Hey Kevin Roderick You Kiss-Ass Lap Dog, Why Don't You Try Some Investigative Journalism Instead Of Political Machine Fluff-A-Ganda
Irrelevant Doofus Kevin Roderick (Former reporter/Has been)Some political lap dog named Kevin Roderick posts a bunch of fluffy kiss-ass political machine lapdog stories and feels that two Zuma Dogg stories in LA Weekly means, "More and more of the Weekly's local coverage is written by Stewart's freelancers, such as City Hall goofball Zuma Dogg."
Kevin, who USED TO be a newspaper reporter, is here to tell you that he is still VERY relevant and his stories are VERY important. If you want investigative journalism toward the goal of creating change...don't read Kevin's blog. But if you want a nice, safe environment to read about who is working at what newspaper, or how many trees Antonio is planting, LAObserved is YOUR blog. It's NOT for goofballs. Only doofuses like Kevin. (I bet he'd get along great with Leona Helmsley's lapdog. Try Match.com Kevin!)

SO
UNFAIR/
Anyone on this blog can tell Kevin that Zuma is the hardest-working, hardest-hitting, and absolutely the best-looking newsdogg in El Pueblo.
He advises Zev, his close friend, and the whole Board of Supervisors.
When he doesn't show up at the City Council, the CM's don't know what to do or how to think, especially Alarcon and Zine.
Even the LAUSD Board and Steve Barr look to him for guidance.
He strikes fear in the hearts of the rest because of his ability to uncover shadyness, even in shades.
Eli Broad runs when he sees him.
The people become despondent and cry out for their leader when he doesn't show up for a day.
They beg him to dance.
They beg him to sing.
They beg him to rhyme.
But no, he takes the high road and writes with articulate vigor that makes Kevin just plain envious.
Anyone who criticizes him is afraid or jealous.
You can see how sad Kevin looks, knowing he will never be cool like Zuma Dogg. Knowing he's washed up.
Rock on, Zuma Dogg!
8:41pm,
How come you didn't call me back? Too late now. You're boy's over anyway. Better hide those patterns better bitch, or I'll let all your emails fly!
What former rising political superstar employs someone who has a relative working for another current political superstar?
(Must be pretty uncomfortable when former's cat claws lash out at current.)
Hope you had a hell of a piss, Arnold!
So has anyone else heard about the mayor villar getting the botox injections for the lines in his face? Used to be that you get information on Mayor Sam before you heard it on the street.
9:36pm,
Pathetic move to try an divert attention away from what really concerns you. But how sad to throw MAV under the bus, just for that. Sorry, ZD doesn't do botox stories. I hope you are not too sad. Try another media outlet. Tons of that type of coverage.
Has anyone heard that the mayor is being called a Mexican mechista midget mayor by the disenfranchised residents of Los Angeles? We need a story on this subject and maybe a story about that Mexican councilman from east L.A. who allows dirty streets. These are the kinds of hard hitting investigative stories we want to read.
Well, actually I was just curious if anyone else had heard about the botox. .... or seen the puffy mayor. It is a rumor I heard. .... I've seen a lot worse posts. At least there was no profanity or ALL CAPS. I don't even know who Kevin Roderick is. Sorry to offend you Zuma.
I bet it's true! Cause it fits his political profile... or should I say pattern?
10:43, I bet he got puffy by catching some dreaded disease from Mirthala... or maybe he's sleeping a lot less.
On the other hand, maybe Mirthala caught him doing the same thing to her that he did to his wife - namely, another woman!
did anyone else notice he spelled instead wrong?
hilarious. fucking hilarious.
is this how sad your life is that you get all riled up about some supposed "has been" who calls you a goofball and a joke? if you really believe what you are saying, why would you even give a shit?
I'm a Tird Cousin,
Thrice Removed, from the said
Gentleeman, my Beloved Cousin David,
of the Shannons of Nordern IREland.
I say IREland on purpose now, because everyone has some IRE, don't we, lads? Or else we'd not have come to this God FORSAKEN country, just because we didn't have enough tators.
What kinder nonsense is that?
But now, our BELOVED COUSIN David, thinks he's BLACK IRISH IN A LITERAL SENSE, which is NOT TRUE.
He do'nt have a SPOT of black blood in'em, and so, DAVID, come home to us, your family.
Never mind these Rodericks, I always told yer that clan was NO GOOD 'tal.
