Today in Los Angeles Politics: Jennerjahn Backs Down on Website Hijack
 |
| Candidate for Congress James Andion |
Jennerjahn had learned of the website address Andion planned to use for his campaign, prior to Andion purchasing the domain and purchased the domain himself, posting his own campaign material there. Jennerjahn said in a statement he was "quite proud" of himself for this strategic "move."
Thursday evening Jennerjahn was contacted by Andion's campaign manager Joe O'Connell to discuss the matter. Rather than returning O'Connell's call Jennerjahn fired off a combative blog post essentially telling Team Andion to take a leap.
The matter set off a firestorm in local Republican political circles with many of the view that if Jennerjahn's move was not illegal or unethical it was at least bad form. Tea Party Activist and State Senate candidate John Stammreich described the move on Jennerjahn's Facebook page as a "childish, high-school prank" further admonishing Jennerjahn "It's a violation of Reagan's 11th Amendment, and he would be pissed if he were alive!" Stammreich further stated he may consider increasing donations to Andion as a result of Jennerjahn's move.
The controversy and bad press may have been too much for Jennerjahn as he since removed his original response to O'Connell from his blog and replaced it with a brief but more conciliatory note in which he offers to discuss returning the URL to Andion.
It may however be too late for Jennerjahn to recover from the matter as the move created the view amongst Republicans that Jennerjahn is an opportunist and generated additional sympathy, awareness and contributions for Andion, a local attorney.

THANKS FOR THIS BRILLIANT UPDATE MAYOR SAM!
PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU, LEAVE THIS POST UP ON TOP OF THE BLOG, UN-DISTURBED, UNTIL END OF DAY ON MONDAY.
THIS IMMATURE, UNDERHANDED, DOPEY LIAR AND CONNIVER DESERVES THE EXPOSURE.
PHIL, I USED TO THINK YOU'RE JUST AN IDIOT, BUT I AM NOW CONVINCED THAT YOU'RE TRULY AND GENUINELY STUPID.
HOW DOES ONE GET TO BE 43, AND SO STUPID. EVEN THE WESTSIDE REPUBLICANS WON'T ENDORSE YOU NOW FOR FUCKING WITH A FELLOW REPUBLICAN!
I never heard of James Andion, but now that I have, I have someone on the Republican ticket to support.
Oh, and Phil, I don't know you either, outside of this episode, but you can be damn sure that I'm going to send them an email describing your vicious, obnoxious and childish antics.
I was one of the handful of people who actually CALLED Mr. Andion the other day to bring the matter to his attention.
He was calm at all times, and appreciative of the information. As a SUCCESSFUL practicing attorney, he showed composure and elegance.
He is my choice for this vote.
With respect to Phil, I sent him an email WARNING him that this will be an albatross around his neck for YEARS and YEARS to come. No matter how noble the projects Phil pursues, this is going to tarnish him even worse than the dopey failed recall.
This comment has been removed by the author.
I am not a Republican, but I wish I could be a fly on the wall at the next meeting of the Westside Republicans that Phil tries to attend.
The derision will be thick, and I hope they throw his obnoxious ass out of there.
HEY PHIL!
NOW THAT YOU FUCKED YOUR CAMPAIGN, YOU SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO TELL US HOW MANY VALID RECALL SIGNATURES YOU HAVE!
HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS DO YOU HAVE?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO FUCK UP NEXT?
YOUR FRIEND,
ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA
phil, how is that "TACTICAL ADVANTAGE" working for you now Mr. Sun Tzu?
I can't speak for Westside republicans, but i am going to write to the republican national cmte and ask that they revoke your membership, and I will include a detailed summary of your absolutely childish antics.
that move would be offensive even against a democrat opponent. but to do it against another republican is vicious and vile.
what shocks me most is that you actually BRAGGED about it on your own damn blog. forunately, mayor sam caught it from the google reader.
i didn't think it was possible for your "career" in politics to be more dead than it already is, but once again you manage to bring things to an ever lower level.
great update mayor sam staff!
I've got an idea for Phil to extricate himself from this mess he created.
