Recall-O-Matic

An interesting turn of events in the California Governor's recall election. Unfunny, reactionary prop comic Gallagher is tossing his floppy hat into the ring.

Comedian Leo Gallagher is a definite in -- if he can get eight more signatures before Saturday's filing deadline.

"I want to highlight issues and say things that I know the other folks who are invested in political parties won't say,'' said the 57-year-old entertainer, who goes by the name 'Gallagher' and is perhaps best known for his sledgehammer-wielding, watermelon-smashing routines."

If elected, Gallagher's first official act will be the execution of rivals Cartottop, Rip Taylor and the Amazing Jonathan.
