PEOPLE, Page 87Arsenio Strikes Back
By MICHAEL QUINN
Forget ARSENIO HALL'S dustup with Jay Leno. It was a
love-in compared with the late-night gabber's latest tangle.
After White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater casually dissed The
Arsenio Hall Show, Hall's on-air response was a scorching
"Excuse me, George Herbert-read-my-lying-lipping, slipping-in-
the-polls, do-nothing, deficit-raising, Quayle-loving-Bush, I
don't need you on my show. My ratings are higher than yours."
Only Hall could pull off such political palaver -- or want to.
For all of Arsenio's celebrity mongering, Hall's guests have also
included Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson, and Hall has devoted
whole programs to issues like gang warfare and the environment.
"The press covers such shows now," says Hall, "where previously I
guess it was more important whether I was boinging Paula Abdul."
