Truth is stranger than fiction... fresh off his demand for equal time from NBC in the wake of the governor appearing on Jay Leno's show, Democrat Phil Angelides is getting his own nationally broadcast interview tomorrow morning...

with Adam Carolla.

So you don't know who Carolla is? Well, let's just say the comedian's nationally syndicated radio show is edgy. On his website, you can see photos of some of his former guests... including a guy who has a tattoo of Don King on his armpit.

This afternoon's press release from the Angelides campaign probably isn't supposed to be funny... but it is:

"Angelides will appear on the show after the 80's glam rock band Warrant, and prior to Hugh Hefner's girlfriends."

In case you were wondering, Governor Schwarznegger was apparently invited, but hasn't yet responded. The interview is scheduled for 8:25 am PDT.

[update, 5:24 pm-- Okay, okay, so a lot of folks do know and love the wacky Carolla. And yes, he does attract an interesting demographic... young men... for Angelides to reach out and try to sway. But I suspect Carolla will spend most of the interview making fun of Schwarzenegger. Call me a skeptic, I guess. --JM]

[update, 8:15 pm-- The Angelides camp says I missed the joke... they were indeed poking fun at the other guests, in addition to their guy, on tomorrow's show. Add "literalist" to my above self-created title of "skeptic."]
