Was he there as an entertainer or a politician?
OOPS! Sorry, they are the same thing aren't they?

I think Leno has the right to have on his show anyone he wants. Unlike some "other" late night talk show hosts who only has people on who represent his political views, Leno has on both democrats and republicans. Not long ago, he had on Ann Colter, I think, who wrote a book about "Godless Liberals" or something like that. The woman who liberals really hate a lot. He said he got a lot of mail from viewers telling him they'd never watch again if he had her on, but he said he likes to have people on from every side. I think Angelides (Is that his name?) is going to have a hard time proving Leno did this out of bias. And Angelides is just going to look like a big baby over it.

The media is once again solidly in Da Schwartz's pocket.
The other night there was a long story on the Sacramento NBC station about Awnold, then a short interview with his opponent traveling between appearances, then the Republican comment on the interview which had been shown to them prior to going on the air. Pretty sweet if you are the guy proposing $50 in bond issues (pay out will be double that) and complaining that the other guy would raise taxes by 18% of that.

The Problem is that Schwazeneggar is a famous actor as well so it depends on the content of the appearence and the number of prospective voters that watch Jay Leno

Amgelides has a list of complaints are they valid ? (Dont know)
I'll wait for the FCC to decide, but if you follow polls Amgelides is losing by double digits

The Jayster is NOT big on losers and Angelides is a big-time loser.
