DEPUTY D.A. ALAN JACKSON CAUGHT LYING ABOUT PETE WILSON ENDORSEMENT

One of these will work.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

District Attorney candidate Alan "Jacko" Jackson has been caught lying about receiving the endorsement of former California Governor Pete Wilson.  The Dragnet can report to you that this was all a bald face hoax!!!

The alleged endorsement was first broken on Deputy D.A. David Berger's blog, Los Angeles Dragnet on December 12, 2011.  Since then, there has been no formal announcement from Wilson, and no formal press release has been posted on the Jackson campaign website. Obviously, an endorsement from someone as prominent as Pete Wilson would've been posted as soon as it happened, and certainly through a more respectable outlet than David Berger's blog, which has been shown time and again to post false information. But in one month, nothing. No quote from Pete and no official announcement from the campaign.

Word inside the District Attorney's office is that as soon as Steve Cooley heard about the potential endorsement, he put a stop to it. He told Pete Wilson, under no uncertain terms, "Alan Jackson is a loser and you will just be endorsing another loser. Keep your powder dry."

Knowing this story was going to break, the Jackson campaign has been in damage mode all day long, hoping to lessen the impact. When Jackson campaign manager John Thomas was reached on the phone, and confronted with this information, he slammed down the phone. Sources have said the Jackson campaign has been calling their key supporters begging them not to jump ship once this information surfaces.

A source inside the campaign of Mario Trujillo laughed when they heard the news, and replied "Figures." Our phone calls to the prospective campaign of Los Angeles City Attorney, Carmen Trutanich were not returned.  Neither was our call to the Jackie Lacey campaign.

Dragnet L.A. will get to the bottom of this poop. Stay tuned!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Just back from a nice two week vacation on the Hawaiian Islands.

Thanks for all the hot tips everyone sent over the holidays. We’re investigating all of them and hope to be reporting on many of them in the coming days.

Just finished watching that freak show otherwise known as the Republican Debates.

The more these knuckleheads talk, the more President Obama’s numbers go up.

It seems the America public is getting an up close view of what these extremist wackos are all about, and running back to support the President in droves.

Has-been Mitt Romney can’t seem to crack the 25% mark.  In the Iowa Caucus he received a few less votes than that other has-been, Rick Santorum. *For fun, Google the word “Santorum”

All the newspapers in New Hampshire have endorsed everyone but Romney.  However, Romney was endorsed by Christine “I am not a witch” O’Donnell. She said, “Mitt Romney has been consistent since he changed his position on every issue.” So there! Can’t beat that endorsement.

Thankfully there weren’t any major headlines while we were away, except maybe “The Hollywood Arsonist. *We’ve already trademarked the name. 

Fire department furlough day

Several Deputy D.A.’s had to suspend their campaigns long enough to get back to work, and file papers against the man-child accused of these crimes.

Steve Cooley had to put down the booze, and sober up long enough to grandstand for the cameras and make sure the public could notice the similarities between him and the main-child. They’re both chubby, confused, glassy-eyed, etc etc.  I mean, if the shoe fits, which I’m sure it doesn’t……..

I won! Goodnight.

P.S. Expect Steve Cooley to declare victory in the District Attorney’s race any day now.  That’s right, you read it correctly. Once again, against the advice of his political consultants, he will probably down a couple of belts and publicly declare victory in the District Attorney’s race, similar to how he did it in the Attorney General’s race. This will not be good news for Jackie Lacey, Mario Trujillo or Deputy D.A. Alan “Jacko” Jackson, who’s still clearing the dung off his face after getting the Pete Wilson endorsement.  Cooley seems hell-bent on crushing Mario Trujillo and Alan Jackson’s campaigns any way he knows how. One would think sending Jacko Pete Wilson and John Thomas would do the trick, but Cooley wants to “finish him off” as Tony Soprano used to say.



That's the guy who ruined my campaign!

And speaking of John Thomas, it looks like his other big client, Kevin James has qualified for matching funds while we were away.

Well, whoop dee dew dah.!  Que the band! Stop the presses! Is this really BIG NEWS?



