As NewsBusters readers know all too well, Democratic elected officials across the fruited plain are used to softball interviews from their adoring media.
That's not what California Governor Jerry Brown got Wednesday when conservative talk radio host Larry Elder told him, "You're unhappy because I'm not kissing your butt. I'm not going to do it" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
During their ten minute chat, Brown and Elder discussed overcrowding in California's prisons, as well as the controversial bullet train.
When Elder pointed out that there's no way this train will be run without state subsidies, Brown replied, "You don't think the freeways are run with subsidies? The airports are run with subsidies. Come on. It costs money."
