Update From the Land of Fruits 'n' Nutz
More than ya wanted to know
Here’s the great nooz: Gavin Newsom is running for Governor. Yep. of Cahleeforhneeiah California, duudeComrade. Fortunately, he’s not alone. Unfortunately, the rest of the roster is similarly dismal.
Attorney General Jerry Brown [yep - ol’ Governor Moonbeam wants to recycle], Lt. Gov. John Garamendi [of the insurance kerfluffle], Treasurer Bill Lockyer, Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell, former state Controller Steve Westly and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa [the MeCHAnic of LA]. So far, however, Rep. Loretta Sanchez of Orange County is the only “name” politician to file exploratory papers.
That little shot at VIllaMeChA by SF columnists Matier & Ross may be due to VillaGrosso’s holding his kick-off fundraiser in SF.
The politician, who used Caesar Chavez’s “Yes, We Can” slogan in his first campaign, fired off the first shot in the 2010 governor’s race. ‘Yes, we can’ raise campaign funds in the City of San Francisco, home of one his chief rivals for the governor’s seat, Mayor Gavin Newsom. True, the fundraiser was for his re-election campaign for LA mayor.
Kicking off his campaign for LA mayor at the Neiman Marcus rotunda in SF?!? Waaay to Machivellian for Villawossface: that’s the hand of Dean of CA Politics, Willie Brown.
Gavin the dumbass novice made a fatal CA mistake in 2003—he didn’t take a phone call from Brown in 2003.
Willie Brown was a co-chair of the June 24th Villaraigosa fundraiser.
Gavin, lie down, you’ve failed to notice you’re dead.
Also behind Villanothead;
Super fundraiser and lobbyist Darius Anderson
Darius Anderson is Kenwood Investments, the $1 billion re-developer of Treasure/Yerba Buena Island [green, of course] and the even more lucrative Hunter’s Point Redevelopment Project just passed by SF voters.
To pay for infrastructure and other development costs, the group will spend nearly $500 million and the city will borrow $700 million through the issuance of bonds backed by property taxes collected from the [Yerba Buena/Treasure] island after development is completed. The city can share in the profits after the developers have realized a 20 percent return on their investment.
What’s the profit margin on eeevil Big Oil—6 or 9%? Oh! Can we chorus “windfall profits?!?”
Also co-chairing Villawhatever’s committee is San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, Obamanaut and possible candidate for Obama’s U.S. Attorney General. [Bemember both Villanaught and Newsom were Hillary supporters...]
Newsome and Harris’ latest gift to the state of Unrest California is the finger-pointing storm among them, local judges and other “officials” over their freeing juvenile, illegal-alien crack dealers.
[Gavin et al] had been flying Honduran juvenile drug dealers to their homeland [at City expense], from which they were free to return, until the federal government demanded that officials halt the practice. The city then sent eight illegal immigrants convicted of dealing crack to a group home for juveniles [at City expense] in San Bernardino County, where all escaped within days.
[Group homes, as the term is generally used, are for foster kids, generally those who blow out of several foster family placements and are deemed “unadoptable” due to “Severe Emotional Disorder” [SED].]
Little Kamalla Harris is also she of the “No-Death-Penalty” Pledge—even in the case of Tony Bologna and his two sons being shot dead in their car by a [likely illegal] gang-banger.
We ain’t gonna need shades to look at this state’s future…
With Gov Schwarzenegger slowly but inexorably drifting Left, the changeover to this bunch will be barely noticeable.
Newsom has put S.F. in a $338 million deficit.
But Sanchez? I guess we’re not in Kansas any more.
Posted by ZZMike on 07/02/08 at 09:55 AMLoretta might have made a viable candidate for governor, but she has accumulated a little more than just carry-on baggage since her Playboy Mansion fundraiser days. There are rumors swirling around Republican circles in The OC that “Playgirl Loretta” has been having a steamy affair with married local doctor or dentist in Fullerton. They’ve always had rumors about Loretta, which never pan out, but they say they have photos to back up the claim this time. At any rate, this could liven up the election season this year!
