Could Antonio Villaraigosa BE anymore self centered?
read this: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-me-dems17jun17,1,3305618.story?coll=la-headlines-politics&ctrack=1&cset=true
"Villaraigosa is torn between party loyalty and the potential rewards offered by his new alliance with the Republican governor. He plans to campaign with Schwarzenegger for bond measures on the November ballot that could offer Los Angeles billions of dollars for schools, housing and traffic relief. And the governor would decide where much of that bounty went.

There is also a matter of personal ambition: Villaraigosa is widely seen as a top Democratic candidate for governor in 2010 — provided that Angelides loses."

7. Why is your knee jerk response to believe this article after everything
you've seen from the MSM since the mid-90s?

Is this story anything more than speculation and mind-reading?

3. I also call BS on that story.
After reading the Los Angeles Times for over
40 years, I've never seen their stories as slanted
and biased as they are now.

Want half of the story?
Read the LA Times.

This is certainly not the LA Times I grew up with!

4. When Scheer gets the axe
and you find out it was bought out by a Rupert Murdoch-type from Chicago, go figger.

8. The Lies Angeles TImes is run by the Chicago Fibune.
Ever since the Chandlers sold out, the Lies Angeles Times has lost whatever credibility it had. It's going back to the days when it hawked "TRUE INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM" (no unions) on it's mast...
