Marc Cooper is all excited about the new mayor of LA:
The landslide election of a Spanish-speaking liberal Latino to preside over America’s second largest city carries huge political symbolism especially at a time when the national immigration debate is simmering.
There’s just a couple of problems with this. For one, Antonio Villaraigosa doesn’t speak Spanish. He can say a few words, but George W. Bush’s Spanish is way better than his, so Cooper should be overfuckingjoyed that we have our first Spanish-speaking president.
Second, Villaraigosa is so clueless he has to be somebody’s puppet. As Assembly speaker he once had to ask John Burton in a committee hearing how to contact the Governor to discuss a bill. He left Sacramento knowing no more than before he arrived.
LA is essentially a non-governable entity, but under Antonio’s rule it will become even less governed than before. It’s a sad day for LA.
“Second, Villaraigosa is so clueless he has to be somebody’s puppet.”
From your posts I can tell that you are too intelligent to think that it is impossible for someone who is clueless to be elected to higher office. In that case you must know who is the puppet master. Who is it? It is not me is it? No that does not make sense. If I was his master I would have heard about him before his election. It can’t be you because you would not have a puppet who was so clueless as to attract suspicion.
It is not the Free Masons is it?
By the way, since I only know that he is described as a Spanish speaking liberal (who can’t speak Spanish) is he a social liberal or an economic/socialism kind of liberal. I am hoping the former but I assume the latter.
