Well, I DO think Carole Migden is off her rocker and a complete disgrace. And I have absolutely no dog in this race whatsoever. However, I am not suggesting Migden is a dog, even if she is completely barkers. As for Leno being a stoner, its a joke based on Leno pushing to get a bill passed that would legalize hemp.

I'm fine with insane as well, Brock. One can be barking mad and still be a effective public official (see Pete Stark). Integrity and lunacy are not mutually exclusive. (In fact, I see some correlation between the two.) What cannot be tolerated is corruption. And that's what is at issue here. Legislators are obligated itemize expenditures. Otherwise campaign contributions can amount to what is little more than a bribe. It's that simple. Even more disturbing to me is that Migden has been a repeat offender in this regard. I don't think Carole Migden is insane. To the contrary, I think she's a savvy political operator. That's why these recurring allegations are so disturbing.

So did Midgen report Leno yet as revenge? Any hidden camera bedroom shots surfacing? Tapped phones? Telephoto lenses? Poisoned pets? Planted drugs? Murder threats?

omg, he's a pothead? Whoa! Great gossip. I had no idea! Strange. Well, I personally tend to side with the insane, so...

It seems like a pretty easy choice. Candidate A is clearly bonkers, bananas even. Candidate B is not bonkers, but is in all likelihood something of a well-groomed pothead. Bananas vs. guppie stoner. Matchup of the century.

Come on let the sock puppets fight it out. That is most of the fun.

"Can't you hug it out over VERY STRONG MEDS at the Lex?" Fixed.

I'm a long time Migden cheerleader. But I'm afraid Leno has a substantive complaint here.
