Clinton Yell Leader Watch, Day One

Rick Orlov reports in today's Daily News that our Mayor will be "road trippin" with the "Mrs Bill Clinton Campaign". As Orlov states, the Mayor will spend his time NOT our civic fiscal emergency, but inducing the masses to vote for "MRS. BILL CLINTON".

In the interest of public knowledge, events dictate initiating "Clinton Yell Leader Watch". Daily reports from the campaign trial, intermixed with information pertaining to L.A.'s fiscal saga, will be daily features of this watch.
Last Friday, the Clinton Campaign unveiled their economic proposal in the City of Commerce. One can already visualize the oxy morons between Clintonomics and a city gear towards business like Commerce.
Yet at this event the Clinton team fail to coordinate with the city leadership for them to be in attendance. Maybe it was more important for the nation to see the likes of Hillary, Villaraigosa, Huizar, than Commerce Mayor Robert Fierro. So indicative of the Clinton Campaign.
Can anyone make a local comparison?
Robert L. Johnson — a prominent businessman who founded Black Entertainment
Television and is a top fundraiser, or Hillraiser, for the Clinton
campaign — was giving a lengthy introduction of Clinton at a campaign town
hall in Columbia, S.C., when he launched into a defense of the senator and
President Bill Clinton for remarks that have drawn criticism in the black
community. Johnson said the Clintons have been “deeply and emotionally involved
in black issues — when Barack Obama was doin’ something in the neighborhood that I won't say what he was doin,’ but he said it in his book.”

What a jerk we have for mayor. He campaigns while pretending to be a councilman in CD14 and is never in the community. He gets elected Mayor using the race card and in two years hasn't done a damn thing, now he's been gone for weeks campaigning for a dumb woman who doesn't have the guts to kick a cheating husband out, supports Villaraigosa a cheating husband and our city LA is suppose to be in a State of Emergency.

.....Speaking to black and Hispanic New Yorkers this afternoon, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton tried to quell the controversy over race and the Democratic presidential nomination fight by crediting the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King for his “march for freedom and justice” that had benefited both herself and her rival, Senator Barack Obama.
But Mrs. Clinton’s appearance and remarks, before the Local 32BJ union in midtown Manhattan, were not exactly a smash. The audience, made up mostly of security guards, applauded steadily when she entered but did not roar – and there were a few scattered boos. Much of her speech was met with silence.

YOu wonder when AV's karma will catch up with him. Can you imagine how Corina feels knowing after all her and the kids went through it wasn't even for a woman AV took seriously.

Thanks Rick for pointing out the obvious. ""Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign victory in New Hampshire means Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will remain on the road for the next month. Villaraigosa, who campaigned extensively for Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire over the New Year's holiday - aides joked he may have met every single Latino in New Hampshire, all 200 of them - is now back campaigning throughout the Southwest before California's Feb. 5 presidential primary. Villaraigosa already has campaigned extensively in Nevada, and he is expected to return there before that state's caucuses on Saturday. After that, it will be all California, with the mayor expected to crisscross the state drumming up support for Clinton.

SEEMS TO EVERYONE ANTONIO DOESN'T LIKE BEING MAYOR AND DOESN'T LIKE STAYING IN LA..

As usual my stubborn student, the Red Spotted Burro is showing why I need to smack him with my big wood ruler, yet again. I have "spended" many hours teaching him basic grammar and English but the Red Spotted Burro, has still not “learned”, how to use the proper past tense of words.

Please ignore any comments by my grammatically challenged student/Burro, I will return him to my fifth grade English class immediately.

Just back from Berlin... and wow, what a kidney punch John Kerry gave to his 2004 Vice Presidential running mate, John Edwards. Here, Edwards is the spoiler. Will Edwards and Obama run together? Obama is doing what Bill Clinton did in 1992. Did I hear it right... Patrick J. Buchanan is picking Rodham in the end. Eleanor Clift is putting her money on Obama, and most beautiful Monica Crowley didn't surprise in singling Obama as the eventual Democrat Party winner on this weeks "The McLaughlin Group."
Don Quixote, good posts man.

Please do not laugh at the oxymoron of my Red Spotted Burro’s complete ignorance of basic fifth grade grammar. My English classes were "geared" toward Blue Spotted Jack-Asses. Where is my wood ruler?

