This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.
"Everyone's done it like this," Núñez said of previous legislative leaders. "The difference is there are some in politics who want to judge me in a certain manner.
"Because of the fact I am Mexican, they think I have to sleep under a cactus and eat from taco stands."
Hey Stupid Ass, you may get away playing the racial card with the Gringos, Bro, but not with me. You know full well no one expects you to sleep under a cactus and eat at a taco truck, although the latter sounds like a damn fine option to me, but then... I'm not used to $$$$$$ meals at the French Laundry.
Nice way to race bait, tho'.
"The only thing that really results out of this is that groups that don't like Latinos use this as a weapon to inflame anti-Mexican, anti-Latino politics," he said.
Say, Whaaaat?
What the hell are you talking about? You get called out for your spending--money that was entrusted to you by the people of California [ed. my bad, I meant CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS]-- and right away you go crying like a little boy, hiding behind your abuelitas skirts... blaming the White Man for beating you down?
Grow up, Fabian. Be a man and own up to the fact that you blew it. Plain and simple. Pendejo. Sin Vergüenza!
Hector Barajas, communications director of the California Republican Party, called Núñez's racial comments disgraceful and disheartening.
"Questioning someone's expenses, especially when they're in public office, is something the public should do," he said.
Kevin Spillane, a GOP strategist who ran the campaign against Proposition 93, noted that the campaign also accused President Pro Tem Don Perata, who is white, of political corruption.
"Political corruption is colorblind," Spillane said.
Joe Mailander has an excellent piece that touches on something we've been saying for a while but he puts it better - the Mayor is scared to death of a conservative populist movement in the City and it may find it in the anger over gang violence that is motivating the Jamiel's Law campaign.
The Daily News takes to task some Clowncil members who are also hoarding millions of dollars of taxpayer money that should go back to the general fund during the budget crisis. Chief among the hoarders is everyone's favorite "George W. Bush of LA" Zuma's friend Tom LeBong who says he has to hold on to the money so he can "deliver for his district." Is there a bigger clown on the Clowncil than LeBong? You tell me.
Fellow Mirthala Banger Fabian Knucklehead Nunez is holding onto $4 million meant to support Democratic candidates and the unions want it back. A spokesman for the disgraced, termed-out Assembly Speaker said nuts to you, "We don't question how labor runs its operations. It's unfortunate they don't offer the same consideration to the speaker."
UPDATE: LAist.com lists reasons to vote "No on S". (They mentioned all the important reasons, so yes, they included the Zuma Dogg take, y'all! Cause I'm a major factor, y'all!)Plus an internet poll.
SUNDAY UPDATE: GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER'S WIFE, AND FIRST LADY OF CALIFORNIA, AND KENNEDY -- MARIA SHRIVER ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA AND APPEARS AT HIS UCLA RALLY ON SUNDAY!!! (Guess we know how the first family of California feels about Ms. Hillary Clinton.)
VOTER FRAUD UPDATE: Thanks to the people who sent ZD emails letting him know they will be sending people to polls with video cameras to watch for those bus caravans and to make sure poll workers keep their eyes open, instead of squeezing them shut. I hope there is no one reading this that would be upset if people are looking out for voter fraud? AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE ABSENTEE BALLOTS...MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T ALL FILLED OUT IN THE MAYOR'S HANDWRITING!
SUNDAY UPDATE:C-SPAN VIDEO OF SCREAMING NUTCASE RALLY!!!More at C-Span.org (or if the direct link doesn't work for you.) Fast forward clip to 35 minutes into the clip for Mr. Muppet Mayor, and let the clip roll. (Why is this man screaming and shouting???)
CLINTON EAST L.A. RALLY: First of all, she wants to manage the country...she couldn't even manage to have a working microphone on hand. It was cutting in and out throughout the entire event. (Who's organizing these events?)
Keep Antonio off camera. He comes off like a screaming lunatic. He's worse than Hillary. Three years old like him though, because he only speaks in three word sentences, just like they do. (He should be on Sesame Street. He's already a bunch of peoples' Muppet.)
Janice Hahn, what a shame...if you watch it back on C-Span, she was looking at her watch, impatiently, and made a comment to Wendy Greuesome, just as they cut the the cute couple. (HER bad!)
I'm glad they brought out Magic Johnson to endorse Hillary, because I take my presidential cues from basketball players.
Maxine Waters came out to remind you, "I just happen happen to be an African American woman, and I endorse Hillary Clinton." (I guess she mentioned she was black for all the blind people watching.)
Gloria Molina was audibly booed when they first announced her entrance into the auditorium announced her.
And of course, anyone who Nucklehead Nunez is endorsing, you obvious take your cue from that and simply vote for anyone else.
Bill Clinton must have had other plans..maybe he was cutting his deal with Obama, because he wasn't anywhere to be seen.
One of the actors from "West Wing" was in the audience. He worked on a TV set that was about the White House, so his endorsement is important. He was literally placed in the best spot, behind Hillary, like a prop, as though some idiots may think, "Oh wow! She has the endorsement of Jed Bartlett's Chief of Staff who is married to the mom from 'Malcolm in the Middle'. I loved it when Jed Bartlett was President. I'm going to vote for Schillary!"
Nunez said there has been a lot of talk about change, but he could barely talk, himself. He must have been screaming at the top of his lungs about something, cause his voice sounded like ZD's after singing "Hell's Bells" one too many times.
ZD's sings Hell's Bells and speaks on Villaraigosa.
HOW CLINTON COULD EVEN PUT NUCKLEHEAD NUNEZ ON STAGE AFTER HEARING ABOUT HIS WINE, TRAVEL AND OTHER LAVISH EXPENDITURES -- AND THE INVESTIGATIONS??? What an insult. And Nucklehead came off a little hostile and angry about his enthusiasm for change. Like when you know you are losing and are getting desperate, so you start getting "whiny" about it.