Zumma you are too damn sensitive, you call everybody an idiot who calls you a clown for dancing and acting a fool at city council meetings. But what do you expect most people to think of you, it is no different than if you saw a bald headed mexican with baggy pants, you would quickly call him an illegal alien gang-banger.
You and your blogging buddies are the most prejudiced bunch around, give that a little taught before just calling me a "cry baby loser.
Zumma, you couldn't shine Kevin Roderick's shoes as a journalist. He has forgotten more than you ever knew.
Anyone who reads LA Observed knows that; anyone who is not familiar with it ought to be reading it instead of this trash column where a fool "discovers" stuff that everyone has known for years or months, and Roderick has probably already had on his blog for a time.
Nope, you have bit off more than your funky white-wanna-be-black ass can handle.
If I were you, Dog, I'd lay low for a while and hope that Kevin doesn't decide to spend some time telling everyone in the world what an uneducated, smelly fraud you are.
Crawl back under your beach outhouse and drive your van into the underbrush.
Hey, anybody ever think of OJ and Zumma Dog changing places?
Zumma is a white boy who wants to be black, and OJ is a black boy who wants to be white. Why not?
They are both attention whores and will do anything to get someone to notice them.
Now OJ has got his ass into something he is not gonna skate away from; they all know he killed Goldman and his ex, so he's gonna do some hard time if they ever get his ass back in the slammer.
He will make some big dude a great wife, doncha think? Hell, they are all gonna want to say they had a piece of his ass!
He won't be able to fart when he gets out.
Who is the ONE retard who hates Zuma so bad he continually misspells his name and calls him Zumma and then continues to post three stupid posts in a row. Go get some sleep.
The early bloggers get the scoop.
3:34am says, "it is no different than if you saw a bald headed mexican with baggy pants, you would quickly call him an illegal alien gang-banger."
Would I? Is that what I "quckly call people". Have you seen me speak like that. Nice try!
Misspells his name?
You mean Dave Elliott or Zumma Dog?
Zumma Dog is not a name, it is a shady hideout bullshit take off on Snoop Doggy Dogg by a no talent white boy who wants to be Eminem.
And by the way, a fool like Elliott, who cannot write a straight name about anyone, especially Mayor Villaraigosa, has no complaint when someone does it to his sorry ass.
All he can do is hit the delete button and censor, something he cries and whines about every day he gets his precious two minutes at the microphone at LA City Council , Board of Supervisors or LAUSD.
Why are you sticking up for this lifetime loser?
Speaking of bald, anyone seen white boy without his ski cap?
if you did, you'd know just why he wears it all the time... to keep his friends from being blinded by the glare.
As a dear good friend of Zuma Dogg, no double M's, I have to point out he does NOT want to be Eminem, and that is a slander and libel and a double lie, and I'll sue your ass.
Zuma only wants to be Snoop Dogg, why else would he have the double-g? Are you sayin he's dumb or sumthin'?
Anyway, this all has nothin to do wid da dogg -- it's about Jill Stewart bringin' down da entire friggin' L A Weekly.
Couldn't stand da factdat writers had an opinION different fom 'ers, so she drove 'em all way. Da good ones like DZ to LAT, da others ta wherever dey could find a job, dat leftie Hernandez all da way to Mejico to "write a book." He gave deep thanks to his "col\lleagues," not to dat broad Stewart, who made all his other friends go away.
See, she wants to call all kindsa people shady, but don't wanna get da Weekly sued, so she figures, real smartlike, dat if she gets the dogg who ain't got nothin' to sue and ain't got no contract, to go he dirty stuff, she kin write dem dere "articles' and not have to face da consequences, know waddimean?
Buy da po' dogg, he really think he somebody now and kin write, da's wat is sad.
And now, dey mad cuz everybody knows it.
Poster is so rite, do' dat if dis dogg don't stop posting dat nasty sheeeite about kevin, who's a real journalist wid friends, he gonna git everybody around his sorry ass ina whole LOT more truble.
3:34, your last paragraph, "You and your blogging buddies are the most prejudiced bunch around, give that a little taught before just calling me a "cry baby loser."
Where in hell did you learn to spell, Looney Tunes? "...a little taught..." - using that in a Looney Tunes sentence, one might say, "I taught I taw a puddy tat."
What's the matter, do you have some front teeth missing?
