Did Villaraiogsa Admit He Is STILL Planning on Running For Governor In His Comment About His New Girlfriend?

Villaraigosa: Dating Life Won't Hurt Future

SACRAMENTO (AP) ―

[Pictured: He must still be thinking of running. Whenever you are photographed with a "kid prop" you are running for something.]

If this quote is correct, notice Villaraigosa says, "I don't think it's GOING TO have any impact whatsoever."

Responding to a reporter's question during a news conference Tuesday in the state Capitol, Villaraigosa said: "I don't think it's going to have any impact whatsoever." [Tony, you already are making a problem by lying. You KNOW it is going to have SOME impact. When you say, "whatsoever" that is buzzword for, "full of shit spinning politician."]

The Democratic mayor recently was linked to former Miss USA Lu Parker, a KTLA-TV reporter in Los Angeles.

Villaraigosa's latest love interest came to light two years after his wife filed for divorce amid revelations the mayor was having an affair with former Telemundo newscaster Mirthala Salinas. The two have since split.

Villaraigosa has been named as a potential Democratic gubernatorial candidate in 2010. [Yeah, "named" as in the past. But he's still keepin' the dream alive.]
