It's the Thread Villaraigosa, Huizar, Meuelo, Taylor Yard, The Clintons, DWP & CalPERS DOES NOT WANT ZUMA DOGG TO POST....too late!

ALRIGHT KIDDIES! As you can see my blogging has taken a more personal tone, away from the type of bamboozle-busting you are used to. But I wanted some "clickety-clicks" on my blog, so I figured I'd throw out the hardest hitting blog thread I could copy and paste from my email inbox. Slightly reworded in Zumalease to protect the identity of the sources. DON'T SEND ME STUFF TO START POSTING ALL OF THE SUDDEN. THIS IS AN EXCEPTION BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE PUNISHING SOME FOOLS BECAUSE I'M HUNGRY AND EXTRA CRANKY. THIS ISN'T ACTIVISM. THIS IS PAYBACK. AND AIN'T IT A BITCH, BITCH? Now buy me some food, or I'll make the next one worse! I not only have an avalanche of nine years worth of beloved shout outs from the masses running through my head, making me insane...I also have all this stuff floating around, and I have to get it off my mind. So this isn't even activism, just therapy. Sorry Weezy. Not sorry, Villar.

NOT FOR PUBLICATION [WELP, looks like Zuma Dogg said, "F*CK THAT" and published it. I didn't sign any non-disclosure and Zuma Dogg is a civic treasure and that makes him open to the public, kind of like the Brown Act rules.]

I always liked Jackie Gleason on Saturday evenings, so as Jackie would have said, "And awaaaaay we gooooooooooo!"

Bruce Kendall and Guy Mehula leaving had much to do with the "Battle Inside LAUSD" between Team Villaraigosa/Huizar -- and those actually committed to education and student achievement. Since Villar took control of the board, politicians and staffers have been sucking up to those in control (Team Villar LAUSD School Board) and Villaraigosa's friends and cronies are finally about to shower themselves with all those LAUSD billions the way Zuma Dogg was alerting the masses to, first on Mr. KABC's show, when he was still on the air. Looks like it's harvest time.)

HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT TO FACILITATE AND MAXIMIZE THE CROP OF LAUSD CASH BEING HARVESTED: Look for re-negotiating of expensive district agreements which will result in a $15 million dollar (plus) gift to a close homie of Weezy.While at LAUSD, many believed Huizar was a "favor hander outer" for things like confidential information and influencing LAUSD boardmembers and staff on actions that benefitted Weezy and Tony's cronies.

THE MAYOR MUST HAVE WATCHED THAT ROBERT ALLEN INFOMERCIAL ON "MULTIPLE STREAMS OF REVENUE": Now that the Meurelo-Maddux revenue stream has gone dry with recent bankruptcy, the mayor needs new streams of revenue and influence. So off to the public money off LAUSD and DWP. The mayor already has control of the school board, and it's not a random coincidence that the mayor's ally, David Freeman, is back in control of DWP with Nahai's departure.

Keep up the good work, your friends from (Over Here).

[ZD: What does Barbara Striesand and Bill Clinton have to do with this?]

Zuma Dogg Fun Game: "Connect the Dots"

Weezy, Weezy, Weezy...I hope you have learned from your shadiness of the past and aren't pulling shit like this anymore:

I sure hope that when Jose Huizar was LAUSD school board member, there wasn't $15 million dollars of "grease" sent through the school board to make sure the decision makers hands were greasy and the purchase of Taylor Yards would slip through their fingers, allowing Mereulo to get the deal while the LAUSD board secretary ran interference. That would have sucked!

NAMES AND FACTORS:

1. Antonio Villaraiogsa gains control of LAUSD school board (including raising $2 million in private money for Tamar Galatzan to do it).

2. NAMES: Delijani/Huizar/Viagarossa/Namvar

3. Special Board Actions

4. Kendall departs

5. Mehula Departs

6. Cortenes Reduces Inspector General staff

7. Mayor's pal put in charge of DWP

9. DWP's Nahai gets Clinton Post

10. Huizar gets a pass from the Department of Justice

11. MORE NAMES: Polanco/Valedes/CALPERS

Obama thought he neutered Hillary by making her Sec of State, but as Obama tanks with G-force velocity, Team Hillary waits in the wings, waiting for an encore curtain call.

I can't even imagine, but it says here that Villaragiosa would STILL be part of any Team Hillary revival effort (I guess partners in crime stick together through thick and thin).