4:32am,
No, this about Kevin using my name with the wrong adjective next to it. Some I'll take that from. Not that lapdog douchebag.
Man, the popular wisdom says that when one finds one's self in a hole, one should immediatley stop digging.
You got no sense here, Dog.
That Kevin's blog is about five times as popular as yours, and there are no posts to it, so he has the whole soapbox.
It is LA Observed to which everyone first turns in the morning, then they drop by here to wade through your drivel to get to Mayor Sam's and Mailander's posts.
Only after all that do people stop to glance at your illiteracy exhibitions, just to see how big the fool you can be on any given day.
In short, you are nothing but a sideshow in the big tent of life.
But, when a pesky bug starts biting a large animal, guess what happens?
5:18am,
I guess we'll find out. I didn't mention anything about "popularity" or how the readers use the blogs in relation to each other. O.K. Kevin is more "popular" than Zuma Dogg. (What is this, the high school cafeteria?)
The Roderdick post was a one time answer to his continual pussy-ass use of the word goof-ball, when I don't admire his lapdog political machine protecting fluff-bullshit.
I'm out to create change, not prevent it or cover it up with lapdog stories.
you wanna perpetuate it though, don't you? we'll see.
Hooray for Kevin for saying it the way it is!!!! L.A. Observed is best political blog in town, by far, hands down, no dispute along those lines...
hey good for you, you fixed instead after it was pointed out. i love you zuma dogg
5:18, I do not turn to LA Observed the first thing in the morning. I do not turn to LA Observed at all... I'm not interested in LA Observed.
Call me closed-minded. BFD! I would much rather be called closed-minded than to be vacant-minded such as those who turn to LA Observed for their political fix.
There really isn’t a single good source for Los Angeles news, so I read many blogs and learn a little from each blog. And of course I read the L.A. Times, L.A. Weekly, Daily-Breeze and Daily news.
I read the L.A. observed if I want know who is hosting the Oscars this year or the latest “rating” of David and Victoria Beckham.
This blog is racist and sophomoric with its constant comments about the “Midget Mexican Mayor”. Just as I’m sure the NAACP leaders read the publications by the KKK to know what is on the mind of those racists, I read this blog to know what is on the mind of the haters all things Mexican. And once in a while I actually get some real Los Angeles news. Though lately it appears the quality of the comments has been dropping, maybe too much of the sophomoric and racist content has offended those with a weak stomach.
Memo to Saturday 12:38 PM,
The racist is the one who writes the comments, not the blog. I can speak for all the contributors when I say that there is not any racism here.
Red Spot 14 says .....
The racist is the one who writes the comments, not the blog. I can speak for all the contributors when I say that there is not any racism here.
*************************
hahahahahah...
You should amend you comment to read the "racists are" because there are so many here on this blog. I suggest you go back and read the blog posts and comments. Could it be that “birds of a feather flock together”? If I read the LAist blog I don’t read racist comments, I wonder why, do you?
Oh yeah, I can't wait to see Kevin's reaction to this heap of disrespectful shit! Then again, Kevin's a professional, so he may just ignore it.
Kevin has the best LA blog hands down and everyone knows it.
Kevin has a "WEST LAcentric" view point to life. That being to look down upon the rest of the city. Thus the moniker, "OBSERVING WEST LA LIFE AND HIS TIMES"
"RACISM IS THE LAST REFUGE OF A SCOUNDAL".
Zuma you should be flattered by K-Rod calling you a "goofball."
It's the only acknowledgment that you will ever get that you have at least one ball.
1:37 p.m. -- Right on! LA Observed is the best blog in town, both for information as to substantive news as well as for observations about the L.A. scene. And no ranting and raving, no racist attacks, no personal vendettas...
Zuma:
Some advice: The next time someone writes that you are a goofball, don't be so anxious to write a reply and prove it.
If you believe LAO is free of personal vendettas, you don't know LAO.
LAO basically alerts you to news that is in papers around town, which you may not have read because you can get to them all first thing in the a.m.?
They don't pretend to be "First" with these summaries or links -- they respect their audience.
They also have noted contributors, people respected by other pros and pols alike, as well as the civic- minded general public. Sometimes they also get a hold of internal info that hasn't been published.
Main point: pretty even-handed. No, Kevin isn't a suck-up to the Mayor either: he's had some pretty critical comments on NPR and L A Mag, etc., about MAV.
