There were plenty of laughs on the Assembly floor this morning as lawmakers poked fun at Gov. Schwarzenegger's small town comments.

As blogged here yesterday, the guv told a Beverly Hills crowd Wednesday that it's good for lawmakers “from those little towns” to go out in the world and see worldly things like “an airport,” “a highway that maybe has 10 lanes” or even “a highway on top of a highway.” More from the Sacramento Bee here.

Among those yukking it up Thursday was Clovis' Mike Villines, the Assembly's GOP leader. He joked that Fresno doesn't have airplanes. "We've got bass boats, but not airplanes."

Fresno, by the way, ain't so small. New population figures out today put the city at 486,116 people, the sixth-largest city in the state.

But I'm wondering what folks from one of the Valley's many small towns think about what Schwarzenegger said. Offended? Or is this all just good fun?

Update: I just got off the phone with Schwarzenegger's press secretary Aaron McLear who said the comments are being "blown out of proportion."

The governor was asked a question and was simply "suggesting that lawmakers ... get out and see what other countries are doing," he said.

I'd still like to know what you think.
