Jewish Journal: "Pro-Sherman mailer labeled 'despicable' may have ties to former Sherman staffer"

Was an Infant Assemblyman Mike Gatto controlled Super PAC responsible for the repugnant and repudiated Pro-Sherman mailer below?.

 Is the Infant Assemblyman capable of repugnant political behavior that has be repudiated by the Los Angeles County Democratic Party?

“The Los Angeles County Democratic Party strongly condemns the negative and divisive mailer by the so-called Californians for Integrity in Government.  This is exactly the reason why we oppose Super PACs and other non-identified independent expenditure committees that feel free to make misleading, nasty, ugly, and libelous statements about candidates without restraints.  

“Senator Barbara Boxer, Rep. Maxine Waters, and Rep. Barney Frank are outstanding public servants who were made to appear in an outrageous and negative light in this mailer.  They are stalwarts and leaders of the Democratic Party.  We are proud of their service and leadership.  Rep. Howard Berman should be proud of the endorsements he has earned, just as Rep. Brad Sherman should be proud of his endorsements.

“From the very beginning, I have said this race was unfortunate for Democrats in Los Angeles because no matter the outcome, we will lose a top-flight Democratic Congress Member. The intensity of the campaign has been no surprise, but this type of unidentified outside interference, playing on the worst types of stereotyping imaginable, is unacceptable to Democrats in Los Angeles, California, and across our country.”

Hmm, lets highlight (by shading) the black, gay, liberal woman politico and link them to Congressman Howard Berman. From the Jewish Journal............

A pro-Brad Sherman mailer sent out in October to Republican voters in the San Fernando Valley’s new 30th Congressional district features a shadowy and ominous-looking image of Rep. Howard Berman, Sherman’s Democratic opponent for Congress, shown alongside Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). The mailer, which the Los Angeles County Democratic Party has called“despicable” and “divisive,” was created by a Super PAC that appears tied to Sherman’s former district director, Democratic Calif. Assemblyman Mike Gatto, the Journal has learned..  

This would not be the first time that the Infant Assemblyman and his Gatto Truther supporters, have use repugnant tactics to attack their critics

Berman Gathers Up Support Over Sherman

Peter Musarlian of Globalist Films covers a recent event for Congressman Howard Berman - who is locked in a weird race as of the result of re-districting and California's new open primary against fellow Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman.

There's an awful lot of Democrats in this video and one of the kings of the blowhards, Zev Yaroslavsky, but it sure seems like if you have to choose between Berman or Sherman, Berman is the way to go.

Friday Free for All: That's SO Jerry Edition

Antonio Villaraigosa came to Sacramento this week to call for the nuking of Proposition 13. Wednesday, the Mayor was dissed by Governor Brown who says he's not interested in making any changes to the holy grail of California politics.  "I will focus my attention on ensuring financial stability and making the state more efficient,"  Brown told the Associated Press.

Last year the City Clowncil voted to boycott doing business with any company based in Arizona in protest of the Grand Canyon state's successful immigration reform law. Since then, the City has failed to avoid to do business with Arizona companies.  The latest opportunity to give an economic whammy to our neighboring state exists in the form of a pending $90 million contract with Arizona based Honeywell, to upgrade computer systems at LA's sewage treatment plants. The computers are needed to replace out of date monitoring systems and help alleviate the odds of an ecological disaster. Councilman Ed Reyes plans to vote no on the contract and a losing bidder is trying to peg a second chance to the boycott being complied with.

Los Angeles Politics Hotsheet for Friday

Martinez, Huizar: Photo by LA Downtown News

The LA Weekly profiles CD 14 candidate Rudy Martinez - who is scaring some of LA's power brokers - and we learn a few interesting things.  Martinez is pissing off diva incumbent Jose Huizar.  Huizar campaign manager - fresh off the Janice Hahn and Measure B victories - Mike Trujillo doesn't know Martinez is Latino.  And apparently Huizar doesn't tip waitresses.  Should be fun!
