Parke's "bloggin response" to Ron Kaye's CD-5 "Election Irregularities Post"

Parke does blogging.......

Ron Kaye's post on the claims of "election irregularities" in CD-5 merit this response from the "Nordic Spin Master" who is also the campaign consultant for Paul Koretz.

By Parke Skelton on May 26, 2009 11:53 AM

Ron;

Every election produces some "irregularities" or at least claims of them. You know that. And people, voters and election officials, make mistakes.

But don't you think it is a tad irresponsible for you to be undermining the validity election on the basis of no independent investigation, statistical analysis or facts? Simply parroting the complaints of the Vahedi camp is not evidence that "a revote may be necessary." Or that we "may never know who won the election." That's an awfully portentous claim.

Yes, polling places were consolidated. It was a low turnout special election -- and like 10:30 a.m. comment, most voters "looked at their sample ballot and found the correct place." And a relatively small handful of voters in one ballot group did not receive the correct ballot guide with their absentee ballot.

All of these claims are being investigated by the Registrar and a report will be issued. Virtually all remaining ballots will be counted today. We will know who won the race. Just wait a few hours. And be willing to accept the verdict of the electorate.

Parke Skelton

Can one smell the smoke of a "looming political firestorm" in CD-5 ??

Is Parke Skelton related to Red Skelton. Two clowns. Tell Park, or Red, or whoever, he NEEDS to be spinning why Wendy Greuel is whoring out her Council seat for Andew Cuomo. I heard he is sitting on some seriously treasonist information. Wendy is going to be controller but she didn't do her "due diligence" on Andy Boy? THERE MUST BE A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT TO COVER UP HERE!

If Wendy is raising money for Andrew Cuomo, don't you think the Mayor of Los Angeles will be, too? Wendy is just the appetizer until Chumptonio offers to deliver pizzas, or the vote, or whatever to Cuomo. HEY MAYOR AND CONTROLLER...GET YOUR HEADS INTO CITY BUSINESS, IF I CAN BE SO OUTRAGEOUS TO MAKE SUCH SUGGESTION.

ANTONIO VILLARAIOGSA CAN SPEND THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO WIN RE-ELECTION...HAS ALL THE CAMERA OPS HE CAN FLASH HIS PHONY SMILE IN FRONT OF...AND IS SO POWERFUL...

But he has to have his THUGS on this blog, too. Villaraigosa's things his operatives can control the this blog, like they control neighborhood councils and everything else in this city:

ONE BAD ASS SON OF A BITCH HAS HAD ENOUGH...YOU ARE JUST NOW GOING TO BE GETTING TO KNOW ME:

So instead of whatever bullspin Villaraigosa has planned for this comment section today...I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRUMP IT:

Here's a start, but can't blow the wad: RON "JERKLE" BERKLE

Just look at the list of who’s who of Burkle’s private equity company Yucaipa. Working for Yucapia, at one time or another, has been:

1) Former President Bill Clinton- The former President has toured the world on behalf of Yucaipa raising money from everyone, including all the major public and private pension funds and Unions. Clinton has his own room at Burkle’s mansion, Green Acres. Rumor has it that the two often live the life of degenerate playboys. As a matter of fact, Yucaipa controls the distribution arm of Playboy and Penthouse (Source Interlink).

2) Ari Swiller - Mayor Villaraigrosa’s power broker. The person that ran the Mayor’s transition team and is pulling the levers behind the curtain. Swiller was a principal at Yucaipa with responsibilities which included raising Yucaipa’s private equity funds, strategic investment planning, public relations, and community affairs.

3) Adrian Gaines – a placement agent for Yucaipa who recently worked for indicted Saul Meyer and Aldus Equity.

4) Horatio Sparks – Deputy Comptroller for Pensions under Billy Thompson, New York City Comptroller.

5) Darius Anderson – Of Goldbridge Capital. A placement agent that is in the middle of the national investigation.