And I guess that's because Bill and Hillary (CLINTON) have enough juice to keep Antonio from being indicted so they can use him as their "Latino Mayor of L.A." mascot, again, since that still carries a lot of weight with the people they need it to carry weight with. [OH NO, WE HAVE TO PREVENT HIM FROM NOT BEING INDICTED!!! THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO EXPOSE THIS!]

Villar must LOVE Clinton and feel he owes him almost as much as the City will owe Zuma Dogg since Nuch didn't want to settle with the Venice Performers. Douchetonio owes "La Familia Clinton" muchos gracias for the ability to cash in during these tough times.

And I it looks like, no matter how unpopular he is politically with bloggers, that doesn't stop the gravy train, becasue he still gets what he wants, just as much if he was still as popular as he used to fantasize that he was: He just got Nahai to resign from DWP leaving the keys to the vault for Antonio and his pal Freeman. I guess he owes Clinton for moving Nahai out of the way for him.

Fire up the sports cars Antonio, you've got the keys to DWP, LAUSD, Calpers and LACERS!

But what do I know...I'm just a homeless guy starving to death with heart palpitations from no food for too long; and I figured I better get this out there for others to see in case I lose my internet connection and can't blog for a while. Looks pretty interesting. Don't think Antonio will be resigning the way some naive and juvenile commentators think. It will take a little more than a blog post request.

Did "Cuomo Witness Controversy" Post Trigger Attention of Top "International Crisis Expert" In Hopes of Preventing Illegal Military Weapons Transfer?

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 08, 2014 BLOGGER'S UPDATE: Though intro passage may be compelling L.A. political soap opera reading (and DOES provide some background), out of respect for your time; scroll down to THIS PART, " New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo Pay-To-Play Indictment IN JEOPARDY Over Key Witness Controversy" -- if you just wanna get right to it: 
###

SOME BIG LEVEL PENSIONGATE INFO CONTAINED IN THIS POST: (Not for you typical local L.A. activist.) 

Taking things from the top, my name is Zuma Dogg from Los Angeles, CA. Three years ago, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, but more specifically, the people he surrounds himself with, took away my income and now my "life" by enforcing an illegal, unconstitutional law, that was eventually overturned by a Federal judge, proving we were right all along, and Zuma Dogg never should have even made his first trip Downtown, ever, to discuss the matter during the public city council meeting, which is on the record and broadcast on Time Warner cable, twelve times a week.

Recently, Zuma Dogg has become increasingly miffed by Villaraigoas's political machine, with newly added emphasis on Wendy Greuel, which has "Awakened the Zuma Within" on a newly discovered VillarGreuel political ally...NO, not the IBEW, silly...ANDREW CUOMO all the way over there in New York.

So if you want to take down the Villaraigosa/Greuel political machine (now that Jack Weiss is no longer riding in the getaway car with his two former allies and endorsers), you gotta expose Andrew Cuomo, too. And part of my goal, is to make Andrew and even Bill Clinton aware of the shenannigans here in L.A. under Doucheairagosa, so Andrew calls up and tells VillarGreuel blog-spinning trolls to remember the political operative "rules of the game."

Just like with gangs these days, these young punks have no respect for "rules of the game."

So I had to "GO BIG" to capture Andrew's attention, and try and scare him away from Antonio and Wendy, because they are all in on it together, and are using each other to help lift each other up and over the wall to try and help Bill and Hillary Clinton try to continue to "achive their dream" ($$$/power) without having the luxury of the White House and Oval Office as they are achieving it. (A comprimised dream, but a master plan still worth carrying out, even if you have to do it around Obama's back.)

AND AREN'T YOU WONDERING WHERE THIS IS GOING!:

It appears as though Zuma Dogg may have attracted the attention of former FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator, member of the New York City Joint Terrorist Task Force for 14 years (1986 -- 2000) and co-case agent for TERRSTOP (the Blind Sheik Case – Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman) and the TWA Flight 800 Catastrophe and lead Crisis Negotiator for the New York City Division of the FBI, Chris Voss.

And without revealing my sources, I am here to say that Mr. Voss most likely became aware of this blog, and hit his radar over THIS CONTENT:

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo Pay-To-Play Indictment IN JEOPARDY Over Key Witness Controversy

Chairman of IMG Artists, 47 year old Barrett Nathaniel Wissman, is the key witness and, as Kenneth Lovett of the New York Daily News reports, is known as John Doe 1 in the New York state Indictment and as Individual A in the related SEC Indictment. Wissman has a major role in this corruption scandal according to the indictments. It is now known that, in a plea agreement for cooperation and being an informant against former partners, clients, and other fund managers, Wissman made a deal with the AG's office where he plead guilty to a felony and a misdemeanor and agreed to pay $12 million over a specified period.

