There has been a lot of hubbub in the media over the last few days about Controller and Mayoral candidate Wendy Greuel striking back against media source Randy Economy and his exposé of her running for office on City time.
This should come as a surprise to no one.
This type of behavior is common with corrupt Los Angeles politicians. Our corrupt degenerate of a Mayor recently was photographed partying with drug-abusing TV star Charlie Sheen down at a resort in Mexico. There were no calls from the media for him to resign. Why would there be? The media is on his side.
Mayor Villaraigosa spent four years behaving like a buffoon, cheating on his wife and jet-setting around the country at taxpayer expense on one ridiculous, nonsensical mission after another. When the Mayor gave the middle finger to the voters in the 2009 Mayoral election by refusing to appear at a single campaign event with any of his opponents... he beat his nearest competitor by nearly 30 points.
Degenerate Council Member Richard Alarcon has been under indictment for over two years now, yet his voters refuse to demand that he resign.
This type of contempt for voters breeds further contempt.
The Wendy Greuel campaign striking back at Randy Economy shouldn't be a surprise. After all, she has a Mayoral election to win. And media sources who underestimate her will be doing so at their own peril.
"The Pixie", as I like to call her, is a much more dangerous opponent than anyone realizes. As I said in a previous blog post, "Wendy is very low-key about the way she sticks daggers in the backs of the other candidates. You almost don't notice her doing it."
In fact, she has a way of crippling her opponents. She has become a lethal politician.
A real knife-fighter who will twist the blade into those who get in her way.
Mayor Greuel?
The Pixie will cut you.
Go ask her former opponents. If Gangster Tony Cardenas had not been gifted a Latino Congressional District by the Redistricting Board, he would soon be called Private Citizen Tony Cardenas.
Nick Patsouras and Kathleen "Suzy" Evans? Yeah.
You'll be lucky if you ever see them on a ballot again.
Regardless of the outcries of unfairness from the media, Wendy Greuel will stomp most of her opponents in the March election.
I don't see any way that it is not her and Eric Garcetti in the runoff in May.
