[Editor’s Note: Background: The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday: “County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky used his position on the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission to score a pair of hard-to-get tickets to the 2004 Super Bowl in Houston. Whether he paid for them, why he obtained them and who provided them is in dispute. ]
Hey, out there.
Do you know the identity of the lucky holder of that pair of Super Bowl ducats that made the front page of the Times's California section? We do!
Zev is in hot water.
He's lying when he says that he paid for the two Coliseum seats with $750 cash out of his own pocket handed over at the time to Coliseum General Manager Patrick Lynch – with no receipt demanded by Mr. Zev ?
That must be the biggest fib in LA already!
No way.
Maybe you shouldn't forget that I am Jewish, too. I was taught, almost since birth by the Jewish side of my family, never do a cash deal without a damned receipt? Is Zev any different? God forbid!
Zevele, bubbele, you paid bupkiss for those expensive tickets.
By the way, in Yiddish, Zev means wolf.
Oh, and the name of the Mystery Constituent whose wallet the Super Bowl tickets ultimately ended up in?
We put that Mystery Constituent's name on the home page of our stark website hollywoodhighlands.org late last evening .
And the “Mystery Constituent whose hidden identity supposedly remains a mystery throughout L.A political circles – (drum roll, please) is none other than your friend and mine, Mr. Howard Berman.
Let's see if either Berman or Yaroslavsky will deny it when asked directly by Congressman Brad Sherman (Mr. Berman’s rival for office next month) and the fekokte media who the Mystery Constituent was who received the super-duper bargain on Super Bowl tickets?
Now everybody is hip to why Zev really bugged out on running for Mayor.
He knew already that this ticket-gate scandal was about to break so he baloneyed the press about how wasn't going to run for L.A. Mayor because he wanted more time to play with his grandkids.
Oy vey.
What a prevaricator.
So where did I get my information, you might ask?
All I am saying is, many thanks to the anonymous staff tipsters at the Garcetti For Mayor campaign office for whatever and whoever. Here and there. Now and then.
They know what I mean!
