HOT Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine (and Beyond) for Hump Day

As First Term 43rd Assembly District Assemblywoman Laura Friedman presides over a Sub-committee investigating Sexual Harassment and Inappropriate Conduct in the State Political Workplace, we repost the INFAMOUS "Break a Rib Video" of her predecessor (and 2018 State Treasurer Candidate) Mike Gatto, hazing colleague Matt Dababneh in 2014.

Will newly-elected 43rd AD Assemblywoman Laura Friedman investigate the "Background" of her predecessor Mike Gatto's "Hazing/Jock Talk Video"?

From the Late Michael Higby on August 13, 2014: The little SFVYD kids can't keep from talking and emailing us. Sounds like some pretty interesting "extra-curricular" activities may have lead to the breaking of ribs. Do the voters know they've got a bunch of frat boys in office?

** Blogger's Notes: On the morning where NBC's Matt Lauer and PBS's Garrison Keillor became the latest purged for Sexual Misconduct in the Workplace, we offer this TIMELY Video Flashback to 2014 when a, NOW 2018 California State Treasurer Candidate (and then Assemblyman) Mike Gatto, engage in "BREAK A RIB JOCK TALK (link here for further background)" on the Floor of the Legislature. If anyone needed a visual example behind the dysfunctional mentality that created the hostile environment for women in Sacramento, they only need to view the facial expression of the former Assemblyman ..........., not fit for State-wide Office in 2018.

Happy Bloggin Thanksgiving ........, with a Serving of Jon Regardie's Annual "#MayoralThanksgiving" Missive

We want to wish a Bloggin Blessed Happy Thanksgiving to ALL ...., and present you with a Serving of Downtown News Editor (and LA's REIGNING Scribe of Wit) Jon Regardie's Annual "#MayoralThanksgiving Missive" ........, featuring alleged, 2020 Presidential Aspirant Mayor Eric "Gar-SOFT-ee".

** Blogger's Note: BUUUUURRRRRRP!! Please pardon the gastrial reminder that the Holiday Feasting Season has begun as we wish EVERYONE a Bloggin Blessed Happy Thanksgiving. Unlike President Donald Trump, we DO NOT kindly pardon turkeys, especially the CREEPY POLITICAL VARIETY, as exampled by the likes of Raul PERVYnegra, Tony the TONTO Mendoza ......., and not forgetting SLEAZY Huizzy. We also find non-pardonable the HYPOCRITICAL ENABLING GOBBLERS, who conveniently find fault in others (mainly political opponents) .........., while remaining SILENT about the repugnant, past misdeeds of their "mentors/ex. bosses" (kinda reminds me of a CURRENT Assembly Special Election Candidate, but I digress). But not to fixate on the negative, we will post this afternoon, a BLOGGIN FLASHBACK, honoring those who commented on a past, VERY Public Episode of Inappropriate Conduct, directed at a Woman in the Political Workplace. Until then, we present a bloggin excerpt from Downtown News Editor and REIGNING Scribe of Wit Jon Regardie's Annual "#MayoralThanksgiving" Missive......., featuring Mayor Eric Gar-SOFT-ee-----Scott Johnson.

From the 2017 Edition of "Happy #MayoralThanksgiving":

The mayor’s office will be releasing a #PreparedStatement on Thanksgiving Day in which Mayor Garcetti states very important and certainly not generic things about Thanksgiving, on the chance that an enterprising professional journalist, citizen journalist or YouTube personality cares to write an article/host a podcast/Tweet/otherwise make a social media statement. This will fall in line with other statements such as “Mayor Eric Garcetti on Veterans Day,” “Mayor Eric Garcetti on Labor Day 2017,” “Mayor Eric Garcetti on Yom Kippur,” “Mayor Eric Garcetti on the Holy Month of Ramadan” and “Mayor Eric Garcetti on the National Day of Prayer.”

Enjoy!!

Its Official!! State Senate President (and US Senate Candidate) Kevin Alexander (de or of) Leon has taken flight from the Sacramento House he shared with embattled State Senator Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia) as a SECOND woman comes forward with allegations of Inappropriate Conduct targeting the EX "O.G. Assemblyman (pictured below)".

Not Again!! Time for a new crash pad.

** Blogger's Notes: Does anyone in Sacramento (with NO political baggage) have a spare room for a State Senate President (and floundering US Senate Candidate)? As the National Media took notice on the growing Sexual Harassment Scandal in Sacramento and opined on how its handling would affect the US Senate Campaign of State Senate President Kevin Alexander (de or of) Leon, the challenger to Senator Dianne Feinstein vacated his embattled colleague's house and announced new Sexual Harassment Reporting Protocols.

State Senator Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia) is now the subject of a SECOND allegation of Inappropriate Conduct directed at a, THEN 19-year-old Intern.

** Blogger's Notes: One of the tell-tail signs when an embattled Elective Official switches into CRISIS MODE, is the dodging of confirmed public appearances and for State Senator Tony Mendoza ........., the CRISIS is now. State Senator Mendoza was a NO SHOW at a City of Downey Veteran's Day Event on Saturday as the Sacramento Bee reported that a SECOND woman had come forward with allegations of Inappropriate Conduct by the former Educator, NOW State Senate Colleague (and Sacramento Housemate) of State Senate President Kevin Alexander (de or of) Leon. The new allegations by a, THEN 19-years-old Intern, mirrored the more recent complaints of a a early-twenties, Post-Graduate Fellow, who was assigned to State Senator Mendoza's Sacramento Office.
