Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Tuesday

Rick Orlov says that the Mayor is concerned about his image as he gears up to run for Governor so he's been showing up on time the last few days. In the meantime the Mayor is once again off on another junket to Washington, D.C. armed with a $6.8 billion wish list for Federal earmarks for Los Angeles. 

Yet another fishwrap shows its lack of understanding of the LA poltical scene with the headline, "After Easy Reelection Win, Mayor Villaraigosa’s Run for ‘Gov’ Likely." Easy? 

I thought he was headed to France? Walter Moore over at CityWatch kvetching about his election loss and his lack of media coverage.  That's been discussed.  Joseph Mailander had some of the best pieces charting how the local fishwraps failed to cover the election.  They didn't.  It sucked.  Move on.

On the heels of the Zuma Dogg video of Monica Garcia, LAist captures an LA Department of Transportation officer driving official parking enforcement city vehicle #01522 while talking on her cell phone.

Speaking of Zuma Dogg has he perhaps parlayed his notoriety into a potenial commercial spokesman career? A limousine company offered Zuma a job as a commercial pithcman directly on the Dogg's blog.  A Zuma Dogg move from politician to commercial pitchman would not be unprecedented. Geraldine Ferraro, Mario Cuomo, Tip O'Neill and others all went on to star in TV commercials following their political careers. Also: Zuma issues a statement on his blogging and political future.

The Lincoln High blog takes us to task for one article, agrees with us on another and gives a spot on analysis of some your favorite Mayor Sam dum dums.

Notes from Los Angeles has a delicious photo of a cornucopia of salsas at Cactus Taqueria in Hollywood.  Had Walter Moore been elected Mayor would this turn into a salad bar with thousand island and ranch dressing?
