Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Monday
Is Eric Garcetti on Barack Obama's short list for Vice Presidential candidates? Not likely but he joined City Controller Laura Chick at a rally to support the popular Presidential candidate.The LA Downtown News has come out with their "80 in 08" list of people, projects and events that "will power Downtown this year." This blog was honored to be on that list under the category of "five blogs downtowners will visit frequently in 2008."
latinopoliticsblog.com questions the strategic wisdom of the Hillary Clinton campaign having Mayor Villaraigosa tag along in New Hampshire. More importantly - the blog drives home - why isn't the Mayor at home solving problems instead of playing Presidential politics out of state?
So much for "We Report You Decide" at Fox News. Maverick Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul has been bounced from their on-air debates as well as third party candidates. An activist group, rockthedebates.org is pressing to get pledges from the Democratic and Republican candidates to debate Libertarians, Greens and other third party candidates. So far Paul and Mike Huckabee have signed on; Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney are opposed. What are they afraid of?
The one candidate who could take down the incumbent in the 35th Congressional District here in California. Ted Hayes has announced his candidacy for the seat currently held by Maxine Waters.
There's a slew of propositions on the ballot next month that deal with Indian Gaming with some tribes and their money on one side and some on the others and some of them lined up with horse tracks, all in the name of stopping competition. This all points to the fact that Indian Gaming has become a big scam and if we're going to have gambling in California, lets open up casino ownership to anyone.
Like many LA denizens, bloger Los Angelista finds lot of reasons to hate LA - including gangs, traffic and Mayor Villaraigosa - but every reason to love her own neighborhood.
We covered the story of the Disney Company turning NIMBY when someone wanted to build condos near Disneyland. Looks like Disney may have run the developer off with the threat of a ballot measure to shut them down.

Antonio stuck out like a sore thumb in that Hillary Hew Hampshire crowd. Especially with that mucus color green scarf he had on - indoors! - what a moron, was that a gift from Mirthala?
This guy is so full of himself and believes all the lies that Parke invents about him that he actually thinks he has some kind of national appeal. I guess this arrogance is what he has in common with Hillary.
Caruso is going to kick his ass in 2009.
From today's L.A. Times:
"But the mayor seemed mystified when asked what message he could deliver to strangers more than 3,000 miles from his political base.
"I have no idea . . . that's a question to ask the campaign," Villaraigosa said, standing beneath a dripping, iced-over awning before heading off to a noon Clinton rally at a local high school. "I'm here because they've asked me to come..."
WHAT A STUPID ANSWER!!!!!!
I guess Parke didn't accompany Tony on this trip. He later says...
"My mother used to tell me, 'You're not who you say you are -- you're what you do.' And the best way to see what you're going to do is to see what you've done."
He should have just quoted Forest Gump - STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. Or better yet he should have said "My mother used to tell me, 'You're not who you say you are -- you're what Parke Skelton syas you are"
Kerry and Clinton - 0 for 2 and no cabinet position for you!!!!
Oh how the GOP and Faux News have fallen! Button down the hatches, a Landslide is coming in November!
Ted Hayes. Nice. We should be so proud. I see nobody is bashing him like Zuma Dogg. Maybe because Ted Hayes isn't as "with it" as ZD. That's what I think. Zuma covers lots of issues. Ted Hayes has two. Homeless people and his scam with that "I'll run for any seat, David Hernandez".
David Hernandez is a suck up to any Chamber of Commerce. He thinks they'll help him get elected. Poor old guy. It's kind of sad, in a funny way.
It doesn't get any worse than that quote from the Times re Tony Villar not knowing why he was in Iowa!!! As I have always said, Villar can't string two sentences together and has a huge empty cavity in that place where the brain resides.
A reporter in Iowa said Villar looked much more depressed and crestfallen on the stage when Shrillary gave her 'concession' speech. The reported was bemused over the fact that Shrillary felt compelled to give Villar a hug to cheer him up!
Did 'ya see Villar standing there with his hands folded in front of him (His Clintonian pose)...glowering...pouting..sullen......The rest of the crowd was putting on a happy face but Villar just stood there silently watching his political fortunes circle the drain!
Hey, Tony....the only payback you're gonna be getting is from We, the Voters...we're gonna be sending your skinny brown ass back to Mexico where you belong!
Maybe someone should be thinking about sending a bunch of skinny - and fat - white asses back to Europe, where THEY belong!
The tribes seem to have most of the power around here these days, and they were here first, after all. How 'bout it?
6:01 a.m.
Your argument doesn't fly anymore...we're talking Mexico and Mexicans...not Spain and Spanish Conquistadors.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago offered every single Mexican living in the newly acquired territory...one year to decide whether or not they wanted to stay in the US and become US citizens...or return to Mexico and retain their Mexican nationalism. After that year was up...all bets were off. You either stayed or your went back to Mexico. Period. End of story!!!
BTW, what tribe do you belong to??? And how did you get here...in the trunk of a Camaro...coyote express through the desert...or through a sewer tunnel? Or maybe you are an illegal anchor baby like the Mexican anchor baby mayor.
Go back to your own country and march in the streets and demand that your corrupt politicians take care of you! We don't want a bunch of third worlders invading our country...comprende? You don't belong here under any circumstances because you are NEVER going to assimilate or fall into the category of "American"! Your loyalty is to Mexico and that's fine...but PULEEZE...go back to Mexico!!!
