Dan weintraub on Schwarzenegger's appearance on Howard Stern:

Quid pro schmo?
Arnold Schwarzenegger survived his stint with radio shock jock Howard Stern today, a segment in which Stern seems to have intentionally turned it down a notch to protect his buddy from embarrassment. But the segment had its moments. Stern brought up Cruz Bustamante’s use of the “N-word” and asked why that wasn’t getting more attention. Schwarzenegger said “everybody makes a mistake” and that’s not what has put California in a bad way. Stern asked him if he wanted that “other jerk-off” Republican to get out of the race, and Arnold brushed off the question, saying he just needed to get his supporters to the polls. Stern asked if Arnold would repeal a Los Angeles law restricting lap dancing, and Arnold said no, that’s a matter of local control. As Arnold tried to drone on with a version of his stump speech, Stern kept trying to interrupt him with a demand that Schwarzenegger give him something in return for his support. Stern said he wanted something named after him – a road, a bridge, a school – or a job in the new administration which he could perform from New York. They settled on giving Stern a title, and Arnold promised to get back to him with something. But after the interview, Stern decided that having a park named for him would be even better, and he suggested that such a promise from Arnold would energize the show’s listeners and help the actor win “in a landslide.”

McClintock on Hannity and Colmes now.

Sean is a fan of his (we went round and round the other day with some McClintock supporters).

McClintock ably knocks down Alan's parroting the idiotic liberal line about the consistancy between Florida and California. Either these libs are all stupid or plain evil with their lies and misrepresentations.

McClintock on Hannity and Colmes refuses to say he would accept Schwarzenegger's support if (by some miracle, IMO) he overtook Arnold in the polls.

Very ungracious and petulant sounding. He sounded good talking about the facts regarding the court, but sounds very very small and petty when it comes to Schwarzenegger. (Also said he's a good filmmaker and his role, should he, Tom the Great, ascend to the governorship, should be to go make movies. He gave him a verbal pat on the head. So condescending.)
