15 Out of 30 days Mayor OUT OF CITY. WHERE'S DAVID Z ON THIS?

...LA Observed.
A pretty contentious exchange this afternoon between "Which Way, L.A.?" host Warren Olney and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa began with the mayor quipping "long time, no interview." Olney then started peppering the mayor with questions about why he was gone from the city for 15 of 30 days last month — "Are you going to be an absentee mayor?" — and why interests in Chicago and New York are funneling money his way. Olney also asked about schools and gangs and why so little of the mayor's trash fee hike went to hire cops. "There's a truth in packaging issue," Olney said, at which point the mayor explained that when you add cops you need to add cars and equipment. The LAPD force is the largest it has ever been and will soon be at 10,000, Villaraigosa said. Villaraigosa tends to chuckle and refer to "you people" when media questioning gets under his skin, and at the end he told Olney, "Haha, I love it." Listen at the link above: it's a lot more entertaining than the softball questions that Ryan Seacrest mouthed at Villaraigosa this morning on KIIS-FM.

Ryan Seacrest was co-host with Clear Channel/CBS Outdoors who paid for the lavish party a ocuple months ago for Rocky Delgadillo in Beverly Hills, just because "he's a jolly good fellow."

See David Z's article about it -- Ryan Seacrest raved about what a great job Rocky's been doing and how he just had to tell us so. So if he's going after Antonio, it's some kind of pro-Rocky thing -- there are actually a bunch of suckups who think Rocky's got a shot at State Attorney GEneral.

No more LA someTimes?
Where else where will I read fluffy press releases from the Mayor?
Illegal alien sob stories about how evil whites are?
100,00 word articles on East Mumblypeg?

Gosh I really rely on their objective reporting and courageous investigations into the corruption-rich LA politicians to find out what's really going on in Los Angeles.

Ooops, looke like Zuma and MS are already doing a better job of that! Well, I still need liners for my bird cage……
