E-Mail Jay Leno Demand Equal Time for Gray Davis
Arnold got lots of free tv time tonight with Jay Leno, who also embraced the would be next Governor of California. It turned out to be nothing more than a free tv ad for Arnold. I think Leno should now invite Gray Davis to appear on his show--it's only fair. E-mail:

tonightshow@nbc.com

p.s.
does Leno only get right wing audiences for his shows? They gave Arnold a heroes welcome and seem to eat up every Leno slam on Democrats.

1. I Don't Watch Leno!
Leno is an arogant Republican Bitch! All we see on his show is Dennis Miller and here jokes about the Democrats!

4. I don't know about leno ..I could barely e-mail him but I did and
asked for equal time for Gray Davis!

Whatever happened when he had Hillary on not too long ago? Did that ever happen?

California is Democratic so why is Leno such a rePuke jerk?
Maybe they just stack the audience with a special rite wing group..I don't know.

5. Davis will get more votes if he stays OFF of Leno
Why should he argue for a favor that will bite him in the ass? He doesn't come across well at all.

(Which is still no excuse for his virtual abandonment by large segments of his own party. You gotta dance with the one that brung ya.)

7. Leno is a right wing shill
He doesn't care what you think if Bush doesn't tell him to care.

12. Actually
Leno is a long time loyal Democrat. His wife is too. It's kinda funny that every time Leno gets a Republican or Russert asks a tough question of a Democrat that we see all the wackos come out. These are guys who are BIG BIG Democrats but play it down the middle because that is their format.

14. Leno is a Democrat?
The guy seems to love Bush more than his own mom and he made fun of Clinton as much as anyone on the right.

Are you sure that he's a Democrat?

I have long considered him a Republican lapdog.

9. Amen...
Is the Leno show nothing but a political platform for the GOP?

You would think that Leno would of arranged the program so that it would of been held before or after AS's announcement, and not allowed the program to be used as the place for him to make the announcement. Name any other Republican or Democrat running for Governor, who would of had this kind of publicity when announcing their bids for office.

The networks used to have standards, and would fire hosts for crossing these kinds of professional lines. But this was before deregulation occurred and the fairness doctorine was shredded.

10. I am just so disgusted with American politics!
We make a sham of democracy (so called).

On another note, stay informed about the news the media is NOT reporting! http://www.zmag.org/ZNET.htm

11. When I do watch late night entertainment, it's not Leno.
I don't think he's as funny as David Letterman.

16. I'm no fan of Davis,
but you've got a point. Do you think GD would even show? I like Leno, but it got on my nerves that he'd have Dennis Miller on every week during the war, and after. I never thought of Jay Leno as a right-wing shill, but we're (Democrats, liberals, etc.) easy targets now, and he is a master of going after easy targets.