Thank you, but I'm not suppose to take checks on City property.

Kevin’s a good guy and could probably do a better job than the current occupant of the Mayor’s office, but right now his chances of qualifying for the run-off are slim to none.

Sure, he just passed the $150,000 mark in campaign contributions, however that only amounts to approximately $50,000 in cash on hand.  Considering the other candidates Eric Garcetti, Wendy Greuel, and Jan Perry have raised over $1,000,000, and Austin Beutner can write himself a $5,000,000 dollar check, Kevin has a lot of catching up to do.

Those who enjoy political debates for entertainment purposes will enjoy Kevin debating all the City Hall insiders.  We wish him luck, and hope for his sake, he gets more votes than Zuma Dogg.

I'm a legend. Just ask me.

Also, it seems while we were away, the Occupy L.A. folks have gone from complaining that L.A. City Attorney Carmen Trutanich has put too much energy into prosecuting them, to now complaining that he’s not putting enough energy into prosecuting them. They need to make up their mind. They’ve gone from protesting financial inequity caused by Wall Street and the major banks, to whimpering about being arrested and having to go through the judicial process.  I hope Trutanich sentences these fools to watching a full episode of the TV show “Barretta”, and then making them write a hundred times on a chalkboard, “DON’T DO THE CRIME, IF YOU CAN’T DO THE TIME”, and keep your eyyyyyyyyyyeeee on the sparrow……...

and dats da name of dat tune!

Alan Jackson seals his fate

Nobody move or the dipshit gets it.

Champagne corks must’ve been popping at the campaign offices of Mario Trujillo, Jackie Lacey and Carmen Trutanich when they received the news that the Alan Jackson for District Attorney campaign (recently noted for running one of the dumbest campaigns in recent memory) announced that it had received the endorsement of former California Governor Pete Wilson. As one campaign manager on a competing campaign put it, "Too bad for Alan Jackson. This poor guy can’t catch a break."

See, an analysis of Pete Wilson’s endorsement record, put out by someone close to a competing campaign for D.A., (that’s not yet a campaign) pointed out that every candidate Petey’s endorsed in the last fifteen years, has lost.  Take a look at Wilson's recent track record:

Dan Lungren – 1998 race for Governor – LOST

Bill Simon – 2002 race for Governor – LOST

Bill Jones – 2004 U.S. Senate Race - LOST

Rudy Giuliani – 2008 race for Repub Pres nomination – LOST

John McCain – 2008 race for President – LOST

*Meg Whitman – 2010 race for Governor - LOST

*Steve Cooley  - 2010 race for Attorney General - LOST

(*) denotes Petey was a Campaign co-chairman

Bottom line - A Pete Wilson endorsement is almost a guarantee a candidate will lose. Republicans in California call it “The curse of Pete Wilson.”

Where did this curse get started?  Well, back in 1994, Californians voted on Proposition 187, which banned illegal aliens from public services like health and education. That changed California politics forever. Republican governor Pete Wilson, who strongly supported the measure, became the symbol of what was--and still is--considered a vehemently anti-immigrant party. This, in a state where Hispanics are becoming a critical voting bloc, with more members joining their ranks every day.

Gaddi Vasquez, a Hispanic stalwart of the Orange County Republican Party, observed recently that “Pete Wilson had destroyed the Republican Party in California among Hispanic voters.”

Linda DiVall, a Republican pollster, remarked, "I don't know how any Republican thinks they can win in California when they’re associated with Pete Wilson. Most members of my party don't get it. They figure by throwing out a few sops they can overcome this hostility. Not even close.”

Take a look at Meg Whitman's recent campaign. True, she opened a few offices in Hispanic neighborhoods. But who was her campaign chairman? Pete Wilson. In some parts of the state, she might as well have been endorsed by Satan, while running for the papacy.

How can Republicans reverse this? “Well, one way would be to steer clear of Pete Wilson, for starters.”

Unfortunately, it looks like poor Alan Jackson is walking down the same path to loserdom as so many staunch Republicans before him. What’s next, a Sarah Palin endorsement? Let me hear your thoughts.
