Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

"Trick or Treat, Vote for Me, Absentee!"

Its a political Halloween as candidates change into multiple costume personas, to trick the electorate into treating their campaigns seriously, leading up to Election Day.

As we announce the bloggin two-week warning to Election Day, the campaigning has taken on a political Halloween aura, as the various candidates jump in and out of various costume of political personas, seeking the treat of your vote.

Current City Controller and Mayoral Candidate Wendy “The Villar Greuel” trotted out her “silence the  messenger persona” last evening at the Mayoral Debate at Cal State LA, as she sought to portrait herself as the crusading messenger against “WASTE, FRAUD and ABUSE” , who an unrepentant City Council would love to silence. Next!

Former Bet Tzedek Executive Director and Assemblyman Mike Feuer would love you to believe that his Sacramento vote-changing ways, combine with his administrating “tens of lawyers (times two) at Bet Tzedek, along with hundreds of enabling endorsements and NO trail court experience, makes him an worthy candidate for City Attorney? Next!

Termed out CD 3 City Councilman Dennis Zine, attempts to one up his “Denise Zine Drag Persona” by attempting to be come the City Controller “Manly Valley Greuel” incarnation, is not getting rave reviews (or endorsements). Next!

The termed-out Assembly duo of Felipe Fuentes  and “Two-face Bob” Blumenfeld, would love the voters of CD 7 and CD 3 respectively, believe that their city council personas are authentic via the union label. Next!

A certain “Westside White Guy” purveyor of puffy “Pop Star Missives” has the gall to call Ron Kaye a “broken record” for espousing support of Kevin James and Jan Perry? This from the same supposed “Westside Pulitzer”? Next! 

Rumors are that CD 9 City Council Candidate and State Senator Curren Price, has been seen as the persona of a “yellow, smiling, non-union dot”? More on that Later.

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Wednesday

Will City Clowncil Central Committee Strongman Herb "Mini Amin" Wesson face leadership challenge from  an Assemblyman, turned CD 7 City Council Candidate Felipe Fuentes? 

 The reigning despot of the City Clowncil Central Committee Herb "Mini Amin" Wesson.

State Senator Alex Padilla (left) and Assemblyman Felipe "Mini Padilla" Fuentes (right).

What should come first? The candidacy for city council or the campaign for the presidency of the City Clowncil Central Committee?

As the Los Angeles County Labor Federation announces its endorsements for termed-out Sacramento Labor  Lefties in search of a higher political living wage, one of those, Assemblyman and current CD 7 city council candidate Felipe Fuentes, apparently wants the same title (and power), that his political mentor State Senator Alex Padilla, had before moving on to Sacramento.

One political observer opine that City Clowncil Central Committee Strongman Herb “Mini Amin” Wesson, has been weaken in recent months, via his handling of the now litigious 2012 Redistricting fiasco and his treatment of colleagues, along with former city officials.

If Fuentes wins the election to replace indicted CD 2/7 City Councilman Richard AlarCON, may we dare say a looming battle for the top position, may pit one “Mini” against another?

** Assemblyman Gil “One Bill” Cedillo saw his chances of replacing CD 1 City Councilman Ed Reyes, greatly improve when he picked up the County Labor Federation endorsement. The fact that Councilman Reyes endorsed now Assemblyman Jimmy “PAC laundryman” Gomez, may not pay off in his quest to see his Chief of Staff Jose Gardea , replace him on the horseshoe.

** We are searching for the video, but according to a good source, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck stated that if LAPD officers were at the Sandy Hook School, the mass killings would of never taken place

** KABC AM Talk Show Host and Daily News Columnist Doug McIntyre, keyboards on the lousy example of government that is the Children’s Museum fiscal fiasco.