From the "LA ANTONIA TIMES",
"The vast majority of us are looking for somebody with experience, somebody with the strength and the leadership that we need during these times," Villaraigosa said. "My mother used to tell me, 'You're not who you say you are -- you're what you do.' And the best way to see what you're going to do is to see what you've done."
"PARKEque" couldn't had said it better.
Does anyone really believe his mother actually said that?
Just read the Times article...the guy is beyond dumb....he's excruciatingly stupid.
Look at that picture in the Times...he's doing the only thing he knows how to do...whether it's marching with a million illegals or riding on Hillary's coattails...standing there waving his arms and smiling at nothing!!
He's sooo uneducated and uncultured! Look what 289,000 votes brought for him!!!! Only in L.A.!!!!!
What's really disturbing is the fact that the Clintons obviously did not do their homework; otherwise they NEVER, NEVER, NEVER would have brought such embarrassment to themselves!
This is the ultimate dumbing down of America!
If you really are what you do then Tony's mom was a bonafide alcoholic - afterall, she did die from liver desease.
And I guess Tony's dad was a bonafide, decent family man. He has been married for nearly 50 yearsand has raised four college graduates - rare for a Latino family.
And if you are what you do - Tony has left four families having had children from four different woman yet not currently having any family - what does that make Tony? No wonder he had to hire Parke to reinvent him.
6:39
Typical Parkeonion response. Bash the mexican and get sympathy. Wasn't it Parke's people who created that anti-chinese self attack piece when they were consulting Michael Eng for Assembly. I guess if no one makes you a victim, victimize yourself.
That will get you some sympathy votes. As for Antonio and his pouting, there's nothing better than sympathy pussy on the campaign trail.
BREAKING NEWS ON DRUDGE: HILLARY EXIT ENGULFING CAMPAIGN!!!
http://www.drudgereport.com
Wow!!! This does sound serious! No confidence!!! I hope she stays in so that we can watch her get her ass kicked!
Garcetti is certainly ambitious enough. If Barack picks him for vp, he should also hire a food taster.
[Eric, I'm just kidding.)
They're all like dogs sniffing the ass in front of them
sordid
8:46
Hey, Trujillo learned a new word - sordid. Did Carville teach you that?
You're going to lose a reader if this blog cannot reign in the racist comments. Those of you who need to vent vile verbage need to post on an Imus blog.
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
Verbage from the third floor.
Lisa exit:
Please note that all that racist stuff only emerges when the mayor, his cronies or his positions are found to be in a comprimising position.
It is a true and tried campaign tactic used to deflect, distort or disgust readers like yourself. Unfortunately, the best at this business is Antonio's own consultant, Parke Skelton.
So when you read such over the top nonsense, it more than likely is an Antonio operative - most likely Michael Trujillo, Hillary's field director in California and a proven liar on this blog.
With all the damage this blog can cause our mayor wouldn't it behoove them to have you leave?
Hillary pulled a "MUSKIE". Did Antonio give her a tissue?
Thanks for the shout out about my blog, Mayor Sam!
And I caught Antonio on MSNBC this morning. Ugh, so sad, so sad.
Is Antonio stil in therapy?
Kuwata came ever so close on using that as a campaign hit but Hahn stopped him.
His demeanor lately does point to a meltdown. And the lonely holidays couldn't have helped.
'Garcetti is certainly ambitious enough. If Barack picks him for vp, he should also hire a food taster."
Barrack cant be that dumb. That would be as bad as Hillary selecting Villa as VP, Secretary of Labor or Ambassador to Mexico.
I'm with Lisa. I want the hate comments gone. The only way they should be tolerated is when they are talking about a job someone has done or needs to do. Talking about Mexicans all the time is not tolerable. Calling people names because you aren't bright enough to argue isn't tolerable. Zuma bashing because he steals you attention is lame.
This could be a really good blog, but it's losing credibility fast. Michael, you should know better. You have a really good thing going here. Why don't you keep it that way?
5:04 p.m.
Quote: "Talking about Mexicans all the time is not tolerable"....
Well, my dear, living with millions of illegal, third world migrants...is not tolerable. Comprende??? This is why we talk about it, bitch about it, and take the initiative to get rid of the problem...comprende???
Illegals are the scourge of this country and we, the People, will not "tolerate" it anymore.
Listening to people like yourself who defend the indefensible..it also not tolerable. Vamoose! Scram!
7:11 - when its over the top and I see it I delete it. Unfortunately - unlike a few readers I don't spend all day on the blog posting, cutting and pasting. So I can't possibly catch everything.
However - as I have stated before - free speech is not pretty and sometimes we have to tolerate this nonsense to be free to speak our minds.
I have personally never approved of it. Making fun of people's ethnicities is not only wrong, its a waste of time. Especially when it comes to the Mayor - he gives us such a wealth of material to criticize him over.
If had to comply with everyone who wants me to ban the use of the term Midget Mayor, or the people who want me to dump Zuma Dogg or Red Spot or not report on Bitter Bernie or whatever, this blog would not be what it is.
Developer backs mayor's phone tax initiative

Issues at Stake in February Election Divide Business Interests
Politics: Telephone tax, Indian gaming measures go to voters.
By HOWARD FINE
LOS ANGELES BUSINESS JOURNAL STAFF
“Business is all over the map in this election,” said Robert Stern, president of the Center for Governmental Studies, a Los Angeles-based public policy and political reform 0rganization. “And even on those measures that do impact business, like the telephone tax, many businesses take stands or make donations to stay on the GOOD SIDE of elected officials.”
