Chris Essel's "Carpetbag" Full of Special Interest Cash

"Burro over-laden with Chris Essel's cash filled Carpetbag"

For the regular readers here at Mayor Sam, we bloggers are together known as the "bloggin burros", a moniker bestowed on us by a "arse" some time back.

But now, one and all "bloggin burros" must take a stand and protest the exploitation of burros by carpetbagging politicians, the gall, the horror, the lack of humanity!!

Judging by the background in the above photo, this poor beast was wandering the hills of Sunland-Tujunga, Lakeview Terrace or following La Tuna Canyon Road in search of its current employer Chris Essel. That is a long way from Sunset and Doheny, but I digress.

And what does one find in the over-laden bag ?? Examine these items,

This first trip of many for Essel's carpetbag-laden burro, brought into CD-2 $119,939 dollars of Special Interest cash to sway CD-2 voters. No word yet on how fellow carpetbagger Paul Krekorian will transport his carpetbag into CD-2, But one can guess his carpetbag will have the "union label" and cash accessories.

Then there is the question of Tamar Galatzan's "husband-baggage" and whether she evens wants to carry that around in certain parts of CD-2, but at least it is well known and native to CD-2.

But lastly, some may hope that horse lover Mary Benson could ride off and intercept the next trip by our exploited burro, and save the beloved beast and Council District 2 from exploitation from out of district, carpet-bagging politicos ??