6) Dan Weinstein of Wetherly – If this is a shock; you have not been awake for the last few weeks. Wetherly has been involved in every part of the corruption investigation. Weinstein did placement work for Yucaipa along with Vicki Schiff, Peter Borges, and Dick Ziman. William H. Jackson, longtime Wetherly Captial attorney was appointed CRA Chairman by Villaraigosa in '95 when he was first took office.

Burkle’s team, grows and grows, and uses its power, influence, and access to pay-to-play better than anyone else. Yucaipa has raised money from all the major pensions funds including $1 billion from CalPERS and big money from New Mexico, New York State, and New York City pension funds to name just a few.

Why is Yucaipa and Burkle not being investigated? Is this, again, selective prosecution by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo? Is this like the pass that Cuomo has given to Marvin Rosen (the placement agent that sold the Lincoln Bedroom for Clinton)?

If Dan Weinstein or Vicky Schiff is reading this comment section, or someone who knows Dan or Vicky, or William H. Jackson; tell them they should call Antonio and tell him to keep his people quiet and low key, right now. This blog is no place for inferior-minded, non-strategists.

Tell Dan and Vicky and William I'll be hollering all about Mark Siffin's deposition that took place in Ron Burkle's office, that Dan Weinstein forgot to tell his attorney about. The deposition was about all that Vegas stuff.

KEEP SPINNING CHUMP CHANGE LOSERS. I got HEAT, you got Jack Weiss and Measure B and Hillary Clinton election results. Plus you LOST SEVEN BILLION, YOU DUMB A-HOLES!

The publicity about Ragone's deceptive blogging has saddled the Newsom administration with an integrity issue at a time when the mayor least needs it -- as he reaches out for voter trust at the beginning of his campaign for re-election.

Off the subject, but this is what needs to be done in this City called the City of Angels...

It's time to RECALL VILLARAIGOSA from the Mayor's seat. Come on do we really want him for the next several years?

What the hell has he done? Except keep his filthy hands out of his pocket.

ANGELS lets put on our little wings on and lift our problem away and out of here...

RECALL VILLARAIGOSA!
RECALL VILLARAIGOSA!

Geeze --- I love how no one comments on the actual post...

Koretz has a lead of over 700 votes with 100 left to be counted. The Registar says that voting irregularities (the absentee ballots) went out to less than 100 voters, all of whom were contacted before Election Day.

If ALL 200 of those voters were for Vahedi, Koretz still would have won by over 500 votes...

GET OVER IT!

Dan Weinstein of Wetherly and Kelly Candaele were co-hosts at Jack Weiss's illegal fundraiser.

Weiss's wife, Leslie Kautz, works for/owns Angeles Investment Advisors, who, like Candaele/Weinstein, advises pension funds on investments.

You know that whenever the name Jack Weiss pops up, there's going to be a scandal.

The whole can of worms is coming out. This aint going away.

ZD is starting to believe his own hype.

He has no power and no ability and he is dispensing information and advice to the Mayor and all other elected officials like he is a guru or something.

What a certified loser.

Oh my goodnesss...4:49AM!!!, and no, I am not starting to believe my own hype, but looks like YOU are. Otherwise, how could you think to say it. You had to THINK it yourself, thank you! Yeah, I do feel an added level of truimphantness recently. You should SEE the looks on those losers faces in the horseshoe except for Zine, who always has a smile, because he's on the right side of Team Dogg.

7:15am, thanks for the accolades! I was the only clown in town screaming that Villaraigosa's pension commission appointees had LACER money in risky Wall Street investments and shady CRA and other construction projects. And I was the only clown screaming that the city would be in the EXACT budget crisis it is in, with all of these loss of jobs and services, and it was QUITE an "out on the limb" doomsday prediction that was unprecidented and quite "Art Bell" sounding at the time, except it all came true with 100% specificity and accuracy.

And of course, Jerry Brown issuing subpoenas to the folks ZD has been blogging about on this PENSIONGATE matter.

So yeah, once again, ZD is the lone clown who stand alone. I guess that's why I am an icon and legend in this town? Go figure.
