DA Office Braces for Bloodbath — Mass Firings Feared

EXCERPT
LOYALTY TEST: A few weeks ago, when Mayor-elect Willie Brown was mulling over his first appointment to the Board of Supervisors, Carole Migden offered up this advice: ``You have a free pass on this one, so appoint someone that will shine and someone who will be loyal.’’
He did, appointing Representative Nancy Pelosi ‘s aide, Michael Yaki , to replace Terence Hallinan.
Yaki represents the latest generation of the Burton-Brown machine, that liberal-labor combine of politicos that includes Brown, Pelosi , Assemblyman John Burton, plus Supervisors Kevin Shelley and Sue Bierman.
Even U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer started out as an aide in the Burton combine.
If there’s one thing the Burton clan knows about, it’s loyalty. By appointing Yaki , Brown proves his loyalty to Pelosi and gives Yaki a chance to prove his loyalty to Brown.
I’m sorry - I don’t understand the point? Are you trying to tell me that a bunch of leftists are all part of a leftist machine? Those of us in California are pretty aware of that. Shoot, even Hallinan (mentioned in your post) hails from a family of rabid Communists. (capital C)
