So what did Phil Angelides talk about in his visit this morning to the wacky world of morning radio?

Well, a little bit of policy... interspersed with the rantings of talk show host Adam Carolla about taxes (he thinks they're too high), solar energy (he couldn't get money from the state subsidy program for home solar programs), immigration (Carolla thinks American culture is being "hijacked"), and a quicker way to Las Vegas (Carolla wants a monorail from Los Angeles).

In a chit chat that easily lasted almost an hour, Angelides carefully dodged some of the host's more outrageous comments, especially on immigration issues.

But he seemed to loosen up when the talk turned to Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Schwarzenegger is a bit of a blowhard," said Carolla. "He's like the Santa Ana winds of blowhards," replied Angelides. And it didn't end there, with Angelides describing the governor as "a guy whose hair looked like it was dipped in Tang."

Yowza.

For my money, though, the best moment was when the gubernatorial candidate joked around that one of his aides would like two tickets to Carolla's upcoming event at the Playboy Mansion. "I wanna be very clear," Angelides said. "They're not for me."
