Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for the Dawn of Political Summer 2012

Saturday morning dawn from Anza-Borrejo State Park

Great Tuesday morning dawn on the start of Political Summer 2012 with a week remaining to Election Day on June 6.  

Infant Assemblyman Mike Gatto bemoaning latest comments directed at him.

** We noted last week the posting of edited videos of 43rd Assembly District Candidate Greg Kirkorian speaking at this year's Armenian Genocide Commemoration Ceremony that painted Kirkorian as some sort of rabid Armenian Nationalist. Now as the email posted below denotes, a certain "Infant Assemblyman" was himself working the assemble masses for political gain.

Little Mikey is goin around cryin and makin hay of Greg's comments. But what about what he was actually doing at this very same event?
Do you know that this shameless sleazeball was actually trolling around asking the Armenian Community leaders -who were assembled to mourn the lives of their lost- for their endorsements? Honest, my friend Nayiri told me. She was there and saw it all. Politicking at a Genocide Commemoration Ceremony? That's a new low, even for you Mikey. 
If anyone has any doubts, go ahead and ask Ara Najarian, who I am told, was there to stand in solidarity with his fellow Genocide commemorators but wound up being cornered, interrupted and harangued by Little Mikey who was bent on hijacking the event, for his own self-serving and selfish purposes, by chewing Ara's ear off about offering him an endorsement, which I am told Ara wisely declined. Where's Peter M. when you need him?
Look folks, don't get it twisted, Greg's words may have been suspect but Gatto's deplorable deeds are undeniable. This sleazeball showed up to a Genocide Event for pure political purposes. But sadly for him, we are not as dumb and blind as he thinks or wishes us to be. 
October's coming Little Mikey. Are you ready for your surprise? I hear you've been a really bad boy so don't expect a new pony or anything and if you think October's bad, wait till November when the election results come in. It's gonna be right back to Mommy's basement for you young man.

Other News

** We are treated to a double scoop of musings on the bubbling and competent Wendy "The Valley Greuel for Mayor" Campaign on this Tuesday. First, Jim Newton gives us the insider perspective on the competent candidate to replace the lacking Mayor Antonio Villar. Downtown News Editor and Scribe of Wit Jon Regardie breaks news by informing the ignorant masses that the bubbling, positive Valley Greuel was a high school cheerleader during her time at Kennedy High School. Thus, the City of Angels could transition from being fronted by a City Terrace Payaso to a Valley Greuel Cheerleader. Divine intervention please! 

** Rick Orlov's takes note of Republican's attempts to garner election attention by highlighting the feuding Democrats in the 30th Congressional District and 39th Assembly District contests. We should note that former Mayor Sam blogger Michael "MEAT" Zimmerman-Trujillo is seeking campaign consulting redemption by hopefully leading CD 2/7 City Councilman Richard AlarCON to victory over Raul Boconegra in the newly drawn 39th AD.

** Academia Semillas del Pueblo Illegal Drop Off/ Pick Up Zone in El Sereno **

Lastly, which controversial Charter School would create their own "drop off/pick up zone" on busy Huntington Drive in El Sereno? A few weeks back, this blogger witness LAPD observing this illegal obstruction and a couple of near traffic accidents. But then it has become apparent that Academia Semillas del Pueblo operates under different standards (with with no objections from elected officials).