He should do what he always does and blame it on that cunt mary cummins. But even she aint responsible for this! It's all your fault phil.
YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT FOR SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT, ONCE A MONTH.
wouldn't it be a riot if this propelled mr. andion to a win over karen bass?
phil could crawl to him and beg for a job. oh, christ, would i love to see that!
fortunately, mr. andion is a good man who wouldn't even take phil's call.
we should also support mr. stammreich for sticking up for mr. andion and standing up to boorish phil.
Higby, can you please announce this year's Ass Clown winner now?
It seems like a no-brainer.
Two years in a row, it's Phil by a mile.
PAGING PHIL JENNERJAHN!
SPEAK UP AND LET US KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU WERE THINKING!
To: PHIL@PHILJENNERJAHN.COM
Subject: check out mayor sam
Message: omg, this is embarrassing.
you should just apologize to everyone and just disappear.
you will never, ever, ever recover from this. even republicans hate you now.
check out the republicans communiques.
you're toast dude. your "career" is as over as the recall.
QUESTION: HAVE YOU EVER DONE ANYTHING SUCCESSFULLY IN YOUR LIFE?
BETWEEN LAWSCHOOL DROP OUT
NO FRIENDS
NO RESPECT IN CITY COUNCIL
NO RESPECT AMONG BLOGGERS
NO RESPECT AMONG REPUBLICANS
LAST PLACE IN THE MAYOR'S RACE
BACKING CHRIS ESSEL
THE FAILED RECALL
AND THE ARROGANT OBNOXIOUS MOVE AGAINST ANDION,
YOU ARE THE LOSERINGEST LOSER OF ALL LOSERDOME.
JUST ONE MORE THING: FUCK YOU, YOU OBNOXIOUS LOSER'S LOSER
Thanks for the update on Phil Jennerjahn, this blog providing a very important and crucial service of 24-7 watch of Phil Jennerjahn.
Higby you are fantastic, and I also hate Phil Jennerjahn !!!!
Phil was doing what he does best, that is provide us with "bloggin entertainment",....at his expense.
In this dog eat dog world all Phil can do is lick his own butt.
Phil, BY DEFINITION, you are backing down.
You threw down the gauntlet, and you didn't have the balls to stand up to the pressure.
As for the "big figures," I betcha NONE of them are currently officeholders. Your name is mud among people who are supposed to be your peers.
HIGBY: DO A POLL! WHAT DID PHIL FUCK UP MORE? THE RECALL OR HIS CHANCES OF GETTING ANY VOTES?
Let's analyze the Republican candidates.
Andion has a campaign manager
Jennerjahn has "noone."
Andion graudated law school
Jennerjahn didn't.
Jennerjahn is an obnoxious snake
Andion is calm and thoughtful
Jennerjahn got fewer votes than anyone for mayor.
Andion is running for something he may very well win.
Jennerjahn thought this would "propel" him to national acclaim.
Andion may get the kudos for Phil's dopey "maneuver."
Phil, I guess you didn't bring your "A" game when you put on your spikes!
I got a question for Phil.
Since you fucked up virtually everything you've ever taken on since coming to the Mayor Sam's blog, are you still puzzled why you get pummeled every time you post a comment?
It's not all from Mary Cummins ya know. I don't know of any one who respects you. Ask around. Higby may give you a pitiful "Phil's a good guy" but that's because he's just a schnook.
hey phil,
if you're "not backing down," how do you describe this?
you said, and I quote, "NOTHING" is what you told Andion's campaign manager could be done to resolve the problem.
but once we started contacting the F.E.C., the D.N.C., and the westside republicans, you folded like a house of cards.
if you didn't back down, why are you giving up the url?
The funniest part of this is that Phil TRIED to make it seem like he was being a good guy by writing "I DON'T WANT TO SEEM UNREASONABLE."
BULLSHIT PHIL!
You decided to come to your idiotic senses when everyone in the Westside Republicans told you what I told you the first day hour you did this: that you're gonna get your ass beaten badly for this, and it'll be hanging around your neck for years to come!
