the Senate minority leader.
In the video, the song is led by former Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg (from 1996 - 2002) on the left beginning the song. The others were:
- Fmr. Assm. Speaker Fabian Nunez (2004-2008)
- Fmr. Minority Senate Leader Dennis Hollingsworth (2008-2010)
- Fmr. Minority Assm. Leader Mike Villines
- Fmr. Minority Assm. (1992-1995) & Senate Leader Jim Brulte (2000-2004)
- Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (current 2008-)
Were you there backstage hanging out with Fabian? That guy used to get drunk during budget negotiations. He is a total waste. Glad he is gone.

Hey choice lady, Don't you remember Arnold admitted to sexually harassing those women, but they never got their day in court, or any form of settlement and Arnold should have been arrested and thrown in jail. he is a freaking immigrant born into a Nazi family, personal friends that were Nazi war criminals and Arnold was violating his right be a US citizen. glad he is gone.

It's just a roast, and NO they were not drunk - just being silly. You have a problem with good will?

I am OUTRAGED that on his way out, Schwarzenegger paid off Democrat buddy Fabian Núñez by reducing his punk son Esteban’s manslaughter sentence from 16 years to seven. Luis Santos was murdered! Arnold’s actions confirm what Luis Santos' father Fred said: “Privileged people have the feeling of entitlement, that they are above the law and that they should be treated differently.” Well, Schwarzenegger just proved Fred right.

Lighten up, for pity's sake. It's Christmas, it's a farewell party and it's a roast.

Were these people drunk? It certainly looks like they are. I wonder what other countries must be thinking about our Government officials. they are probably thinking that our State Government is run by a bunch of adolescent drunks.

It's too bad each of them didn't flip off the Governor at the end of the song.

This is sad that a bunch of grown adults have to act like immature children because our Governor is a complete idiot.
