This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

He is a fucken imbarsement.

Statement from Karen Bass on Decisive Democratic Primary Win for 33rd Congressional District
LOS ANGELES – Tonight California Speaker Emeritus Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) took a pivotal step in her quest to become a member of the U.S. House of Representatives when she landed a decisive primary election victory for the 33rd Congressional District seat.
Bass issued the following statement:
“A little over one hundred days ago I asked the people of the 33rd Congressional District to consider my candidacy to represent them in Washington. Tonight I am honored and humbled by the support I have received in the Primary Election and I look forward to continuing the conversation with voters. I am also grateful beyond words for the hundreds of volunteers who have so generously given of their time and talents to make this campaign a real grassroots effort. I also thank Congresswoman Diane Watson for her strong support as well as the many leaders in Los Angeles, California and Washington, D.C. who endorsed my candidacy. The campaign is not over, and neither are the challenges we face in our communities, our state, and our country. But I know working together we will be successful in November and I know together we can bring about real results that improve the quality of life in our nation and in our neighborhoods and that make the changes we need in a system that badly needs repair.”

And on top of that MT John and Ken crossed over to vote Democratic to vote for Mickey.

People are posting that Janice Hahn is winning because they are looking at results for Los Angeles County.
The County posted mail votes at 8:01 and nothing in the subsequent hundred minutes.

Again the County is pathetic, with no votes other than mail ballots counted in over two hours. It's almost time to stop calling it a "county" and start calling it a "nocounty."

Phil Jennerjahn, the only guy to ever alienate anyone that has ever read his blog or heard his girly voice speak, has maintained his perfect record of coming in last place in every election he has ever run in. Phil Jennerjahn has come in last place in his run for the 33rd Congressional seat.
Congratulations, Phil.
Love,

Just got off the phone with the Karen Bass people, and they said they never heard of Phil Jennerjahn. Nice work, loser! I expect your recall campaign will be just as much a failure.

Anonymous said:
John Thomas whining to Kevin James that the Clerk won't count 5000 late absentees unless it becomes clear that those votes would make a difference in the final tally for Sunder. He and James insist the votes should be counted even if they can't possibly affect the outcome to tell people that their votes count.
I see their point but if Gatto wins by 10,000 points or so it's a waste of money. Thomas down one, up one with Cooley, who will lose to Kamala Harris. But watch the Slimes spin team of Mewton-Greene with David Zahniser hitman on city "news"/ his views as news, desk.

5AM UPDATE:
Phil "Last Place" Jennerjahn is predictably being a sore loser.
Predictably, Phil "Last Place" Jennerjahn said what we all envisioned, NOW saying he's going to focus on the recall.
"I can concentrate my time and efforts on the Recall and other things now."
PHIL, YOU ARE A LIAR, CONNIVER AND A LOSER. YOU HAVE ZERO CREDIBILITY, AND TWO LAST PLACE FINISHES BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAILURE. YOU FAILED TO PLAN FOR YOUR CAMPAIGN. YOU FAILED TO PLAN FOR YOUR RECALL. YOU FAIL TO PLAN FOR LIFE, AND YOU ARE A SORE LOSER.
YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD GUY, AND MAYBE EVEN GOTTEN A JOB WITH ANDION IF YOU DID THE RIGHT THING AND TOLD HIS TEAM ABOUT THE URL THING. OR YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT IT AND GIVEN IT TO HIM. HE MAY VERY WELL HAVE GIVEN YOU A JOB FOR BEING A GOOD GUY, INSTEAD OF A DECEIBVING LIAR.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU MADE A "GREAT MOVE THAT WOULD CATAPAULT YOU TO NATIONAL PROMINENCE?"
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT PHIL?
WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
LOSERVILLE. TWO TIME, LAST PLACE, LOSERVILLE.

Phil Jennerjahn,
Did you see the comment by the karen bass staffer who said that they never even heard of you?
LOL, loser!
Anonymous said:
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE ABOVE COMMENT!
Phil Jennerjahn had a chance to be seen as a good guy by telling ELECTION WINNER James Andion about the url.
Instead, Phil took it, dangled it, and tormented the Andion people by promising to give it back, a lie, and then invoking the name of Sun Tsu.
Phil, if you didn't do that shit, you may even have been given a job IN politics for being a good Republican.
Instead, you got ANOTHER LAST PLACE FINISH and a soiled reputation.
You're a loser's loser, Phil Jennerjahn. Go fuck yourself, and spare us the empty promise that NOW you're going to work on the recall. The recall is over. It failed because you had no plan. I will work to be sure you don't get a dime of donations.
Anonymous said:
Jennerjahn is a sore loser, now attacking the nice gentleman, James Andion.
If only phil knew that this man couldve been the ticket to phil's goal of getting a job in politics.
Instead, stupid PHIL "LAST PLACE" JENNERJAHN just continues to shoot himself in the foot.
Phil, you are a life long loser. A zero. A nobody. Your opinions arent valued. Your projects fail. And you now have a TRACK RECORD of doing worse than EVERYONE else. Including a homeless man.

We must have missed this angle on the latest Jennerjahn last place loss, but the man who came in SECOND place, who beat Phil is parent/homemaker David C. Crowley II.
PHIL, BROTHER! YOU LOST TO A FUCKING "PARENT/HOMEMAKER"!!!!!!
How can such a sophisticate like Phil Jennerjahn lose to a "parent/homemaker"??????
Blame it on higby and cummins.

Phil,
I'm sorry everyone is beating up on you, but I guess you now realize that the posting of STUPID photos of yourself in the cowboy hat and belt buckle made you look like a MORON!!!!!
Dude, don't you realize that you look like a giant baby? A fucking child? An idiot. A dope. A moron?
How's that stupid cowboy hat working for you this morning?
No offense, but you're a loser's loser.

2:46 am that comment makes perfect sense if you know who's who there! Do you really believe that fishwrap still, if it ever did, has anything like objective, fair reporting, and not just spinning FOR and AGAINST their chosen candidates and NOT just in "editorial?" If so I'll sell you some oceanfront property in Kansas.
