Imagine their non-embarrassment when one of their number brightly remembered that no, Retread Ramon Cortines had not died. He just had not spoken in awhile.
How alive and alert he is is not likely to be determined before next Ramadan.
Last seen publicly, the 82-year-old was, of all things, involved in a morals case.
This easily makes him the sexiest and most desirable candidate to officially replace the canned John Deasy as super of the anti-education LAUSD zoo.
A man of no ideas old or new, his almost century-long resume reflects two fewer accomplishments than ideas.

Obviously the complaint packed juice. The uniquely wise Katzenjammer Kids, who grew up to become the LAUSD School Board, voted a cool $200,000 – nearly a year’s pay for some teachers — to the hot non-chick whom Retread Ray had harassed and then evidently dropped like a non-hot non-chick.
With Retread Ray back at the wheel this afternoon, the state of public education in Los Angeles more closely parallels the Islamic State than it does an institution of mighty low learning.
With Ding-Dog Alex Caputo-Pearl running the Los Angeles branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, sometimes called the Teachers Union, Retread Ray should have gone to IHOP today for lunch. By ordering a stack of hot cakes – not to be confused with a non-hot non-chick – he could see what the contours of his aging body will look like after Ding Dong lays him out for public viewing on the nearest ironing board.