Does anyone have a spare MAV bobblehead? I want one so badly!

I would totally make him different outfits for all the holidays.

A cheerleader's outfit for when he's stumpin' for Hil;Bunny ears for Easters ("nacho libre" reference. shut up.); a leprechaun outfit for St. Paddy's Day; George Washington wig (with cherry tree and mini ax) or the Abe Lincoln Beard (with stove-pipe hat) for President's Day; a cherub for Valentines.

People, the possibilities are endless.

I swear I would post pictures of them for your viewing enjoyment. C'mon ... help a sistah out.

Cheering with Villaraigosa.

I'm proud to support Hillary for President, and I've been thrilled to see what her campaign has accomplished here in the Silver State, particularly what they have done to reach out to Nevada's Hispanic population. Hillary has visited some of the state's largest neighborhoods, and even hosted a meeting at the home of Jose and Maria Espinoza in Las Vegas. The campaign has employed a corps of wonderful organizers, including many fluent in Spanish, who are reaching out to Hispanic neighborhoods throughout the state in never before seen ways. And many potential caucus goers who have never been involve din politics before have attended events with legendary organizer Dolores Huerta, Congresswoman Hilda Solis, and recently, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa who I was proud to host at the Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce.

What knee jerk dumbo responses here.

What about Garcetti campaigning for Obama, and Zine going on vacation in Italy and to a biker convention in the Rockies, while Council was in Session? LaBonge getting the international travel on council time he didn't get as a student (where his education seems to have consisted of football), and lots of leaders doing same here and across the country.

At least Clinton would have a strong connection to LA, unlike Bush who thinks of this place as some sort of debris you get when you tilt the country and see what slides to the western coast. As do a lot of the "elite" in DC and NYC.

But since you all think MAV does harm wherever he goes, why would you want him here? Logic dictates you'd want him out of town even more.

Wait, Mr. Spot at 5:20: Do you jest, or have you lost a few too many marbles from those smacks on the head with a rule from your fifth grade teacher -- did you really mean you're supporting Hillary and efforts to get out the Latino vote with MAV? Huh?

That may be a good thing -- but Wet Spot's Teacher, turn your attention to the adult Hispanics in this country since as the Daily News told us yesterday (Mexican Gov't Opening 13 Schools to Teach Their Nationals basics they never got in school) almost half of our immigrants have less than a 9th grade education == good idea, but they're offering classes in OUR school buildings, while our kids have to pay now to use them for after school sports.

I kinda wonder how these people can make intelligent decisions as voters when even Americans with a h.s. degree ain't too bright.

I did watch Dr. Strangelove a little while ago - haven't seen Clockwork Orange or read it in years, but I do recall finding it quite...inspiring. "Have some wine!" This latest watch of Dr. Strangelove I found actually sort of uplifting. "Mien Fuhrer - I can walk! I have a plan!" I once thought the whole movie to be a sort of nihilist message about hopelessness and defiance in the face of flawed reality. Now I find I am excited by the idea that someone might have a plan. Even a truly frightening one. This is becoming one small, nano world with Israel and Pakistan having nuclear mallets and the accompanying luck of the roulette table to have neighbors like Iran, Syria, and India. All the world needs now, is someone to yell fire in the theatre.

"What a jerk we have for mayor"

And what an illiterate jerk we have providing commentary on the Mayor. I for one can only laugh at any comments by a jerk (Red Spot, see Red Spot run) who has the writing skills of a 5th grader.

Red Spot; please for the love of God and all educated readers; do NOT post any more comments, until you complete a junior high school English class. You are only embarrassing yourself and demonstrating your complete lack of an education.

See Red Spot run, run Red Spot run, right back to the 5th grade

Since so many here don't like MAV's prescription for the "fiscal emergency" - Prop. S - why are they uptight about him being elsewhere during the crucial part of the campaign for that tax vote? Do they think that him campaigning for it would guarantee its defeat?

The other thing he could do if he stayed in town more is prepare to cut the city budget again when it loses, something most of its opponents think is an idle threat.

Faced with such a stimulating set of options, MAV might as well hit the road.
