Council President Herb Wesson
A clearly befuddled Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson on Friday asked something of the members of the public, who were serving as potential eyewitnesses, acting as observers of the City Council cut-ups presented that day on Channel 35 video cameras.
The something that Herb asked the public was the ultra-odd query:
“What color am I?”
See for yourself.
Frankly, the main goal of a very, very weary Wesson seemed to be currying favor with his Bossman, Eric Garcetti, who was making one of his increasingly rare visits to an L.A. Council meeting.
This time Eric's mission was to exploit the scheduled Armenian and Jewish Holocaust presentations taking place for his own incredibly ambitious mayoral campaign purposes.
It is painfully obvious that Herb believes Eric Garcetti is fated to succeed Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Mr. Wesson does not want to waste any of his semi-precious time and energy breaking in a brand new set of Monica Lewinsky kneepads on the next mayor.
See the official city document below where Herb automatically grants Eric Garcetti “another batch of excusal requests”!
That's a pass from President Herb to Master Eric, allowing Tricky Ricky to go AWOL for every City Council meeting jammed into the merry month of March.
This self-same municipal document allows Eric to campaign, uninterruptedly, for mayor on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays rather than plopping his tush down in his own Council Chambers seat to do his extremely well-paid duty and serve as an L.A. City Councilman.
Of course, Garcetti the Younger, in clear violation of the Los Angeles City Charter, still is getting paid his full salary of $180,000 yearly, whether or not he shows up at City Hall to do his damned job.
Wesson just loves to employ his black sheep son, Justin, to do all his Council dirty work for him.
Justin Wesson serves as one of Herb's deputies, despite the fact that his only qualification for the job is the DNA that he shares with Big Daddy Herb.
Justin will have a helluva time finding another high-paying job after this one, considering that Herb's Pride and Joy has an arrest charge for drunk driving currently is hanging, ominously, over his head.
You Are Gone. You Are Not Gone.
Later at the same Friday meeting, an attempted vote to banish John Walsh from the City Council meeting, ostensibly for being disruptive, failed miserably for lack of a second.
This attempt at banishment by super-lobbyist Harvey Englander's little nephew, Mitch, failed. Zero support. Not even accomplishing its true objective of intimidation of the particular member of the public speaking at the podium at that time. In reaction, the person insolently refused to cave in to this City Council bullying tactic while bowing to all of the remaining L.A. City Council rules and regulations that are hamstringing public participation.
