Mark Skeen: fighting fire with backing out of interview

Mark Skeen is the executive vice president of the San Jose Fire Fighters Union. He also appears in an anti-Arnold Schwarzenegger ad, but he's only identified (AFAIK) as a firefighter, and not as a union executive.

The TV commercial is one of the sleazy ads that discusses a remark from an Arnold ad:

In the latest such call, a few days ago, Schwarzenegger's media expert, Don Sipple, outlined a strategy "based on a lot of polling" to create a "phenomenon of anger" among voters toward public employee unions. Firefighters, police officers, teachers and other state-paid workers have become the governor's harshest critics this year.

The ad makes it sound like Sipple wanted to target individual union members, not the unions themselves and their leadership. Now, John Ziegler of KFI reports that Skeen had agreed to appear on his show and then backed out...
