Radio show backfires?

From the LA Times:
"Only days after urging Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to renounce questionable sexual comments made to high school students by a Republican assemblywoman, Democratic challenger Phil Angelides sat through a morning radio talk show Thursday without objecting to a series of dubious gags about sex, ethnicity and an elderly female guest."
The excuse you ask? "Angelides said his performance was not inconsistent with his earlier comments about Schwarzenegger. He defended it as being within the context of a comedy-based radio show." Hasn't he lived in California long enough to know that our are politics are comedy-based to, at least at their finest?
Some of the jokes Phil let slide?
"an earlier African American guest was described as a "tall glass of chocolate milk" while Angelides was in the station"
"Angelides' appearance came after a segment in which a 20-year-old African American man named Master agreed to kiss a 72-year-old white woman named Sara to win a ticket to an upcoming promotional event at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills."
"Carolla made a joke about a "May-casket" romance, playing off "May-December," and said Sara had a case of "jungle fever," a pejorative reference to white women attracted to black men."
"An anonymous voice-over also alluded to Angelides' ethnic background with a sexual innuendo."
"You get a Hacky Sack and a dime bag and a moped, you're into any community college," Carolla said, then added after Angelides said 300,000 students have dropped out over the cost: "That's because their stepdad kicked them out of the garage and they had to get a job."
"If you can't afford junior college…. ," Carolla cut in. "I'm going to ask that once you're elected, Phil Angelides, you change it to 'junior, junior college' just to bring a shame element to it because I feel like it's a graveyard that stupid people go to to die."
