Frank Sheftel Drops Out of CD4 Race

The popular owner of The Candy Factory , the Toluca Lake Collective , BFF of Rip Taylor, and former roommate of Chaka Khan, announced tonight on LA Talk Radio that he is withdrawing from the race for CD4 against incumbent Tom LaBonge. Mr. Sheftel cited his potential litigation against the city as his reason for pulling out from the race.

In related news, Stephen Box and Tom LaBonge are the only two contenders for the CD4 council seat that have actually qualified as candidates. The deadline to submit petitions is Dec 8.

Potential lawsuit? Is this something that arose between the time he took out papers and the present? Or is he withdrawing instead because it's so hard to get 500 strangers to sign anything? I suspect it's the latter.

HIGBY,

IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOUR BOY JENNERJAHN IS BUYING TICKETS TO THE ROSE BOWL.

HE DOESN'T HAVE MONEY FOR A CAR.

BUT HE HAS MONEY FOR POKER.

HE HAS MONEY FOR ROSE BOWL TICKETS.

HE HAS MONEY FOR SILLY CAMPAIGNS AND BUSINESS CARDS.


DO YOU WONDER WHERE HE GOT THE MONEY? COULD IT BE FUNDS FROM RECALL CITY HALL? YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS FOOL INSTEAD OF PROTECTING HIM!

Good Morning Joe,

What is your take on all of the Democrats who are with the Republicans in voting down the tax increase that Obama wants?

Are you with the Dems who want the increase, or are you with those who don't want it?

Puzzling. It sure doesn't feel like 2008.

I'm sorry, but I have to say it, Frank Sheftel looks like a modern day Larry of The Three Stooges.

But serioiusly, can you PLEASE change the photo? It's creeping me out. I'm sure Sheftel is an okay guy, but the photo says "axe murderer."

Despite MANY last place finishes, and self-promoting, how much would anyone like to wager that BOTH Sheftel and Jennerjahn are going to keep doing these damaging, self-absorbed "Vanity Campaigns?"

I'm not alone in thinking this. John Phillips (the Al Rantel wannabe) at KABC long ago CORRECTLY predicted that the only thing Phil Jennerjahn does is vanity campaigns to boost his ego, and that he is not a serious candidate.

But embarrassment after embarrassment, people like Phil & Frank will keep running, and keep distracting voters.

The fact that Frank dropped out surprises "NOONE." The only remaining question is when these dopes will do it again.

PS-If anyone thinks Sheftel dropped out because of a potential conflict in suing the city, there is no conflict. Frank is/WAS a candidate who had no chance to win. He could have kept going and not have any conflict.

Truth be told, Frank didn't want to put in the effort to garner 500 signatures. That's exactly why Jennerjahn quit.

Exactly, Walter!

Jennerjahn quit after just two hours and not getting a single vote. Of course, he won't learn his lesson. He will be back.

Sheftel had the same experience. If he's honest, he will probably say he got roughly triple the number of signatures that Phil got.

Yeah, a lawsuit that springs up out of nowhere. Right.

Great. So a candy- and pot-dealer isn't going to run in an election he had zero chance of winning.

So what?

I guarantee you that Frank got as many signatures as Phil Jennerjahn got. Zero. I doubt Frank even tried. He probably just read what Phil wrote, and layed down.

And talk about bluster, Phil says he MIGHT sue the city over the requirement of 500 signatures.

ON WHAT GROUNDS, MR. LAW SCHOOL DROPOUT? THAT'S WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES. AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SUE. REMEMBER? YOU SAID YOU HAVE NO MONEY.

If these boobs couldn't beat LaBonge, they're not going to beat the others.

But watch, they'll line up to back Rudy Martinez to beat Jose because they want to feel like they picked SOMETHING right. Losers on a sideline.

I have to say this, but I really hate Phil Jennerjahn. Everything he does is for self-aggrandizement.

What IDIOT stands in FREEZING COLD WASHINGTON, D.C. wearing a thin TEE SHIRT in order to pose in front of the Capitol?

Only Phil Jennerjahn. A 4 year old boy in a 43 year old body. Even the reporter from the Los Feliz Ledger nailed his personality right.

At least Frank Sheftel is a successful small business man. Jennerjahn is a birthday party clown.

Some Conservative. A Conservative with a red rubber nose and pancake make-up!

What I wouldn't do for a photo of Phil amusing 3 year olds.

What does it matter if Frank could collect 2 or 3 times the number of votes he did last time, or that much more than Phil?

The goal is to win. The truth is that none of these challengers have a plan or the ability to do what's needed to win.

If you're trying to collect signatures on your nominating petition by yourself, you don't have the support of enough people to qualify as even a grassroots candidate.

The only thing a successful business man has to do to get 500 signatures is write the check. Anyone who thinks Sheftel pulled out due to signatures is just blowing hot air. In time when so many folks can't see past their own petty critical nature, it is nice to see someone like Sheftel do whats right for his employees, family and businesses. Its easy to sit at your keyboard and hurl snide wise cracks but try running two successful businesses. When you do that, maybe you will have a leg to stand on, but until then, keep it as it makes you look like an angry short sighted individual.

Wait hold up..Frank Sheftel was never IN the race. I mean he said he was running, but that doesn't mean he actually stood any kind of chance, 'specially with his idiot campaign manager. Didn't Sheftel just run in CD2 and pontificate about how PK was moving into the district? Then he carpetbags into CD4?? What a dumbass!!!
