Angelides Supporters Protest Outside NBC Studios

BURBANK, CA -- Supporters of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides staged a noisy protest this afternoon outside the NBC studios in Burbank where Governor Schwarzenegger taped an appearance on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.

Angelides' campaign manager says she sent a letter to NBC requesting equal time for Angelides, but never received a response. An NBC spokeswoman says the network never received the letter.

When asked by Leno about television campaign ads attempting to link Schwarzenegger to President Bush, Schwarzenegger mocked the notion, says "To link me to George Bush is like linking me to an Oscar."

Schwarzenegger also said a "lot of mistakes" were made during the war in Iraq, but ducked a question about whether Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should be fired.
