It's morning in Los Angeles, and the Mayor is dozing.
Rough week, huh, Jim? Let's see: Your appointees are bailing on you to back Bob Hertzberg's campaign against you. Bernard Parks - whom you kicked to the curb awhile back (not wrongly, in my opinion) is gunning for your job too.
These are all - what - talking points memos and photo ops, right? When was the last time you actively did anything for us that had an effect other than delivering lip service? Pushed for enforcement of the sweatshop laws? Actively intervened with the studios to help stem runaway production? Pushed for the cash to hire more cops, since L.A. has the lowest officer-to-citizen ratio in the nation?
Yes, it's going to be a long, hard slog to defeat in November, Your Honor. But we think you're up to it. The little feel-good campaigns are definitely doing the trick to solidify your commanding lead in the race to the back of the pack. Keep up the good work.