This plea agreement is obviously better for Wissman than the potential criminal sentencing that he is facing not including the new potential charges of conspiracy to commit treason.

Wissman is the 95% owner of IMG Artists, a management company for classical musicians, opera stars, and special events. Wissman is also a long time partner in many investments with businessman and Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark K. Hunt. Hunt is the son of Lamar Hunt founder of the American Football League and grandson of oil man H.L. Hunt.

Wissman's ownership of IMG Artists is held by W Artists, LLC. W Artists is owned by an offshore entity located in Jersey (Channel Islands). It is believed that Wissman does most of his business through offshore trusts and other entities in order to avoid US Income Taxes, part of Plaintif's First Amended Original Petition in Harris County & Texas, Case No. 2002-65222 EOS Partners, LP, et al., v. Novo Networks, Barrett Wissman, Clark K. Hunt, et. al. Wissman and Hunt, previously residents of Dallas, Texas, relocated a principal part of their business to Nevis and St. Croix and declared residents of St. Croix for a significant period as a tax avoidance scheme. (You can lose a football franchise over something like this, I have been told.)

This tax avoidance tactic is presently under review by the Federal Government as it is alleged that they did not meet the business employment or days in residence requirement. Sources close to Wissman have noted that Wissman is in the process of obtaining a Dubai passport. It has been alleged that Wissman and his Russian wife plan to relocate outside of the United States and have no intention of paying the $12 million plea arrangement.

The AG Cuomo and the SEC indictments allege that the pay-to-play corruption conspiracy scandal reaches the highest levels of business and politics. Wissman has allegedly profited in the millions of dollars and has orchestrated the placement of the New York State Common Retirement Fund (NYSCRF) in the investment of over $1 billion. Many of the financial world's top investment managers were clients of Wissman along with indicted Henry "Hank" Morris. The two allegedly did business and shared placement fees for investments by NYSCRF in such investments managers including: The Carlyle Group, Consulting Services Group (CSG), Aldus Equity, Clessidra Fund, Quadrangle, Mezzacappa Management, Clinton Group, Pacific Corporate Group (PCG) CapitalPartners, and Access Capital Advisors.

THAT'S WHAT ZUMA DOGG WAS INTERESTED IN...PENSIONGATE:

BUT HERE IS WHAT MR. VOSS MAY HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN...

The new reports of Wissman’s conspiracy to commit treason are presently in the hands of the office of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, but the office has not yet acted considering the damage these reports would do to their case. It is now known that the following memo has been put before senior staff at the office of the AG;

Re: URGENT MATTER – ILLEGAL TRANSFER OF RESTRICTED MILITARY TECHNOLOGY

I am writing to you concerning an urgent matter. I have learned that the Chairman of IMG Artists, Barrett N. Wissman is involved in an unlawful transfer of restricted military technology, including a violation of both United States and Israel International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The restricted military technology in question is discussed in further detail below. I believe that transferring this restricted military technology in violation of law may negatively impact the United States, our troops in Iraq or Afghanistan, and Israel.

As described more fully below, the Chief Executive Officer of IMG Artists, XXXXX, telephone number XXXXX, and the Chief Financial Officer of IMG Artists, XXXXX, telephone number XXXXX, have already refused the directive of Mr. Wissman to sign the relevant documentation that is required to transfer the restricted technology. This documentation requires the signor to fully certify the end user. Both XXXXX and XXXXX are prepared to cooperate with the relevant federal authorities. They are also fully prepared to provide sworn affidavits and testify as necessary including as a witness in federal court.

Wissman has arranged a quid pro quo that, in exchange for arranging this illegal transaction, Sheik Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will invest over $100 million in one or more of Wissman’s companies. It is believed that after the Sheik obtains possession of the restricted military equipment, he intends to transfer it to Chinese authorities. It is also believed that once the Chinese obtain this technology, they will reverse engineer it, use it at will and/or transfer it to Iran as well as others. Wissman has made multiple trips to the UAE and China in an effort to arrange this unlawful transfer.