You "don't want to seem unreasoanble?" BULLSHIT! YOUR ASS HOLE ARROGANT LETTER TO THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER JUST 24 HOURS AGO PROVES WHAT YOUR MOTIVATION AND MINDSET WAS.
You're a fucking idiot.
how are you "not backing down" phil?
you said you're not giving up the url, and 24 hours later, you are.
PHIL "I WILL BE AN ASS HOLE UNLESS I'M PRESSURED TO BACK DOWN" JENNERJAHN.
Phil,
Don't ever praise me or even mention my name again. You're an idiot!
Vlad
Jennerjahn,
When it rains, it pours.
G.T.W.
Resign now, Phil!
This guy makes ME look smart!
Damn, this gonna be easier than I thoughts!
I can't believe I let Phil endorse me.
Just for that, I'm not shaving!
I think a better title would be:
"Today in Los Angeles Politics: Jennerjahn MAKES A COMPLETE ASS OF HIMSELF AND PUSSIES OUT"
Phil crumbled at the slightest pressure! What kind of wussy is this clown? I'm voting Andion!
Phil's best strategy would have been to present himself as a "citizen politician" and someone who has principles, and isn't like all those other politicians.
But this shows that he is just like them. Usually the conversion doesn't happen until they get elected, but because Phil is so blinded with a need for publicity he is showing us his real colors right now.
Just another political sleezebag.
For your next act of stupidity, phil, what are you gonna steal, lie about or connive?
This is all so hilarious that i hope you leave it all up for everyone to see on Monday morning.
Let phil feel the brunt of his obnoxious, arrogant deception.
I'd like to talk with the person who knows how Ronald Reagan would think and feel. That's some unique skill. Better than card counting.
This is HUGE NEWS! Bigger than anything else going on at City Hall. Is this considered Los Angeles politics to you?
Why is Phil doing a Soviet style whitewash of his blog? He is removing everything that mentions his
URL theft from Andion! Is this what Phil considers honesty and transparency? How can anyone trust Phil Jennerjahn when he not only steals URLs but then tries to cover it up?
All Phil Jennerjahn had to do was to buy the domain, and the opponent would be in a compromising position.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Phil had to brag about it to the whole fucking world! It's like a bank robber who knocks over a B of A, and then tells the neighbors that he just robbed B of A.
What a FUCKING IDIOT you are Phil! You should have kept your fucking mouth shut and let your opponent deal with it. You could've hidden the registration for a few dollars, and "NOONE" would have known who did it.
But NOOOOOOOOOOO, you are such an arrogant PRICK that you had to tell people what a fucking GENIUS you are. The only problem is that it SHOWED PEOPLE WHAT A FUCKING PRICK YOU ARE! Word got through to the opponent, and other influential people in local Republican circles, and now YOU ARE A FUCKING PARIAH, all because you DIDN'T USE YOUR FUCKING EMPTY NOGGIN.
Next time you do something underhanded, deceptive and sneaky, do yourself a favor; DON'T TELL THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD ABOUT IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH THE RAMIFICATIONS.
Great point, Joe B., and you should make a fresh report of this on Monday morning, and use the screen shots of Phil's bad deeds.
Phil is a fucking idiot, and the show is great from where I'm sitting!
joe b., call Westside Republicans tomorrow to see if they're going to throw him out of the group for this.
Wouldn't that be a fucking riot? OH, the laughs we're going to have every time Phil tries to comment here from now on.
Phil is the unintentional comedic gift that never stops giving.
I don't know a thing about James Andion except he's an idiot for putting Andion2010.com down in the voter registration book when he never even registered the URL. Sounds like James isn't ready to run a congressional district if he can't even run his campaign web site. Buh-bye, Idion. Sounds more like an LA councilman.
Phil,
Leave me the fuck outta this! You're an idiot, and you never learned the most important lesson of war:
"If you do something sneaking SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!"
Jennerjahn now has that dopey four minute video up there showing butt-ugly hirsute patchoulie girl dege couchee showing people how to sign their names on a petition.
