[Pictured: The Next Mayor of Los Angeles with Villaraigosa.]
But Mr. Left-over Loser (Aka: "Under The Party Radar") was able to have Gannett news interview him, and that is the company that owns USA Today. So if you know what happens when you place a fan over a big pile of horse manure...well, that's what we have here.
So, HELLO USA (Today)! His name is Mayor Antonio Villaraiogsa, and Zuma Dogg considers him to be the USA's #1 threat to public safety. There is an F.B.I. probe into Los Angeles City Hall, AS I AM TYPING THIS...
And if I was taking Vegas odds, MY money is on "he's carried away in handcuffs before he is voted out/termed out."
HERE ARE EXCERPTS FROM THE USA TODAY INTERVIEW WITH DOUCHETONIO!:
Live at the convention: L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa
Los Angeles Mayor Douchetonio Loserosa sat down with USA TODAY and Gannett News Service reporters and editors for a "newsmaker" discussion this morning at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
10:41 a.m. MT/12:41 p.m. ET. "One office at a time:" Asked if he's running for another office -- governor of California, Villaraigosa says "I'm running for mayor again."
"That's the only office I'm running for right now," he adds, with a bit of laugh. "One office at a time."
[Zuma Dogg: He knows if he doesn't win re-election, he'll be back to working for the ACLU and will have ZERO chances for Governor because if he can't win L.A., he won't get a penny of backing. And he can't just sit out this next election, for L.A. Mayor, to start running for Governor. So he's stuck running for Mayor and hopes all the deals he cut with the unions is enough to surf through the increasingly choppy under-tow of every day voters.]
10:40 a.m. MT/12:40 p.m. ET. "Historic" turnout numbers: The mayor says he expects record turnout on Election Day, driven in part by young voters' enthusiasm for Barack Obama. "They're going to destroy the old myth that young people don't vote," he says.
[ZD: And Villaraigosa had hope to cash in on some of that youth vote for his own re-election, but Barack knew better. So now the mayor has to get out there and talk up Barack now, to try and smear some of that "Barack Magic Halo" factor on Antonio.]
10:28 a.m. MT/12:28 p.m. ET. Biden's appeal: Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, Barack Obama's choice as a running mate, won't just help the ticket in the East, Villaraigosa says. Democrats, he says, had "the most talented field" ever in the party's presidential primaries -- and the players included "Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Dennis Kucinich."
[ZD: Luckily, he didn't mention himself, cause he has NO ROLE in the party, anymore.]
10:19 a.m. MT/12:19 p.m. ET. Two "historic candidacies:" In his opening remarks, Villaraigosa talks about the Democratic battle between the candidate he supported -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton -- and Sen. Barack Obama.
"While I was passionate about Sen. Clinton and what she has to offer the nation," he says, the party now has "two historic candidacies coming together."
[ZD: I thought Obama won and he picked BIDEN. But the mayor spins on weakness. That's why he has a loser perception in Los Angeles. He calls Hillary's concession speech where she will not be the V.P., "coming together."]
He predicts that when Clinton speaks to the convention tonight, she will deliver an eloquent message of support for Obama.
[ZD: Wow! Did he expect her to curse him out and tell a sour grapes story like her husband, Bill?]
Some of Clinton's supporters, he says, still say "what if." But most, he says, realize that "the world" has changed.
[No, they just decided they didn't like Hillary. It was hers to blow, and thanks to decisions like appointing you campaign co-chair, and her in-tolerable tonality, SHE BLEW IT, and handed it right over to Obama, Mr. Loser Mayor (Oh yeah, we also call him "Loseraigosa."]
