California Election 2006 Watch: Phil Angelides – “I Saw Al Franken NAKED”

Sacramento Bee: Democrats’ delight: Candidates get airtime as Franken brings radio show to Sacramento

Democratic gubernatorial contender Phil Angelides turned to Harvard classmate Al Franken – author, liberal satirist and foil to conservatives – to burnish his progressive political credentials.

But as he sat down Wednesday for “The Al Franken Show” – which broadcast live from Sacramento’s Crest Theatre for the Air America radio network – Angelides pitched one extra detail.

“This is where I reveal to the world where I saw Al Franken naked,” Angelides announced.

California State Treasurer and Governor candidate Angelides better do better than this if he wants to beat California State Controller Steve Westly in June.

Other Quotes (Laughs??):

“Let me ask you this,” Franken said. “Does your opponent in the Democratic primary have a name?”

“Yes,” Angelides responded, still refusing to serve it up. “He also has a checkbook. He’s written $22 million in checks. He has a checkbook as big as Schwarzenegger’s ego.”

Good luck Phil…….