I can't stop laughing.
STEALS URLs? You whiners make it sound as though Phil hacked into the site and redirected it. No. Andion is just an inept clown who didn't have the foresight to register the URL before he listed it in the voter pamphlet. And good for PJ for being thorough and checking out all the details that James let slip through the crack. I wish you people could see how amateur you are coming off with your gripes.
Phil Jennerjahn is a perfect example of the drones that nature put on this planet.
True, nature gave Phil Jennerjahn the ability to dress himself and feed himself, although I don't know how he manages to get a paycheck, but nature didn't give Phil much in the way of brains to work with.
Every time this man's name comes up, inevitably, he royally embarrasses himself.
Phil is now blaming all his problems on his blog on the Republicans and mary cummins.
I have a confession phil. I never made a complaint about this to the Federal Elections Commission.
I just said I did, and you took the fucking bait and taunted the Westside Republicans.
But I did suggest to Mr. Andion that HE should do this, which I know he already did.
You are the dumbest person I ever met.
Phil's Meltdown continues.....
The Pressure Is On.
Well, it seems that the higher-ups at the Republican Party were not happy about me snagging my opponents website and using it to promote myself. OK . I understand that.
I don't like them putting pressure on me to give the website up and let James Andion take it.
I have been thinking about this and I just don't like it.
All their talk of my "future career" etc...etc..."if you run for another office"...etc...etc...
To be quite honest, I'm already a bit of a pariah because I expressed my disappointment with the "sudden election" at RPLAC a few months ago. And when I ran for Mayor, they gave me an endorsement, but I didn't get one penny from any of them. And no campaign help, either.
To be quite honest, even if I win this primary, I won't be getting any help from them.
What is my advantage in doing what they want?
I'll have to seriously consider my options here.
Right now, I'm leaning towards rejecting their demands.
Posted by Phil Jennerjahn at 7:29 PM
Even the teabaggers see what a phony Phil is!
Joe B, check it out now. Phil continues to meltdown.
All of the above negative comments are made by Phil, who is home now blogging on his own blog.
Phil, you INTENTIONALLY made MISLEADING STATEMENTS in order to get people to think that Andion supports you.
Do you know HOW we know this? BECAUSE YOU'RE THE IDIOT WHO SAID SO! You quoted Sun Tsu, and admitted your evil intentions.
Go down swinging Phil and continue to alienate people. You will be ridiculed about this for DECADES to come, and I can assure you of one more thing: even if you move home to Wisconsin and try to run for political office there, this is going to follow you. We will be sure of it.
Here is another gem for you to think about. When potential employers look you up online, they're going to find all of this shit you've done. Even though you erased it on your blog, it's all documented here and over the internet.
Try explaining why you're underhanded and conniving to potential employers.
oh good lord....

Smash Evil. Vote Jennerjahn. 6-8-10
Nope. I'm not going to do it.
I'm not doing things the way the higher-ups at the party want me to.
The website stays.
When it comes right down to it, the real question that needs to be answered is: what is best for the voters of the 33rd Congressional District?
Do the voters deserve David Crowley? A nice, polite gentleman who will go timidly into battle and lose just as badly as he lost the same District in 2008? No.
Do the voters deserve James Andion, a distracted attorney who sent a substitute to speak for him at a candidate event and then screwed up his own website? No.
David Crowley and James Andion are not focused enough. They are not tough enough and they are not mean enough to take on an eight-headed monster like Karen Bass. A pure Marxist who spreads a Socialist ideology that threatens the future of this great nation.
The 33rd needs a fighter. Someone who wants to fight.
I'm ready to smash evil.
Vote Jennerjahn on June 8th.

I'm home with a severe cold and have been thoroughly enjoying reading phil's meltdown.
This is manna from heaven, and I thank all of you for entertaining me with this string all day and evening.
Joe, can you some how memorialize this whole thing and write about it on Monday morning so the monday-friday readers get to enjoy it?
Borat. Maybe that's what Phil is doing. Soon we'll find out the whole thing was him shooting a fake documentary for which he will get an Oscar.
hIGBIE, YOUR A BUZZkILL.