Wissman has conspired with the Sheik to illegally acquire the restricted military technology from the Camero Company of Israel. The technology that Wissman is attempting to illegally acquire and transfer is known as the Xaver 800 High Performance, ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). The device is a portable, high performance sensor system, optimized for gathering instant and accurate real-time information from behind solid walls. The Xaver 800’s superior object resolution provides information about room dimensions and major infrastructure elements as well as a quick location of people hidden by walls and barriers. The technology tracks the movement patterns of people to support differentiation between victims and hostiles. This Camero technology requires evidence of the end user and is restricted from sale to the UAE 2 by both Israel and the United States. I have attached more information of the Camero Company and the Xaver 800.

Wissman’s first attempt to obtain the technology was by acquiring it from the UK Distributor, the Pilgrims Group. Wissman directed XXXXX, XXXXX, and XXXXX (Chief Counsel of IMG Artists) to receive and sign for the technology when delivered. They became very suspicious and refused to sign for the technology when Wissman was not able to provide a legal end user.

Now, knowing that LA Daily Blog hit Mr. Voss' radar, within 24 hours of posting the above content, it would lead me to believe it was this post that captured his attention, and not the clip of Zuma Dogg singing, "I Will Always Love You" LIVE from inside the library. (ZD's #1 "most requested" comedy clip of all time, surpassing even "Gene Simmons Mask" and "Fun to Sing Like Steve Perry" clips.)

So knowing that Mr. Voss is in the "International Affairs industry" that includes "prevention through disruption" (if I may paraphrase), and in this case the "disruption" would be of a transfer of restricted military technology in violation of law as described above...maybe that would be something worth disrupting through prevention. And in this case the prevention may end up disrupting an Attorney General's office and possibly election chances.

Here's an excerpt from Voss' bio that leads my paranoid and sleep deprived, and oh yeah; narcassistic and delusional mind to such possible conclusions: "Therefore disrupting their kidnapping operations through disruptive negotiation techniques is a strategy that can be effective in disrupting terrorism."

CLICK HERE FOR YouTube of Chris Voss and more.

Here is some more material pertaining to the strategies and applications of Mr. Chris Voss of Black Swan. And remember, Mr. Voss' whole game now is consulting corporations and business how to "negotiate" and make sure the negotiation sticks. Which is what Antonio and the unions need now. So that is why I am including some "how the clock was made" info in addition to just telling you what time it is. (In other words, if I am interested in this material as City Hall related blogger, maybe you will enjoy it, too. (If not, simply scroll to next post.)

EXCERPTS FROM CHRIS VOSS BIO INFO:

"A more direct risk as a result of economic instability is workplace violence. In one French town, a company closed a plant and left workers with few protections, inciting a riot and a state of civil unrest in the town. With more forethought and consideration of the employees, the company could have headed off such a backlash."

"The biggest this is knowing when the answer is NOT a yes. And a lot of people like the sound of "yes" so much, that as soon as they hear something that sounds like yes, then they try to move as quickly past it as they can, because they think they have a solid yes. And knowing when "yes" is really a "maybe" is a HUGE issue."

Mr. Voss' contention is that what he learned from Jim Camp’s book “Start With No” blended easily with what the FBI was doing in its negotiation program and was an important influence in developing new strategies for that program. Voss contends that the principles of hostage and kidnapping negotiation are directly applicable to business negotiation. He states that kidnappers run their operations as a form of a "business", albeit an illegal business, and as such are governed by basic business principles. Negotiation tactics that disrupt businesses will disrupt kidnapping operations. If a terrorist or criminal gang conducts a kidnapping, they have an expectation of receiving revenue in the form of a ransom within some expected time frame. If the time frame is continually extended beyond their expectations then the ransom victim becomes a form of inventory that is difficult to "turn over" and therefore undesirable. Since the business has a "sunk cost" in this "inventory" they will not discard it, but will continue to bargain for until it is "sold". Their long-term reaction will either be to avoid this type of "inventory" (meaning they will avoid kidnapping this type of person) in the future or change businesses.

