Groper's Tonite Show appearance "official"
Edited on Wed Oct-11-06 09:41 PM by mitchtv

It turns out that Schwarzenegger's appearance on The Tonight Show is being considered an "official" visit - meaning taxpayers are footing the bill for his trip.

You and over 2,700 people have flooded The Tonight Show's mailbox in the last 2 hours - but we still need to make sure as much noise as possible! Can you help?

Click here to ask 10 of your friends to tell NBC not to give Arnold a free multi-million dollar infomercial!

Thanks!

Re: Taxpayer-funded Leno Laughs

Several minutes of exposure on one of America's most popular late night talk shows? Worth millions.

Not having to answer tough questions from reporters? Fantastic.

Having the taxpayers foot the bill for The Tonight Show jaunt? Priceless.

Tonight Arnold Schwarzenegger will receive from NBC and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno what can only be described as a free multi-million dollar infomercial when the Governor appears (in violation of FCC equal time rules) on The Tonight Show.

As if being handed what amounts to millions of dollars worth of free exposure on national television four weeks from Election Day and as Californians are already casting absentee ballots weren't enough, it has now come to our attention that the taxpayers of California get to foot the bill for The Tonight Show visit.

That's right folks. The Governor's own spokesperson has confirmed that the Governor's jaunt to hang with buddy Jay Leno is "official," which means taxpayers get the bill for this trip.

It is an insult to the people of California that Governor Schwarzenegger has time to pal around on a talk show but doesn't have the time to debate his opponent and defend his record. After spending $35 million in his campaign of mass deception, the last thing the Governor needs is a gift from the network.

Schwarzenegger should reimburse the state for this trip