Speaking of shooting yourself in the foot. Have you read your blog, lately?
Mayor Sam, Phil already tried that fake documentary thing.
Remember when he told us he was "INVITED" to speak at the SEIU protest at the Mayor's house?
When he got there, he ASKED if he could speak, and they chased him, and Dege as his documentarian, away.
It reminds me of when Zuma Dogg crowed about being followed around by a Nightline crew from ABC, and it turned out to be 100% bullshit!
I just got home and a bit drunk, have been reading the comments and I am pissing in my pants!
I looked at the sheer number of comments and had to check it out, and I cannot stop laughing. Even Zuma dogg is threatening suicide again, and it's still not as funny as this.
Note to Zuma: threatning to kill yourself every few days isn't gboing to bring you money. Stop being a prick. Phil is the new laughing stock of the area.
since it seems like phil is really beginning to crack, i went to his philjennerjahn.com website and it is HYSTERICAL!
he has buttons at the top for Spanish and Russian language people, and when you click on them, NOTHING COMES UP! IT'S JUST A CHARADE!
Same thing for the Press Releases button! There's nothing there! In more ways than one!
Wow, the more I read about Phil Jennerjahn, the creepier it gets. Why have Spanish and Russian buttons when you have no content to go with them? Phil, it's not like you don't have the time to do it, Mr. Sun Tzu.
Dude, you are seriously creepy. And the website says "Paid for by Phil Jennerjahn for US Congress." Um, websites are free, phil. Who in the world conned you into paying for a website? Great fiscal oversite, dude.
Speaking of shooting yourself in the foot. Have you read your blog, lately?
God, you're not kidding. Congrats Mayor Sam, you've successfully turned this blog into the Phil Jennerjahn/Mary Cummins circle jerk. Home of Los Angeles Politics, my ass. You really should add Mary to your list of contributors, since 90% of the comments are from her.
And don't even get my started on the Gatto bullshit. Every Republican in town knows what a sneaky slimeball John Thomas is... I bet you half the Gatto comments are straight from the John Thomas Minions with bush antics straight outta the John Thomas Sneaky Bastard playbook.
MayorSam, Home of the Phil Jennerjahn Circle Jerk and the John Thomas School of Sleazy Politics. Congrats! I'm sure you're all so fucking proud.
Thanks for ruining what used to be my favorite blog with your childish, repub PR machine fuckery and petty bullying of the schoolyard retard (Phil). When you start focusing back on the City, I'll be back. For now, I'm heading over to DListed.com.
Michael K. is a much more mature and articulate blogger.
Mantequilla? No, Parque a las 10 y 44.
Phil is pissing me off because his antics are a major embarrassment to all Republicans. I wish to hear no more of him, and instead concentrate on some really exciting and positive aspects of the revival of the right.
Let's weigh in on encouraging some decent people to run for city council and rout the political hacks that have LA in a stranglehold. You did a great job with Krekorian (even if h';s a Dem), now let's forget losers like Phil, and encourage a new slate of candidates who are smart, honest and capable.
Hey 10:44pm,
You're at home on a Saturday night at 10:44pm and not just commenting on, but complaining about Mayor Sam's blog.
What's wrong in your life that this is your best option for a Saturday night?
Phil:
If you can find 10 cents lying around, use it to buy a clue.
The only place where you get any public attention at all is on this blog, and it's all bad.
Maybe you're not doing something right.
It reminds me of when Zuma Dogg crowed about being followed around by a Nightline crew from ABC, and it turned out to be 100% bullshit!
May 15, 2010 9:15 PM
How was it 100% bullshit if ABC Nightline aired the segment. If it aired, how is that 100% b.s., Miss Mary? Too confused, again.
This is just one of the places where phil lists himself as a professional poker player.
http://www.pokerpages.com/player-profile/phil-jennerjahn.htm
I don't know if he has an addiction, or is simply misguided about putting his profile up there, but it's not a good idea.
It's that drunken blogger from CD13.