Many terrorist organizations use kidnapping as a source of funding. Therefore disrupting their kidnapping operations through disruptive negotiation techniques is a strategy that can be effective in disrupting terrorism. Since kidnapping negotiation is a form of business negotiation, Voss contends that savvy kidnapping negotiators would be talented business negotiators. Voss contends business negotiators can learn a great deal from the kidnapping negotiation process. Interestingly enough, He also contends that people who negotiate on the behalf of kidnapping victims have to form an effective working relationship with their criminal counterparts. The agreement with the kidnapper is effectively a "contract", yet there is no recourse for enforceability. The agreement itself has to be negotiated through a process wherein the process makes the agreement meet all requirements of "durability". If this contention is true, then these strategies have tremendous application to business. Increasing the durability of agreements, or negotiating them in ways which ensures that they will be performed upon would reduce or eliminate costs associated with renegotiating contracts or the legal fees associated with filing lawsuits in an attempt to enforce contracts." [THE CITY OF L.A. SHOULD HIRE THIS GUY!]

A more direct risk as a result of economic instability is workplace violence. In one French town, a company closed a plant and left workers with few protections, inciting a riot and a state of civil unrest in the town. With more forethought and consideration of the employees, the company could have headed off such a backlash.

Villaraiogsa has a FUCKING BLAST in San Fransisco at what looks like one hell of a "fun" fund raisers with Platinum Capital's Darius Anderson, also of Gold Bridge. Jerry Brown has issued subpoenas, but nothing worth stopping the party over.


Platinum Advisors founder Darius Anderson at the same party Villaraigosa is pandering at.

Ya know, I really do not like the divisive spin coming out of Mayor Anotnio VIllarigosa's office regarding a certain newly elected official who CREAMED THE CAREER out of Jackass Weiss.

There is a lot of scandal and corruption to be told when you are talking about losing $7 BILLION dollars of CITY PENSION MONEY in a scheme that the SEC is now investigating, arrests and guilty pleas have been made, subpeonas issued by NY & CA Attorney General's office, AND TODAY, Los Angeles City Council finally delivers Zuma Dogg the biggest "I TOLD YOU SO" OF ALL TIME, as those 7 BILLION TIME LOSERS OF L.A. CITY COUNCIL held a hearing regarding "LACER PENSION REFORM" (too late, dumb-ass Councilosers), which included one guy who basically says Villaraigosa has been shady as fuck all along. I AM GOING DOWN AS A LEGEND IN THIS CITY FOR BEING SO FUCKING RIGHT ON THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN CITY & STATE HISTORY, THAT I AM STILL BEING HUMBLE AS I SAY THIS.

And now, EVERYONE in the media can join in with this scandalous and tragic story of greed, arrogance and corruption now that the LA Times will surely be covering this.

Here are the names I am publishing to punish Villaraigosa for paying people to spin against the new City Attorney's office. I am going to bitch slap you with my blog until you can't even get elected for Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council, let alone Governor.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL EVEN THE MONEY LAUNDERERS WHO BACK VILLARAIGOSA WON'T TOUCH HIM!

two can play at this game, bitch! and YOU will lose. i have nothing. you have EVERYTHING to lose. but you WON'T be able to walk away. you just won't i would stay away from vegas and keep your commissioner appointments hands off the pension money. DON'T WORRY, VILLAR'S TEAM IS OUTTA THERE! IT'S JUST SO OVER FOR TEAM VILLAR. His pension team is getting yanked by the city,IF NOT THE FEDS! There is NO WHERE TO HIDE! Better hop on the plane to Dubai, TEAM VILLARAIOGSA and international drug launderers and their political cronies.

L.A. councilmen say mayor shouldn't control pension boards

from L.A. Times - California | Local News

Dennis Zine and Bernard C. Parks say Villaraigosa should not be able to appoint the majority of members to the City Employees' Retirement System and the Fire and Police Pensions boards.

Responding to investigations of public pension systems across the country, two members of the Los Angeles City Council called Wednesday for a reduction in Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's power to pick pension board members.

Would You Like Zuma Dogg to Head To Colorado for the Democratic National Convention and Blog LIVE Video and Audio?

Council will be on recess, so Zuma Dogg was thinking of heading to Colorado for the Democratic National Convention at the end of August.

My friends are heading up to hold a rally on the 28th, just before Barack (or Hillary?) is nominated! So they have a house for ZD to crash on the floor.

AND, a consituent was nice enough to give ZD a FREE round-trip airline ticket cause the person knows I kinda need a vacation. The ticket does not require a reservation, so I can use it for this trip.

The only thing is some expense money for food and whatever else, cause I don't think I should be heading up there under the same broke-ass/starving circumstances I operate under in Los Angeles. (It will take a lot more energy, so I gotta eat.)

