Ashleigh’s Three Best Galloway Hits, from Thursday’s St Boniface forum:
1. In her very first statement, Ash sounded the alarm on Disney recently hitting a record $1.5 MILLION funneled into this Anaheim election, and added that they had MAXED OUT to not only Harry Sidhu (who as usual didn’t bother showing up) but also to “Ms Galloway.” A furious Galloway retorted that Disney’s contributions carry no weight with her, and added, “You should see how much Ashleigh gets from her fellow TRIAL LAWYERS.” For the rest of the evening a defiant Ash referred to herself as a “proud trial lawyer.” What did Galloway think this was, a John Birch Society meeting?
2. Who best supported Measure L, the living wage for resort workers? Ash: “Unlike some folks here who showed up at the living wage town hall 8 months ago, I didn’t sit in the very front and center, get my picture taken, and then immediately leave early.” Yup, we too saw Galloway do exactly that, in the time-honored tradition of uncaring grandstanding politicians like Correa and Brandman. In contrast, Ash stayed late, took notes, signed on, walked and got signatures, and has been deeply involved ever since.
3. Ash admitted to once, early on, having a meeting with Disney and some other resort interests. Rather than listening to what they wanted from Anaheim, she told them “what Anaheim wants from them. They were polite and listened, and I never heard from them again, never got a dime from them. APPARENTLY THEY WENT SHOPPING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.”
It’s become painfully clear that, just as I predicted last year, the only purpose for the value-free Galloway’s pathetic campaign is to drain just enough Democratic votes from Ashleigh (the endorsed Democrat) to allow Sidhu to win. This is a solid that Galloway is doing for Disney and Pringle, doubtless in return for future help with her Eli Home. I was hoping to be able to ignore this woman for the rest of my life, but apparently I can’t and neither can the unions or Democrats. So prepare yourselves for a Deluge of Galloway Truth this week.
I got a flyer: Republicans for Galloway.
No, I am not kidding.
Who says that political satire is dead?
“So prepare yourselves for a Deluge of Galloway Truth this week.”
Jeez, it’s about time. But don’t be too forthright or Lil’ Clumski will soil himself.
Just heard that Lil’ Clumski just barely escaped being removed from his cherished position on the Democrats’ Central Committee. “Censured” instead … for making people including women feel “physically threatened” by his violent gestures and gangstery threats (“I’ll make your life miserable!”) … and always over stupid Agran/Irvine issues.
Phil Bacerra’s endorsement was yanked, at least that’s good news. Still waiting to hear about Greg’s resolution about Rackauckas’ snitch scandal.
Nothing on thievery then?
Yeah, what about sign theft and trespass?
Dunno, wasn’t there.
Since Buena Park’s Sunny Park has now done the same thing as Mrs. Chaffee, that probably WOULD have been a timely thing for the DPOC to take a position on.
At least my NO JORDAN DISNEY CARPETBAGGER signs seem to be staying up! (Instead, Jordan’s apologists have been trying to get me removed as Anaheim Dems Vice President, so far without success.)
Yeah, Vern, it would have been timely.
Thousands of votes cast for Supervisor in D4, but DPOC doesn’t care.
On my way to Bushala’s. He’s doing an event with Todd about this. I’m-a film it.
I bet the DA hasn’t even interviewed Doug or Paulette.
Of course not. Hence, Todd’s presser at 11.
Sounds like fun.
Good payback for the Bushala’s, too. Rackauckas one prosecuted Tony’s brother on charges trumped up by the Fullerton cops.
If we had endorsed Paulette, I expect that we should have yanked it, but we hadn’t. I hadn’t heard of the Sunny Park thing; I’ve learned that supposedly her explanation is that she had taken a sign to prove to the city that there was no required ID on it, but that doesn’t make much sense. I don’t think that it had reached people in DPOC in time and our agenda was packed as it is. Was the carpetbagger sign one of Tony’s — and, if so, WHY?
People started jumping in and editing it — and then it failed on a 15-12 vote. But, the now-roused Resolutions Committee has agreed to revise it, vote on it by phone, and pass it on to the Executive Committee. If the Exec Committee has a phone vote as well, it could approve it before the election. Except for Florice Hoffman, who could not let go of nor notion that it was all about Spitzer, sentiment seemed pretty positive and people mostly wanted it shorter, simpler, and snappier. So we’ll see what happens.
When did Florice get such a (negative) hardon for Spitzer? I only ask because (I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned recently) Florice was one of the very few Democrats I saw at Todd’s political coming-out party in 2010, where I played piano. She told me she was there because Todd was “good to labor.”
Her position is that Todd has “veered hard-right.” She didn’t get past the slogan.
It was aggravating, because she was refusing to address the topic on the merits. I could have taken back the floor from her, but didn’t. I don’t know if she actually supports Racky (likely on behalf of a client, if so), but … we’ll you can read the draft yourself and ask whether “but Spitzer has [allegedly] turned hard right!” is abt sort of answer to “we should tell the public where we stand on these critical issues.”
I can’t talk about the deliberations, but as the outcome was a censure — something public, but which I consider a slap on the wrist — I guess I can confirm that. A 2/3 threshold for removal is hard to reach, especially with at least a third of the body being Agran diehards
What’s interesting to me is whether a board member threatening to get someone fired constitutes both tortuous and criminal extortion. That would seem to depend on whether the threats were credible and on whether he was trying to obtain a thing of value with his threats.
There will be plenty of time to write about that after the election.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty.
Theft from Aunt, leading to judgment against Lori and her husband.
Bankruptcy, to ensure Lori has fully screwed her Aunt, leaving her homeless and penniless.
Using her “charity” the Eli Home as a piggyback for her family.
Leaving her charity $29k in the hole, but making sure she has drawn her family’s salaries for the year.
WHO WOULD TRUST LORRI GALLOWAY WITH THE CITY’S FINANCES?!
My bet is that Lorri’s “charity” will be getting Disney money to ensure she has a salary next year.
NO WAY Disney will donate to Lorri’s charity just to give it money to pay Lorri & family the money she so richly desires!
(They’ll use untraceable intermediaries instead, of course!)
