Now that the LA Slimes will protect him we depend on you to bring us the info. Antonio we all know is nothing more then a gang banging, low life, cholo, sleazy, corrupt Latino in a suit. BUT he better watch out because his KARMA is coming and hopefully real soon. Too bad we have no leaders on city council or any real leaders in this city who will speak out against this corruption of AV hiring this guy. What happened to the men in this city who use to have BALLS? We have nothing but a bunch of crybaby, whimps, groupies, lapdogs, no talent, no vision idiots running the city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-61073652490347330802007-08-28T06:41:00.000-07:002007-08-28T06:41:00.000-07:00He has a mobile "condo".When he says "condo", thin...He has a mobile "condo".<BR/><BR/>When he says "condo", think "van".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-48192255161812910412007-08-28T03:32:00.000-07:002007-08-28T03:32:00.000-07:00Zumma Dogg said ....WATCH ZUMA DOGG ON KCLS/PBS FO...Zumma Dogg said ....<BR/><BR/>WATCH ZUMA DOGG ON KCLS/PBS FOR LAUSD BOARD MEETING ON TUESDAY MORNING IF I CAN DRAG MY ASS FROM MY SANTA MONICA BEACH CONDO TO DOWNTOWN SKID ROW AREA FOR THE MEETING<BR/><BR/>********************<BR/><BR/>Holy shit Batman did Zumma say "Santa Monica Beach Condo"?<BR/><BR/>The Zumma haters i.e. "cry baby losers" will not be able to say the "homeless loser" any more.<BR/><BR/>Batman the Santa Monica condos have showers don't they?<BR/><BR/>Holy Cow Batman, Zumma might even buy some sweet cologne, I wonder if he knows "Jovan Musk" is cheap and smells sweet.<BR/><BR/>Batman, the batphone is ringing Holy corruption, the Joker Mayor is being paid by Eli Broad again.<BR/><BR/>Batman, I fired up the batmobile lets go to City Hall and save Los Angeles from the Joker Mayor.<BR/><BR/>bam!! boom !!! pow!!! ouch!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-88909236257466641702007-08-27T23:17:00.000-07:002007-08-27T23:17:00.000-07:00You are such a loser; you know nothing about how g...You are such a loser; you know nothing about how government works.<BR/><BR/>Be happy a good man is coming to work in a key position.<BR/><BR/>Would you rather have a fool like yourself, or a crook?<BR/><BR/>Dan is a good man.
