The show must go on
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals decision delaying the California recall election turned out to be a minor bump in the road. The full panel of the court reinstated the October 7 date. This was good news for the 90 losers and wackos who appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Conspicuously absent was Leno's good friend Arnold Schwarzenegger - I guess he's too scared to debate Gary Coleman, or perhaps it would be embarrassing to have to fill a whole ten seconds explaining his stance on the issues.
Anyway, the show was entertaining in the same way the watching the 700 Club is sometimes amusing, purely for the freak show effect. One candidate promised that if he were elected, he would take Ross the intern out on a date. Another wore some kind of alien costume. Porn star Mary Carey flipped the finger to the camera, summing up the contempt those who have foisted this whole repellent debacle on us, have for us.
It's becoming harder and harder to tell the difference between tragedy and farce...