If he's so washed up, why is he asked to comment on those venues, while ZD can only prove that Jill drove off the pros and got gadflys and attack-doggs she could control?
I doubt Kevin is going to worry about the comments of the "goof-ball". I don't understand why Zuma gets offended when Zuma will resort to rolling around in the floor to get this much needed attention.
12:38, you wouldn't know a racist if one bit you on the backside. I'll bet you think you can just look at someone and call him or her a racist, because they don't agree with your opinion.
I'll bet that if you looked at white-colored ice cream, you would want to call it vanilla, even though it might be loaded with coconut, white chocolate, and no vanilla.
You're probably a liberal who believes in spending other people's money for your own oddball programs, while ensuring that you don't have to spend any of your own.
As a matter of fact, you probably wouldn't know the difference between an American citizen of Mexican origin, and a Mexican National who is here illegally. You don't make the connection that illegal is defined by law as "against the law." Now what part of "illegal" is equal to racist?
Using your argument, I suppose that you would define the law prohibiting driving the wrong way down a one-way street (because it's illegal to do so) as a racist law.
This blog is not racist, it actually stands for enforcing the law. I see that you have an absolute hatred for those who insist that our government enforces the law, and label those who do as racist.
Now go somewhere else and leave us law-and-order types alone!
Nice work, 10:46p...
By the way, www.confusedextremist.com is looking for some quality writers.
10:25pm,
I know, it seems funny that I would lash at out Kevin for calling me a goofball when I do all that funny stuff. But he was using me as a way to strike out at someone else. And I may use theatrics and entertainment...but the last thing I am is a goofball. Ask the mayor's political operatives if the work of ZD is the work of a goofball.
I just won't put up with a neutered, lap dog doofus like Roderick calling me a goofball. Cause like I said, he's a sell out, lap dog.
Sorry Roderdick: When an injured Iraq war veteran call you on your phone and tells you to "keep doing what you're doing"...I'm not taking any shit from a lap dog like you. Capishe!
Goof-ball??? GOOF BALL???? That is what has your panties in a bunch?
How about UNEDUCATED, UNEMPLOYED, HOMELESS, GOOF BALL who likely suffers with mental issues to numerous to mention?
Sam is lower than pawn scum for allowing these personal attacks on this blog. What a long fall it has been.
1650 cries like a baby...
Now go somewhere else and leave us law-and-order types alone!
******************
Shut the fuck up, you are a "cry-baby loser" !!! waahhh waaahhh waaaahhh
12:04PM,
Again...it's the fact that a doofus lapdog called ME a goofball.
Ask my political opponents if they think my activism work is that of a goofball?
Roderdick is using me to attack the Weekly because he is jealous he is out of the loop forever. I just don't see why if Roderdick is such an upstanding, big deal...why he is even mentioning me.
The Ries and Trout Marketing Strategist in me likes when R-dick mentions me (since i'm the underdogg)...but the ZD has to bark back, against strategy.
For most people, the desired goal is to take a sow's ear and try to turn it into a silk purse. In the case of the L.A. Weekly, Jill Stewart has managed to do just the opposite.
With both Rob Greene and David Zahniser having decided to get away from the Weekly and move to The Times, and with Jeff Anderson saying "enough, already" -- and with Daniel Hernandez taking off to Mexico -- ain't much left at the Weekly for anyone who is interested in local affairs. Jill Stewart has managed to undo the good work of her predecessor in assembling a solid team.
Kevin called it the way it is....
Rob Greene left way before Jill Stewart came and David Z. will continue to move on to whoever pays him the most money.
To the Roderick praisers: If he allowed comments, you wouldn't want to know how he would respond to you.
Hey Goof Ball:
You got one thing right!
Kevin should not have got into it with you; my Daddy always told me not to get into a pissing match with a skunk!
Yowee! "Goof Ball"; I love the sound of it; way to go. Kev!
10:18am,
Sorry bro, it only pisses me off if a doofus lapdog adds an uncomplementary adjective to my name. (Especially when they are using ME to attack SOMEONE else.)
You are just an anonymous loser. But if I AM a goofball...then maybe it takes a goofball to create the change I have created with others this past year.
Like commissioners stepping down over conflict of interest...and...well, there's this little story on affordable housing and non-profits that's about to scold some folks...
This guy looks like he needs some sex and is congested.