IF YOU WANT TO HELP SPONSOR THIS TRIP, I CAN GIVE YOU SPONSORSHIP MENTIONS IN THE VIDEO AND AUDIO REPORTS THAT I WILL BE BLOGGING.

AND BY HELPING SPONSOR THIS, ALL THE OTHER BLOGS CAN LINK TO THE VIDEOS, AUDIO AND BLOG POST, TOO.

I've spoken with Mayor Sam, and if I make it, I will give him stuff to blog first, too...and will offer other exclusives to other bloggers if they want. (Sometimes some people are in front of their computers, when others aren't. Should be alot of stuff to cover.

SAVE LOS ANGELES: Hillary Clinton 4 President (She'll Take Villaraigosa With Her To Run HUD)

Too bad Clinton was un-electable from the start, but when you think about it...the people of Los Angeles SHOULD have been supporting Hillary Clinton for President, all along?

Why would ZD suggest voting for a delusional, sociopath who will say and do anything to get into the White House? SHE'LL TAKE VILLARAIGOSA WITH HER TO WASHINGTON and place him as head of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) so he can game the system for the entire county, the way he just gamed Los Angeles. (Some call it "racketeering".)

But at least that would get that little douchebag out of the City and let him be the whole nation's problem. So hurry, call your local superdelagate and tell them you switch support from Obama to Clinton. And if you are a local superdelegate, call Howard Dean and tell him you wanna switch from Barack to Hillary. The future of Los Angeles depends on it. Screw the rest of the country!

Hillary Clinton Forced To Fire Her Chief Strategist Mark Penn Over Columbia Government Dealings

This ain't good for one-time Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. This guy Mark Penn was her chief strategist. And since Hillary has not heart or emotion -- strategy is all she's got. And this guy was the architect. She's screwed. It's like Anchorman Ron Burgundy without a teleprompter. I say who cares about that loser Mark Penn. If he's the one who has been coming up with her strategy, he should have been fired a long time ago. He's the one who came up with the whole arrogant, "I'm Hillary, I'm the incumbent, anointed, slam-dunk candidate." (Didn't resonate with people and then, well...we all know what happened.)

Why can't Clinton's strategy be, just be honest and straight-forward? She's in big perceptual trouble now, with bad answers on the "gun fire" mis-speak, Mark Penn Columbian Government debacle and hospital incident that is the talk of cable news today.

Here's the Clinton strategy:
a) Put foot in mouth
b) Put other foot in mouth as you screw up explaining a).
c) Repeat process until every superdelagate in town can't carry your baggage anymore.

From Wall Street Journal

Clinton Aide
Sacked Over
Controversy
On Colombia

By JACKIE CALMES
April 7, 2008; Page A1

WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton replaced the longtime chief strategist (Mark Penn) of her struggling presidential campaign after the disclosure that he was working with Colombia's government to help win congressional approval of a trade pact that she opposes. The move comes two weeks before the pivotal Pennsylvania Democratic primary, where trade issues are likely to play a big role.

Former adviser Mark Penn speaks to reporters following a debate

The quick ouster of Mr. Penn, despite his long and close ties to both Hillary and Bill Clinton, reflects the potential damage done by his actions at a time when the New York senator is fending off calls within the Democratic Party to concede the presidential-nomination race to Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

VIDEO: Richardson Endorses Obama (Sorry Hillary Fans...That's Gonna Be The Dream Ticket)

Here's video of former Presidential Candidate Bill Richardson on stage endorsing Barack Obama earlier today.



It doesn't take a Batcomputer to say, "Yeah, that's the ticket!" They looked good together, and Richardson (the only Hispanic Governor ever) may help Barack steal Latino voters who were favoring Hillary Clinton, now that Richardson has endorsed Obama. (It's a nightmare scenario for Hillary. What's next...the Senior Ladies Association to endorse Obama?) I agree with Pelosi that their ain't gonna be no "dream ticket" unless you dream about Obama/Richardson.

Here's Obama's full speech (including Richardson's endorsement). Forward one hour into the clip (1:03:00) for Obama's close. HE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! Call him MC Hammer, cause you can't touch this. IT'S OVER FOR HILLARY...IT'S OVER FOR MCCAIN. WATCH THIS SPEECH...MC HAMMER, Y'ALL!!! (Wait for the Stevie to kick in at the end of the speech! It's not even fair!)

Are the Walls Caving In on LA City Council Chambers?

