Hahn is a liberal, but has a modicum of sense and he was a crimfighter.
Villaraigosa was a leader of the So California ACLU or something like that and a great defender of gangs. He opposed it, when Hahn tried to crack down on them.
Wonderful.
I'm wondering how many R's who use to beat on Riordan for being too liberal would like to see him back again.
