Morning Takes for the Post LAUSD District One Election Day

LA County Board of Supervisor Mark "Home Renovation-Thomas" finds that even he, with the help of the Special Interests, can't buy an upgrade on his puttering, Political Machine.  **Afternoon Update!! New LAUSD School Board Member George McKenna discloses the firing of LA Wave Newspaper "Soulvine Columnist" Betty Pleasant for backing his campaign   

 Maybe Supervisor "Home Renovation-Thomas" should stick to, home garage to man cave conversions, instead of attempting to build a Political Machine?

So much for Alex "Ridley-Johnson-Thomas" getting beyond "Political Rookie Level".

The people have spoken (at least the less than 10% who cared to vote) by repudiating vile personal attacks against a Distinguish Educator.

Retire LAUSD Administrator George McKenna prevail by a 53-47% margin over Supervisor "Home Renovation-Thomas" Staffer Alex "Ridley-Johnson-Thomas" in the expensive race for the vacant District One, Board of Education Seat.

McKenna will have no time to relax as the election for the next full term is mere months away, but we have bloggin time to note the losers behind the failed attempt to build a South LA Political Machine. They include .........

LA County Labor Federation Leader Maria Elena Durazo: Durazo's political capital, already diminished after last's year Mayoral Campaign, takes another hit in the same South LA area where her late husband went to the "Labor Afterlife".

SEIU 99: All objection "Brothers and Sisters" of this local should cease paying into COPE until leadership changes are made.

LA School Report Blog: Link here to view their post-election analysis to ascertain why its placement among the "Losers".

Former Failure Education Mayor Antonio Villar: The "Endorsement of Death" is still potent to campaigns of his ahhhhh blessing.

Former LAUSD School Board President Monica "Gorda Boo Boo" Garcia: With the new School Board Majority solidified via McKenna's election, maybe "Gorda Boo Boo" can ask day job boss LA County Board of Supervisor Gloria "Molina Boo Boo" to appoint her to the LA County Board of Education?

The Political Consultants behind the McKenna Hit Pieces: These scums should never work another political campaign.

The LA Wave Newspaper Group: No promise of ad money from Supervisor "Home Renovation=Thomas" will offset the lost of journalistic integrity by silencing the "Written Missives of Distinction" (WMD) by Betty Pleasant. ** Afternoon Update!! McKenna in his Victory Speech noted that Betty Pleasant was fired by the LA Wave Newspaper ...... "This election wasn't a race for me, but a commitment I started a long time ago. One thing our community needs is unity! " "We lost an opinion columnist of the Wave for giving her opinion in Soulvine, got fired, instead it went viral. When a person that was a friend the year before the next year fights you issuing a political mandate. Spends a million dollars for his candidate. The mandate is stay with me or else. "

LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy: New board majority is cause to ponder long-term job security. 

........ and of course the Biggest Loser would be a diminutive "Power Monger".

.Add another reason to the Recall List.

Your thoughts ...............
