Gary Coleman didn't win California's recall election, but he'll still get a political platform on the new Hollywood-based All Comedy Radio network. The 35-year-old former child star will be the network's political analyst and said his experience as a candidate will come in handy in this new assignment. Coleman finished eighth out of 135 candidates vying to replace Gov. Gray Davis in last week's election, losing to fellow actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Among the topics he'll tackle will be the 2004 presidential election. "We're delighted to have a commentator with such keen insight and experience as Mr. Coleman," said All Comedy Radio co-founder and chief executive officer Michael O'Shea. "The way we look at it Gary was 'Arnold' before Arnold was cool," he said in a statement, referring to Coleman's character on the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes." The All Comedy Radio network has been on the air for about a month and has more than a dozen affiliates nationwide. Coleman begins his on-air political commentaries Friday.
HAHAHA...that's pretty good!
In the words of the (now faded away??) comedian Yakoff Smirnoff, "What a country!"

Hmmn, seems he would make an excellent Lt. Governor to replace Bustamoney in the next election! Of course, that would remind folks of the movie "Twins".
If he doesn't do that...he'll be a mall-cop again.
