LAist Interview
Earlier this week your trusty Chief was interviewed by LAist. While they are a competing blog, i thank them for their time and space to let your humble chief mouth off.
Now go play on the freeways tinheads!

Obviously they didn't ask you about the 80 neighborhood watches. So we can eliminate that point from contention right here. No CD 14 blogging on this post folks.

CD 1 here (Montecito/Cypress Park area), since we ALSO include part of Northeast and Hollenbeck, I'd also like to know where the proof is about Antonio's lies about the 80 neighborhood watches in our neighboring district. He's our mayor now, too, and we share many of the same SLOs.
None of them know anything about 80 new neighborhood watches and they would have to know, or they couldn't exist. (Plus, in the L.A. Weekly interview someone posted earlier, Antonio claimed he started all those in just one year, not the 2-year period he was on council). Wow!
CD1 wants to know, too, because if our SLOs are having to attend all those meetings (at least one a month times 80), that might explain why they never have time to reduce crime in our area.

The LIES just keep getting bigger, Faker. The MPs want you to stop telling people you're ex-military. You make that Cindy Sheehan person look sane, they say.

Chief,
Loved your interview!

Well, we are so much alike it's scary. The only thing we disagree on are Cardenas having a future and my favorite building is City Hall after the retrofit. There's also a chance I take the redline a tad more than you.
But aren't you a Republican? I can't abide being in so much agreement with a Republican.
Excellent interview with LAist.

Great interview. Now let's stick to the Mayor's rules and leave Pachueco out of this.

I hear Pachueco is going to do some kind of publicity stunt involving 80 watches.

Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez chose instead to impugn the integrity of the court by calling its ruling a “political decision.” He compared Chief Justice Ronald George and his colleagues to the U.S. Supreme Court justices who ended the recounting of votes in the disputed Florida 2000 presidential election — about the lowest slur a Democratic officeholder can hurl at a judge.
“It shows why a small group of unaccountable, politically appointed judges should not be given the sole power to determine who represents Californians,” Nunez said.

Actually, the proposal would not give judges, or retired judges, “the sole power to determine who represents Californians.” It would return that power to the voters, where it belongs and where it should have been all along.
Now, Schwarzenegger and his allies can begin in earnest to explain to voters why this issue, even if it is obscure, is so important to our civic life. Everything that happens in politics begins with the shape of the districts, and the kind of elections, and lawmakers, that flow from them.

Good plan, Faker, only on the e-mail.
That way the interviewers can't hear that tremor in your voice very time you utter lying Villarigosa's name.

I'm happy to leave "Pacheco" out of this, if you un-repentant slime master will either 1) stop calling him "pachueco" or 2) offer some facts that back up your slander/libel.
I lived in the district for all of the past 6 years.
Pacheco was a full-time, attentive, knowlegeable CM with a talented staff that got tons of things done for the community.
Villaraigosa ran for mayor on the taxpayer's money and hired the most abusive brain-dead staffers he could find.
Villaraigosa was the only "crooked" CM in recent history.

5:45 p.m. (you were the first to mention Pacheco, asshole). No one, including Mayor Sam in his opening salvo, mentioned Pacheco before you did.
I guess he's just synonymous with CD14 on this blog (unlike the last CM there, who's name = I lied about neighborhood watches).

80 watches!
Villaraigosa is the king of worthless publicity stunts. You must be wrong.

Jeesh! Both sides in the CD bitch-slapping contest need to lighten up. Seriously, guys! Whoever wins, it won't be the end of the world.
If Pachueco wins, MAV takes a hit and will have more problems over the next few years, but he'll move on.
If Huizy wins, a little faction will be upset and will no doubt try to give him grief, but he will have to be responsive since he'll be running for reelection so soon.
Try not to come off like you're trying to run down the blog with humorlessness!

He doesn't know shit does he?