First, Jose Huizar's Chief of Staff Joe "Safer, Greener, Cleaner" Avila leaves to go to work at DWP. I heard LA City Council President Eric Garcetti and mayoral hopeful CM Janice Hahn are both replacing their Chief of Staff...and now CM Tom LaBong's Communications Director, Jane Galbraith, is leaving to go spin for DWP in the "public affairs group".

What's up with all the defections? Maybe Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa needs some helpers at DWP to help jam those rate hikes through.

And as the Hillary Clinton Campaign Co-Chair, I call for Mayor Antonio Villarigosa to both reject and renounce New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's Super-Delagate support for Clinton. Anything less would be seen as an endorsement of this type of hypocrisy and a besmirch on the City of Los Angeles, and all Los Angelinos since the mayor has decided to use his position as LA Mayor to get involved in all of this.

VIDEO: Barack Obama Responds To Clinton: I Am Not Running For Vice President

Hillary Clinton's jabs at Barack Obama appear to have backfired, again, based on Obama's response from a Columbus rally that was televised on all the cable news channels.



Obama wondered aloud how someone who is in second place is offering the Vice Presidency to someone who is in first place? And he noted that he has won twice as many states; has more of the popular vote; and has more delegates.

He also threw down the gauntlet proclaiming that he is not running for Vice President, and assured the crowd...let there be no mistake; people are going to have to choose between "business as usual" (same old politics), or his change agenda.

In my opinion, he nailed the response and not only defended himself against Clinton's political spin tactic (being in second place, but trying to pretend she is the leader) -- but he used it to his advantage and when the sound bite hits the news stations tonight, the momentum is going his way, again.

Clinton WIll Take Nomination and Choose Obama As VP (Sorry Kiddies!)

I know it has been exciting to watch Barack Obama create so much excitment across the country this campaign season as such an excellent public speaker. And his campaign sure must have done a great job to take on the notorious Clinton campaign machine that is known to chew up and spit out anything that gets in its way.

But she won Ohio and Texas, and I think the new car smell on Obama is about to fade.

Here's why I think Hillary will take the nomination (and I do use the word "take", not "win"): Barack may have more delegates, but Hillary has hit her tone this past week and looks like a momentum candidate, herself, now. If she had been this good from day one, she never would have been in this mess.

But how can the Democratic National Convention give it to Hillary, if Barack has more delegates? Between now and then, the issue of, "who is ready on the first day/no time for on the job training" will be a big issue. Especially against John Mccain.

And she won Ohio, so they will say the Democrats need her for that pivotal swing state. (Plus Texas and all those other big states.) The Clinton campaign will probably be able to weasel the early Michigan and Florida primary votes that will favor Clinton.

But here's the main thing: In big, bureaucratic situations like corporations or national elections...the young, new, optimistic, momentum "people's choice" genre never makes it through in the first round.

For example, this reminds me of when alternative rock came out. Mainstream radio rejected it, even though all the kids were listening to it. Then, at the risk of having these people hate you for NOT playing alternative, you reluctantly are stuck adding a few alternative songs, because you don't want to alienate these people, but you would NEVER hand over the keys to the radio station and go "all alternative".

So although no one is completely happy -- the people who don't like alternative rock with their bubble gum pop are stuck with some new neighbors on the playlist...and although the alternative rockers wish it was ALL alternative rock...they are happy that their genre is finally getting the respect it deserves with at least some airplay. (In other words, you gotta be happy with Barack as VP and consider it a victory.)

In other words...even though Barack is the popular new genre, right now. With Hillary winning Ohio and Texas, it is going to be a lot harder for the Democratic party to hand the keys over to Barack with the nomination. (Going all alternative rock). So they will give it to Hillary, she will put Barack on the ticket as VP.

It's like when Celine Dion and Mariah Carey had big comeback hits, just as alternative rock was about to wipe all pop music off the map.

So, Barack will come out to all the disappointed masses who will be so disenfranchised they will probably never vote again and say, "Look, I went from Freshman Senator to a neck and neck race for the nomination with Hillary Clinton, who served as first lady for eight years. That's a lot of name recognition, service and history to catch up with. So this is not a defeat for all the people who supported me, but a victory.

Because now I can serve as Vice President, under the most experienced administration ever to walk into the White House on day one. It would have been nice for us to waltz into the White House first time out, like this. But it takes a while for the rest of the system to be ready to embrace that change. So it's a dream come true for us to be in this position, as the Vice Presidential candidate, and we'll be working hard to create the change to pave the way for next time.

Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, Bob Dylan and old veteran groups always seem to upset the Grammy's when people feel the young, hot and hip artist is a lock. It's called "Kanye West Syndrome" and the Barack fans should know that's the way it goes.

Metallica may have lost the "Heavy Metal" Grammy to Jethro Tull earlier on in their career...because it takes a while for "new" to filter into the mainstream. But Metallica had their day, all in good time.

So although Barack may have better numbers than Hillary...the older, more conservative powers that be will kill a complete victory for Obama and his fans, at least they get a few songs on the radio station. And next time, the General Manager will/comfortable to give them a station of their own.

So yes, ZD feels that they will still give it to Clinton, even though Barack is like Nirvana when alternative rock got hot...and she will have to give him the VP slot, even though I'm sure she doesn't want to, because at some point, you gotta play Pearl Jam on your radio station when "Jeremy" just won every MTV Video Music Award or you end up pissing everyone off.

Tune Into LADailyBlog.com for LIVE Obama/Clinton Debate From Cleveland Tonight at 9PM

If you are stuck behind a computer this evening and have no way to watch the Obama/Underdog Debate tonight in Cleveland...ta da!

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TUNED IN FOR THE LIVE DEBATE FEED ON LADAILYBLOG.COM! (I'd say that we'll bring you the next one, but she'll be stepping down before any further debate.) No fireworks. Not even a firecracker. No last round knock-out. No change in momentum. No Darryl Hammond comeback on SNL as Bill Clinton as First Gentleman. Oh well. The only minor score was when Obama made Clinton look small for her splitting of hairs over the difference between, "denounce" and "reject" over Farrakahn's endorsement of Obama. (So 3rd Floor of Hillary.)

Transcript and Video of Hillary Clinton Lashing Out With, "Shame on You Barack!"

Sure sign Hillary knows it's over and time to go out kicking and screaming instead of with the dignity she was starting to demonstrate during the Texas debate. Since her, "Change you can Xerox" spin didn't work, time to up the ante. Do her campaign strategists really think this is going to work. Besides the fact that she is being a sad, laughable hypocrite for her divisive attack about devise attacks. (LOL!)

Hillary Clinton: "You hear one thing in speeches then you hear and then you see a campaign that has the worst kind of tactics. Reminiscent of the same sort of Republican attacks on Democrats. Well I am here to say that it is not only wrong but it is undermining core Democratic principals. Since when do Democrats attack one another on Universal Health Care. I thought we were trying to realize Harry Truman's Dream. Just because Senator Obama chose not to present a Universal Health Care Plan, does not give him the right to attack me, because I did. So let's have a real campaign. Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove's play book. This is wrong. And every Democrat should be outraged. Because this is the kind of attack that not only undermines core democratic values, but gives aid and comfort to the very special interests and their allies in the Republican party who are against doing what we want to do for for America. So shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public . That's what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio. Let's have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.

Oh, she gets the Emmy for Best Comedy Performance for this one (But the kind of comedy that is a dark, depressing comedy.)


SHE REALLY LETS HIM HAVE IT IN THIS ONE!


Gotta admit, they aren't playing this first part, where she details Obama's "bads"...they just cut to the part where she attacks him, without the set up. Looks like the media isn't a fan of Shillary, either.

But if you ask me...Mr. Perfect spun it his way, unless she can refute his claims against her. Most people haven't even seen the mailer, so they will just believe Mr. Perfect who had the last word. Click here for Barack's response to Shillary.

Matt Dowd Wants To Know, "Which Voters Gave You The Power To Align Los Angeles With Hillary Clinton

OPEN MESSAGE TO MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA
by Matt Dowd's Press Office

Hey Antonio....which voters of Los Angeles, when you became Mayor, gave you the power to align Los Angeles with Hillary Clinton???

You're the mayor of a major City, claiming to be in fiscal emergency, and yet you're never here, you're parading around the countryside, aligning yourself with Hillary, but what happens when her ship goes down???

You take us all down with you!!

See, we want federal money from the administration that wins, but because you're so completely and sickeningly partisan through this whole campaign, the perception is that YOU (and Los Angeles) are promoting Hillary. and if John McCain wins office, he'll remember you and what you're doing.

We never gave you the mandate to be a Hillary drone. you better pray like hell that Hillary wins, or you'll be run out of town, the day you get back.
