They at least understood the basics of government and working with people to solve community problems and issues. (Don't let the "I'm a problem solver" Rudy tripe foll you. When he says "I solve problems, what he means is 'I solve MY problems. The problems that keep ME from getting richer" ...and MORE out of touch with real people.<br /> <br />Rudy Rich is a money-grubbing businessman, cutting corners in every walk of life to get richer and richer. He made MOST of his money off other people's misfortunes - buying they're family homes for pennies, and turning quick profits.<br /><br />That's NOT typically the profile of someone suited for public life.<br /><br />Usually, when you take aptitude tests in high school or college, if you have a "business" mentality, you know how to scrounge around and make moey for yourself -- smart counselors steer you in the exact opposite direction from public service.<br /><br />Rudy should have listened.<br /><br />Watch one episode of "Flip this Bird" (or whatever it's called), and just see how he relates to his own workers.

This week's messages are massive. <br /><br />For some, Rudy Rich's troubles with the police mean more than anything (why else would his handlers be trying to dig up all kinds of retired cops to write limp, vapid testimonial letters for him)? Simple, because he's HURTING in that area. BIG TIME.<br /><br />Why would they be trying to roll out any other small business owner he ever gave an encouraging pat on the back to - also with "he helped me" testimonials. <br /><br />Because he's hurting nearly as BIG TIME from the lack of community leadership support that Huizar has about 80-90 percent of coralled - districtwide.<br /><br />(These are OBVIOUSLY the dirty secret weaknesses that his slime polling told Rudy about HIMSELF).<br /><br />The simple stated fact, that Martinez doesn't speak Spanish, means a great deal to many of the Spanish ONLY-speaking (NOT bilingual) voters in this district. <br /><br />For MANY of the much lower-paying service and civil service jobs that work those areas "bilingual" is a REQUIRED skill. You can't even answer the WANT AD, without that appearing on your resume.<br /><br />Why should the most important LEADERSHIP position on L.A.'s Eastside be any different - even if it can't be listed as a "required" skill... it IS, absolutely!<br /><br />Can you imagine the hell that would break loose if tomorrow, there were no Spanish-speaking cops working out of Hollenbeck. No Spanish-speaking firefighters interacting with people in crisis or disasters. <br /><br />The City would get SUED, for MILLIONS of bucks, for being UNABLE to provide basic services to the people paying for them - and the most basic service of all is CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?<br /><br />What the hell is Hacopian thinking, that he can spin that sh*t with the "language of representation" trumps actual personal communication? That's just insane (but, granted, he doesn't have a choice!) He's been propping up a 100 percent LOSER for months now with inane spinning. <br /><br />That won't even fool the limo liberals in the Northeast.