If SLEAZY Huizy wins, CD14 gets another 2 years of ABSOLUTELY nothing getting done (on top of the 2 years Manure AV spent pretending to be a CM). Huizy CAN'T get anything of consequence done in 16 months, he'll barely have a staff in place (and AV's BRAIN DEAD staff too that long to figure out how to refill the copier paper at the field offices!)
That's 4, count 'em FOUR, big years of absolute stagnation as a result of a BIG, bold, lie told by the current mayor (I will serve as a CM for at least 4 years, I promise, guaranteed, period!).
But AV, he HAD to, right, no one else could bump out Hahn and get the job done (that job being what, implementing Hertzberg's ideas?) WAIT, MAYBE Hertzberg could have implemented his OWN ideas, probably even better, and MAYBE AV could have kept his promise and BEEN a councilmember, and even MORE of the city would have been served.
Who's being served NOW? The legendary Villaraigosa EGO. Period. That's all.
You're next L.A. --count them, FOUR big years of NOTHING getting done, but photo-ops!
AV don't DO shit!

If Chief Faker is "connected" to anything, it SHOULD be a lie detector.
"As Councilmember of the 14th district, (Villaraigosa) has worked closely with community leaders to fight crime and establish dozens of new Neighborhood Watch Associations."
Chief Faker (in a slightly more "honest" moment, May 5, 2005. Must have been beginning to see the handwriting on the wall of that WHOPPER).
WAIT? Only "dozens?" Okay, I'll settle for only revealing the details of "dozens" (minimum 24).
Last chance to become an honest blogger, ever again.

REMEMBER I TOLD YOU GUYS VILLARAIGOSA HAD COMMUNIST IDEOLOGY PUSHERS GIVING OUT PAMPHLETS? LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED HERE? AV COMES FROM THE PEOPLES COLLEGE OF LAW - COMMUNIST EDUCATION.
Tens of thousands of Salvadoran immigrants and their children, friends and neighbors joined in the seventh annual “Salvadoran Day in Los Angeles” celebration Aug. 6-7 at Exposition Park here.
Alongside traditional folk attire were many T-shirts of Latino and North American music groups, as well as of Che Guevara and the left-progressive FMLN movement, which led the revolutionary struggle in El Salvador in the 1980s and ’90s. The FMLN remains the main opposition party in El Salvador today.
Newly inaugurated Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was warmly greeted by the crowd. His election as the city’s first Latino mayor in over a century provided added cause for celebration.
Supporters of the People’s Weekly World/Nuestro Mundo handed out copies of the paper, and while they were doing so this reporter interviewed a few participants about the situations facing Salvadorans today.

Can't you find another whipping boy, Chief Faker?
Pacheco got good things done in CD14, period. No one can contest that, period (easier to call him "crooked" with no proof). Villaraigosa got nothing done in CD14, period. No one BOTHERS to contest that anymore.
Do you have something personal against people in local government actually accomplishing something? Each election you back the person with the smallest list of actual accomplishments, and the longest list of inane platitudes and then repost their manufactured track records here, to help their lies move along.
MAN, are you one superficial dude.
Pacheco left ADV a list of started, funded, many well underway projects in 2003. The memo was 100 PAGES LONG.
After 6 months, ADV re-published the EXACT same list, put his own picture on the front, smiling, and said it was his "progress report" -- "still working on ALL these.
After 12 months, he did it again, saying "we're still working on these" (none completed).
After 18 months, "still working" (none completed), and then announced for mayor and "invented" that SILLY story about 80 neighborhood watches that LAPD refutes daily.
Then when he LEFT office, same list, but now "not my problem anymore."
NEXT?
Now the CM who couldn't get anything done want CD14 to vote for ADV-lite, the guy who accomplished nothing in 2 years as LAUSD board head.
WHEN DOES CD14 GET TO TAKE THE TRAINING WHEELS OFF THE COUNCIL OFFICE?

Sorry, previous poster, Parker doesn't comment on the questions and statements made, he just shoots the messenger. (He'll just say you're part of the "Pacheco blogging team" as his dodge.)
Someone take that police flashlight out of his hands, quick!
