Reason on the (Local) Tube: Tim Cavanaugh Bids Adieu to Cal Budget Fooferaw

Last week's endgame over the California budget prompted Los Angeles Fox affiliate Channel 11 to run a budget miniseries on the 10 O'Clock News, with Tim Cavanaugh (Reason's Richard Chamberlain) in the lead bloviator role. Here are the last two of Cavanaugh's Cable/Ace-nominated appearances opposite anchorwoman Christine Devine:

Thread Jack, but I just saw this Fisher Price STEVE SMITH robot at Target:

People complain about the failure of Gov. Schwarzenegger to live up to his expectations, but few realize that he's merely part of the Predator trinity:

First, Jesse shook the world with his win in Minnesota.

Next, Arnold made some rhetorical splashes as governor of California.

Finally and soon to come, Carl Weathers will come as the perfect, libertarian governor of a state to be named later.

Wait, the budget wasn't on time? I never even noticed. I guess if you don't own a television there's no one to tell you when to panic.

You know, that reporter has some ugly knees - maybe she should consider wearing pants only...

Or a burka. Just sayin'...

[Spiny Norman]

Tim wore pants, of course. He knows his limitations.

For as mamby-pamby as Schwarzeneggar turned out to be, I'll give him credit for standing up to the unions and for making this his legacy. After all, 40% of $17.9B is still a big cut ($7.2B), especially for a state as Blue as CA. Kudos, Arnold!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in that first clip the reporter closed with "Thanks Jim" instead of "Thanks Tim".

No respect, I tells ya.