Nucklehead Nunez said, "We know what it's like when immigrant families come to this country and sacrifice every inch of their dream for their children to have a better life."
NO DUMMY...they are not sacrificing their dream for a better life for their children; they are living the dream to have a better life for their children. The one's sacrificing every inch of their dream are the people who DID NOT come to America. (DUH?)
I'm glad Gray Davis was on hand to endorse Clinton! He did a great job as Governor. The people really liked him. Didn't he get kicked out of office? ARE YOU CRAZY!?!? WHY WOULD YOU EVEN LET GRAY DAVIS ON THE STAGE AT ALL???
The Mayor from Oakland gave a great civil rights speech (really, he was great), then introduced, "Gloria Molendez." Some of you also know her as Gloria Molina.
Now that I see Gloria speaking in a perfectly sane speaking voice; not shouting, screaming and coming off like a maniac nutcase as Villar, Nunez and Schillary do -- maybe they should hire her as their vocal coach. (Group discount)
DAAAAAAAAMN, even ZD has learned not to scream and shout from the podium. Between Clinton, Villar and Nucklehead, The Clinton campaign should be the party for deaf people.
Molina claims that the most polarizing political figure ever (Hillary) is going to "unite us all". Polarizers tend to divide people, not untie. That's why they are polarizing.
Nucklehead Nunez Runs From Reporters Over Wine & Cheese Expenditure Abuse (What a thing to blow your career over! Vote "No" on Prop 93, so he doesn't get to extend his term.)
Anyway, Hillary just took the stage, and we all know what the sound of her shrill, shrieks do to ZD. Gotta turn her off, like the rest of her former supporters.
CAN SOMEONE FROM THE HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN PLEASE TELL HER TO STOP SHOUTING LIKE A MENTAL PATIENT!!!
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIGURE THIS OUT!!! I AM NOT KIDDING!!! SHE IS INTOLERABLE ON THE MIC. She's screams in monotone. No emotion in her voice. Just a cold, un-emotional tone, with no inflection. Take a listen next time and you will hear it for yourself. A cold, no emotion, no inflection voice. They should record her voice and use it for military interrogation. People would crack more quickly than water boarding. If anyone has the transcript from her speech, I would like to read what she said, cause I sure as hell can't listen to it.
Oh no, she didn't just use Bobby Kennedy in her speech? Did she hear who the family is endorsing? Thanks for reminding me Schillary.
Looking at Clinton and her cast of motley muppets, it's kinda sad that after eight years as first lady, that's all you could muster for support. (Why do you think Times and former supporters are jumping sides? Because THEY KNOW Hillary Clinton.
A basketball player, an actor who PLAYED a role about the White House, a shady-wino who spends public money on expensive wining and dining, Gloria Molina, and a mayor who has lost all support in the community and media alike -- and can only speak in three word sentences. LA Times is endorsing the other candidate. And her biggest assets (Bill Clinton) is now an albatross and they had to keep him off camera. Kinda sad.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL SCHILLARY TO STOP SCREAMING LIKE A MENTAL PATIENT HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM? (Where's Nurse Ratchett when we need her?) WHEN ARE HER CONSULTANTS GOING TO FIGURE THIS OUT? SHE'S STILL DOING IT!!! Inflection Schillary...learn about it!
And yes Schil...until you have actually BEEN President -- people ARE INDEED taking a chance on you, as much as any other candidate. (She keeps trying to mislead people into making it seem as though she already has experience as President???)
UPDATE: NEW VIDEO BASED ON MAYOR LOSING TO HUNT/DOWD AT VENICE BEACH Zuma Dogg - "We Are The Champions, You Are The Chumpians"
CLICK "READ MORE" FOR "ZD's EQUAL TIME"...A comment by a Hillary supporter (if not paid political operative) and along with a reply by ZD's spin-debunker machine.
REMEMBER, IF YOU ARE A PAID POLITICAL OPERATIVE ON A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TRAIL -- AND YOU POST ON A BLOG -- PLEASE REMEMBER TO DISCLOSE.
(Not as if anyone can't tell.)
And in possibly unrelated matters:
You say: "Obama has been openly and shamelessly pandering to the illegals and the way left, that's why. Which is why Hillary should be the better choice."
Um, excuse me...Schillary is rollin' with Antonio. Obama WISHES he could pander to the amount of illegals Antonio brings to the polls, I mean table.
You say, "He said at the debates that any claim that illegals were hurting the general economy, or blacks in terms of getting jobs, was scapegoating."
He may have said it, and she may not have...but first of all, since they are both pandering...looks like Schillary just lost that panders' vote to Barack. (LOL!)
Spinner says, "He just plain lied..." (Ooops, I forgot, you are the official chief economist who has the stats to claim unequivocally that he "lied.")
Funny, you are saying that Barack is going to lose big time, but he is using the strategy YOU, I mean the Clinton campaign is using. (Except he just yanked the rug out from under your strategy. HIS BAD!)
And of course since the Times finally can no longer be seen anywhere near your boss, I mean Villaraigosa -- any more than a travel agent wants to book customers on the Titanic as Kate is reaching for Leo's hand as he sinks away into the abyss -- you better take a shot at them, too.
WOW...you sure are anonymous.
[And in unrelated matters, will someone please tell Shit Romney that his business experience running Banes Capital is not the same business experience it takes to run country from an economic standpoint. (I'm not saying he wouldn't or couldn't do a good job, even though he is the Republican version of Hillary Clinton...but to say your business experience there is apples and oranges as President, y'all. Stop fronting you Lyle Wagoner-looking phony. You're the Tom Lebong of Presidential candidates.]
