Happy Hanukkah!
In honor of the Festival of Lights and the overwhelming contributions Jewish-Americans have made to Los Angeles politics, we're re-running a little song parody we wrote about such following an article in the Jewish Journal back during 2009's LA City Elections.
People of the Ballot
(with apologies to Adam Sandler)
by Mayor Sam
Elections are the alternate to fights,
Instead of years of uprising, we have one crazy night.
So when you feel like the only one on the ballot without a Latin name,
here's a list of people who are Jewish, that jumped in to the game:
David Berger kisses the mezuzah,
So do Jack Weiss, Paul Koretz, and CD5's Adeena
Guess who eats together at our favorite deli Cantor's,
Bornstein from CD3, and Mrs Robin Ritter (Simon).
Eric Garcetti's half Jewish; Harry Potter's half too,
Put them together--what a magically handsome Jew!
You don't need confession to post on Mayor Sam's blog
Cause you can atone your sins with Noel Weiss and Zuma Dogg--both Jewish!
Put on your yarmulke, and have some Manischewitz,
Cause you can vote for the former WeHo Mayor Mr. Paul Koretz.
Nick the Greek -- not a Jew!
And guess who else...the Valley's Wendy Greuel (but her husband is)
We got Ron Galperin and his opponent Robert Schwartz,
Gary Shlossberg's also Jewish--and on the right course!
Some people think that Dennis Zine is,
Well, he's not, but guess who is: The Mayor of Beverly Hills-is.
So many Jews are in the gov biz--
Walter Moore isn't but I heard his consultant is!
Make your connections, its time for elections
I hope no one shady wins, in these lovely, lovely elections.
So get a new direction, and toke up with Craig Rubin,
Just make your selection,
have a happy, happy, happy, happy election.
happy election everyone!

Someone HAS to ask - but probably only MEAT actually knows - was new CD14 candidate Rudy Martinez (now Trujillo-nicknamed a "bar owner") ALSO one of the original...
FIVE SLEAZY BAR OWNERS
(hereafter simply "5SBOs")
trying to recall then-nominal-CD14-Councilmember Tony Villar, back in 2004-05, about the same time he was just starting to run for Mayor? (He had to have been, right?) Just how many actual SBOs can there be in Northeast L.A.??
This was, of course, also about the same time as the original induction of the...
80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHES
(into our hopelessly spun psyches), as part of the "Villar for Mayor" campaign - because, of course, the "CHOICE WAS CLEAR" then, as well.
By the way, it's ALWAYS "clear" when you're a rabid irrational partisan for one side or the other. For the rest of us, it requires a leap of faith to vote for ANY of them in good conscience.
Old Mayor Sam posters may recall, the "5SBOs" were trying to get a bunch of people to donate exactly $99 (to avoid reporting requirements, apparently) and also gather petition signatures to run Tony V. out of office.
The contributions Jews have made to Los Angeles poltics?
You mean, like Jerk Weiss?
You mean, like fake half Jew Garshady?
Or do you mean like Zev?
Their contributions? And what would those be?
Uh, Mister Higby, a "CANTOR" is the singer at a synagogue.
But that's not how you spell the restaurant's name. That's "CANTERS."
I guess you go to Temple Beth Red Spot.
Your references are only mildly anti-Semitic.
You might want to research the way you phrase things before you poke fun at them.
Jackass Weisshole was, and still is, hero worshiped at the Jewish Journal. Zev is a pantload who thinks he's got a chance at running for Mayor. Two of the biggest pieces of sh*t in LA regardless of their religion.
RETIRED LAUSD SAID, RE HIGBY'S SPELLING ERROR
"You must belong to Temple Beth Red Spot"
Quite possibly the wittiest MS reference of all time.
I loved it!

THESE POLITIANS ARE JEW KISSING LIARS. I THINK MOST JEWS IN LA REALIZE THEY ARE BEING USED AS A MEDIA TOOL. IT'S SAD!
The mayor can pretend but Jews know the truth.
Neighborhood councils really help when there is a serious issue going on. The rest of the time, it is useless.
