Politics not just for news shows anymore

bushdealIt was an weird week for political appearances on TV, Jay Leno noted on NBC’s “Tonight” show:
– “Well, earlier this week, all three presidential candidates made appearances on the WWE’s ‘Monday Night Raw.’ How many think having candidates for president appear on a wrestling show cheapens the political process? How many think the wrestling show was cheapened by having the candidates on?”
– “And Monday night, President Bush made a surprise appearance on the TV show ‘Deal or No Deal.’ Yesterday morning, first lady Laura Bush was a guest host on the ‘Today’ show. I understand tomorrow, Vice President Dick Cheney is set to play his own evil twin on ‘Days of Our Lives.’”
