Despite questions of personal character, Villaraigosa has consolidated his power with public charisma and backroom chutzpah

My California friends tell me this dude is pretty much of an idiot. I guess after the election of Øbåmba the MSM political standards have lowered several steps in the evolutionary ladder and idiots now actually look good to them, as long as they're Democrats, of course.

This guy led the Communist Party activities at UCLA while he was a student there. Name at the time was Tony Villar. Changed his name to make it harder to track down those activities. He’s a piece of shit.

“My California friends tell me this dude is pretty much of an idiot.”

In CA, that brings extra points. “Qualification” has a whole different definition out there.

Do not underestimate the feral cunning with which this guy runs things. He's brutal and effective and has slick advisors to handle the heavy thinking. Villar was a big man in MECHA.

Oddly enough, he speaks abominable Spanish ... far worse than the Tex-Mex of our late WH recumbent, GW
