		<description>What Tony Villaraigosa and Tom Cruise have in common is that they both are experiencing untreated personality disorders.</description>

		<description>Yikes! Tom Cruise is only 5&#039;7&quot;, so this makes Villasinvergüenza even shrimpier... and you know what they say about some short men...
...and yeah, I focused on the silliest thing in order to go with the flow of some of your visitor&#039;s comments.
As for this knucklehead ending up as the governor of this state we should all remember who the governor is now. Obviously, ANYONE can be elected governor.</description>

		<description>Go back and read the old posts and see how people were saying that Joe Baca and Henry Cisneros were responsible for housing crisis (lol). I&#039;m not twisting anything.</description>

		<description>No one said Joe Baca was responsible for the housing crisis.  That’s just you and the lies you like to twist from someone’s comments.  I have never written about Loretta Sanchez’s promiscuous behavior.  I have seen her inebriated several times, making loud stupid comments, acting inappropriate for a public figure.  I am more appalled with her public theft.  But this is what you do.  It’s all here in this database.  You twist comments and rewrite them to the point they become lies.  This is what makes you so shameless.  And for someone who touts higher education as a means of advancement, it seems to not have helped you in the least.</description>

		<description>MichaelR: &quot;she defended Joe Baca’s attempts at profiteering at his constituent’s expense through these sub prime mortgages.&quot;

No, I didn&#039;t. I said that Joe Baca was not responsible for the housing crisis, as you and others here were claiming. 

As for criticism of Latino politicians being gossip, much of it is. Rarely can anybody come up with a specific reason why they don&#039;t like someone that has to do with public policy.  It&#039;s usually unsubstantiated rumors, as in the case of Loretta Sanchez and her supposed affair. Or Linda Sanchez&#039;s baby, or vague accusations of &quot;corruption&quot; against politicians who have never been accused of or charged with any wrong doing.</description>

		<description>Villar needs to go...and i hope the great People of Califas refuse to vote for him another term.  My only concern is if they (Californians) all think like Anna, Playboy Villar will survive another 4 years.  WHAT A SHAME...</description>

		<description>For those with harsh words about Villaraigosa, just remember that four years ago he was the same person, and yet you probably were enthusiastic about his candidacy and victory over James Hahn. &quot;The first Latino Mayor of Los Angeles&quot; (well, the first... in 150 years) became our headline. Yes, he is well dressed; yes, he loves the cameras and being in the center. And yes, he is enamored with his job. ¿Y que? Is life in Los Angeles better after four years of AV? Do you believe in his beliefs and projects and agenda? (I&#039;d say he didn&#039;t deliver yet complete results, but set a trend of change and grand projects) Remember also that the 987 million dollar deficit of the city comes from the national economic crisis and the debacle over the budget in Sacramento. Que no?</description>

		<description>Not one campaign promise achieved, all he does is raise taxes, travels all over the world on the Angeleno’s dime, campaigns for Hillary on the Angeleno’s dime, and spends only 11% of his monthly work hours conducting the City of Los Angeles’ business.  And Villaraigosa continues to preside over the most inept public school district in the United States.  All that behavior is understandable because this job far exceeds his intelligence quota.  Life was easier when he was just a bagman for Carlos Vignali, Jr.</description>
