Oh No...Not Villaraigosa: Corrupt Politician To Appear On CBS "Face The Nation"

VIDEO: Watch Mayor Villar lose to Mayor Wilder on CBS "Face The Nation"

URGENCY UPDATE: Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa URGENTLY REQUESTS Your Opinions And Feedback (Better Write It Down On Toilet Paper If You Want Him To Use It!) Take the Mayor Antonio Budget Poll. (HACK ALERT: Better not use your own computer.)

FAMILY VALUES PROGRAMMING ALERT: LAUSD Cluster Superintendent and "Clinton Surrogate" Antonio Viagraosa will be speaking in three word phrases Sunday morning on CBS "Face The Nation". (So make sure you are watching something else.) They refer to him as "Clinton Surrogate" on the CBS website.

Surrogate: A deputy acting in the absence of his principal and strictly bound by the authority of the latter. I call it a "puppet".

And in case you can't wait, watch Antonio literally struggle to speak more than one or two words at a time, as he criticizes the U.S. government and calls it "Absolutely criminal". (Insert "pot/kettle" or "glass house/stones" joke here.) Something appears to be wrong with his speech patterns? Did something fry his brain synapses?


Media Junket Junkie Antonio Villarigosa
on Tavis Smiley's PBS Show (2/13/08): "Right now, my strongest support is from African Americans, Latinos and Liberal Democrats...uh, Democrats." (Oops, he let the "L" word slip out. He forgot he wasn't talking to his strategists.) Click here for video.

SUNDAY UPDATE: Did Clinton just pack up the campaign and pull out of Wisconsin cause she knows she's gonna lose there as much as she has been losing everywhere else across the country? After losing Wisconsin, it's gonna start to hurt her in Ohio (no one likes to vote for a loser), and although Clinton may win the Texas primary, Obama will walk away with more caucus delegates...WHY EVEN GO ON WITH THIS ANALYSIS??? It's over Hillary. Is this how it felt when Bill took the nomination? You just lost ten primaries/caucuses in a row. But I'm sure the momentum is just about to swing your way. I remember in math class my teacher used to say, "If you failed all the tests and got bad marks on your homework, you will need an A+ to pass. Well what are the chances that you are gonna pull off an A+ when you just flunked every previous exam. YEAH...momentum is gonna swing back Hillary's way, and she's gonna be the nominee. (Maybe Antonio and Nunez can open up a political consulting firm since they are both about to be out of politics.)

I wonder if they ask the mayor of the gang capital, how is that sanctuary city anyway.

Or ask the mayor about the daily gang murders in Los Angeles,

Or maybe ask the mayor about the infamous LAUSD which has one of the best drop out rate in the country.


best drop rate

Honestly, nothing he said was objectionable in that youtube clip. Well, I mean objectionable if you disagree with his political beliefs, but nothing he said was crazy or "screw the government!" or anything like that.

The mayor articulates thought. In short statements with the style of speech that is truly LA SA a true Angeleno and I can only ask myself why Hillary has not adopted
The Angeleno tonque in her campaign speeches in her visits to LA as she has in the
Other areas of the country with the tutoring of Villaraigosa she will be able to speak
As a true Angeleno and articulate her visions as well as Villaraigosa in a way
Only us true Angelenos can understand.

Gee, the L Word. You forget or never learned, dum-dum, that conservatives are only easy on Obama because they know they can't go after Hillary -- she's almost like McCain on most issue, except the war.

So they want him to defeat her, because he's by far more liberal and easier to defeat, stupid.

Like his pandering to the Mexicans, promising illegals driving licenses when she wouldn't, because she doesn't promise what isn't possible to the general American public.

Because she has that word that's more dreaded than leprosy, "experience."

Which matters except to all those who don't know what it's worth.

Which is a lot of gullible public.

Bottom line, stupid: why do you think the Republicans would rather leave Obama standing, and go up against him? Huh?

The Mayor blames the federal goverment for not reforming our immigration policy. He is correct, our federal government needs to have INS/ICE raids on a daily basis, and also secure our pourous borders.

And city mayors should not declare their cities sanctuary cites and should allow local police to ask the immigration status of low life mexican cholos, especially if your city is the gang capital of the world.

The cholo can't string two sentences together in spite of ALL of the speech and acting coaches we, the taxpayers, are spending for this craziness.

His brain is fried; he has a 1.4 gpa; he has ZERO culture and class; and IT SHOWS!!! He is an absolute embarassment to this city.

And...he can't do anything about that Mexican accent of his! He just sounds like one of the Day Laborers at Home Depot!

