A former Bush administration official has taken out papers to challenge state Sen. Charles Poochigian for the Republican nomination for state attorney general, a spokeswoman for the new candidate said Monday.

Pierre-Richard Prosper had served in President Bush's State Department as ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues until he recently departed the administration to enter the attorney general's race, spokeswoman Elizabeth Blackney said.

The Denver-born Prosper, 42, had previously served in the Clinton administration as a top assistant in the criminal division of the Department of Justice and as special counsel and policy adviser to the war crimes ambassador.

Prosper also is a former United Nations war crimes prosecutor who obtained a 1998 genocide conviction against a local official named Jeal-Paul Akayesu who allowed Hutu police to rape and murder Tutsi women during the ethnically based Rwandan civil war, according to his official State Department biography.

From 1994-96, Prosper served as a drug prosecutor for the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles. Before that, he worked five years as a Los Angeles County deputy district attorney, including two years he spent in the Hardcore Gang Division...

You don't like Dick Mountjoy in the Senate race?

Chuck Poochigian is running in the AG primary race... but the more the merrier.

Both likely have more name recognition than Pierre in SoCal and Sacramento, albeit his work in the LA legal arena some years ago..

Good luck!

We also already have a candidate for Senate to run against Feinstein, former State Senator Dick Mountjoy. He is one of the last of the old school in-the-trenches conservatives from the Reagan years.

What we need is someone with more artistic talent than I have -- to design a possible LOGO for Ambassador Prosper --

Are you interested?

The Denver-born Prosper, 42........

I thought he said he came with his parents from Haiti when he was 6?

He's very good looking, that could get him some female lib votes.

RonDog;

California is in the mess its in right now because of the White House. From Hispanic pandering to the Austrian pretender, California is up to its ears in a mess caused by moderation and the demonstarted unquenchable thirst for unprincipled victory by the Bush clan.

Please go peddle the Bush baby elsewhere. We already have Parsky and Schwarzenegger. We don't need more.

If the Bushs want to be helpful in California they can run their man against Feinstein and finance the run themselves.
