Wacko Jacko Cries to Daily News

You can read more about this at Ron Kaye's site but since Louise Clarke Stone was nice enough to point this out to us I decided to share it here.

Following being outed by Zuma Dogg for being a serial non-meeting attender, Council Member and Hopeful City Attorney Jack "Wacko Jacko" Weiss had to bitch and whine about media coverage he's not getting:

Weiss responds (to DailyNews)

Re "Lack of will" (Our Opinions, Aug. 19):
It's disappointing that the Daily News' coverage of the DNA backlog has been limited to one story and one editorial, because DNA is a constant priority for me. As promised, every week I lead a discussion in the Public Safety Committee on the DNA backlog and cold hits, but like the rape-kit backlog, these hearings haven't gotten the attention they deserve. For six years, I've made DNA a priority. Just in the past year, I got crime lab staff and found funding for outsourcing 400 backlogged rape kits. Last year, I gave the LAPD $100,000 from my office staff budget to test 100 rape kits because this issue is and always will be a high priority for me.

Stone responds (to Weiss)

I am shocked -- I tell you -- shocked. Jack Weiss reads the newspaper and actually responds to something other than his cell phone? Weiss must have actually attended a Council meeting and, as usual, was bored with the public comment portion of the meeting. I guess this is a demonstration of Jack Weiss throwing down the gauntlet in his bid for the position of City Attorney. Well, Mr. Weiss, as usual, I am underwhelmed with you. The City has put up with Rocky for all these years and now you think you should get your chance -- no way. You have been allowed to insult the "public" of the City of Los Angeles for too long already. I vote "no on Weiss for LA City Attorney" and encourage others to do the same.