He is NOT MY MAYOR...and he never will be! He brought millions of illegals here to trash our city; he used them for political gain; he wants to disassociate himself from them when he's out of the city; he brings that effing Mexican presidente to our city; he's plotting behind closed doors; he cares NOTHING about anyone but himself; and he's riding the coattails of the Mexican third worlders that Calderon wants to expel from Mexico!

Mexico does not want those illiterate peasants; so they are trashing our city with them!

We need to return them to sender ASAP...and send Villar & Co. with them!

What the hell is happening here???

I will tell what is happening here, big business wants the cheapest labor possible to maximize profits. There are many jobs you can not out-source to India, so you have to bring the cheap labor here.

It is always a struggle of the very rich vs. middle class and poor. The middle class in America is constantly shrinking just as the Mayor states in his interview.

The U.S. has lost manufacturing jobs at unprecedented rates in the last 20 years. The U.S. does not even have one major consumer electronics manufacturer here in this country. Just imagine we manufacture NO TVs, VCR players, DVD players, stereos, computer and other kitchen appliances. At one time we were the industrial and manufacturing world leader, but greedy corporations put the American workers under the bus.

The mayor is correct in saying we don't have enough jobs for the middle-class here in Los Angeles. The manufacturing companies are all but gone from Los Angeles and many other major cities.

But the mayor is definitely not helping by pandering to all the illegal immigrants here in Los Angeles, which compete for the few remains jobs. And of course the illegal immigrant without "legal documents" will work for less.

This is a better resolution clip of what I posted yesterday:

http://www.jumpcut.com/view?id=EF4F719EDD1811DC96D7000423CF382E

Laurette Healey is trying to portray herself as the best candidate for the Assembly due to her fiscal and business background. Yet she can't even file a straightforward campaign finance report.

The FPPC doesn't have time to track down and ding candidates for improper filings like this. But the whole idea of these filings is to create transparency. When someone plays a game of chutes and ladders with their report it deserves to be mocked in public.

Please post/email.

The mayor doesn't do a bad job, in fact he's down right articulate and a Dale Carnegie compared to our President who seems to have fallen off the wagon lately.
He should have a bowl of menudo with his beer today.

WAtch more illegals to come to LA since they're having major problems in Tijuana with the drug cartels and corrupt police. On other blogs people are posting how horrible Antonio was at the LAPD funeral on Friday. Almost every line he said had to be read off a card. YOu would think being in front of a national audience he would have practiced a little and spoke from his heart. Watch the clips off the news websites and he does say a couple of words then looks down at his cards.

Why cant we do this? If we dont will our businesses suffer the same fate?

From the LA Times
"A convoy of heavily-armed federal police roll along Avenida Revolucion. Since January 1st this year, more than 2-dozen people have been killed across the city.
.
Visits are down 90% since 2005, when an estimated 4.5 million came to the area, according to the downtown merchants association. On an average day now, only about 150 tourists show up, the association says. Some encounter the latest Tijuana spectacle: convoys full of heavily armed soldiers rumbling down Avenida Revolucion.

Tree-lined promenades feature repaved sidewalks and roadways. Police sweeps have cleared out the drug addicts. Gone too are most of the beggars and hookers. At the balcony bars, club owners have turned down the ear-splitting volume.

Still, they acknowledge, that's not what Tijuana is famous for these days. It's the bloody battles between police and organized crime that make the headlines.

Since Jan. 1, more than 50 people have been killed across the city, some in wild shootouts that terrified bystanders. Last month, police discovered an organized-crime hide-out near downtown that they said included a training center for hit men complete with a soundproofed basement shooting range.

Recently, the upscale restaurant Hacienda Cien AƱos, which once drew tourists, was identified by U.S. authorities as a front for money laundering.

Downtown has been flooded with police and has been largely free of the violence. No bystanders have been killed in the shootouts. A crackdown on corrupt transit cops has resulted in fewer reports of extortion, and merchants immediately report officers who stop tourists without reason, according to police.

Still, the negative image hangs over the city. "In reality, the violence isn't targeting tourists. It's between drug traffickers, criminals and police. But the tourist doesn't know the difference,"

Speaking of drug cartel controlled restaurants...what about certain 'restaurants' and 'clubs' in Maywood??? Why can't we bring the military to these cesspools of corruption???? We probably have more drug cartels here than in Tijuana...in fact I'm sure we do!!!

Come home Antonio. You belong in Los Angeles. You have work to do here. Having these private jets and helicopters drop you off for a few hours of media mania does nothing for the City folk who need you to lead not spend your time on a national campaign. You show up at MTA just so the press can see you. You don't know what is going on unless your staff writes you notes. you have no interest in what your doing--you've become a pretender. You pretend to be the Mayor of los Angeles. You pretend you will be the next chair of MTA. But in reality, you are working on a DC job not on the problems facing your people and it shows!
