Whoever did her lips should be sued.

Or be forced to stand in front of her with a baited hook . . .

Can’t believe I admit watching this but Danny Baldwin was on tonight’s episode of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and admitted to having the hots for Janice Dickerson. Someone else called them the auntie and uncle of the show and she may not like it too much in any case but he likes to eat and it shows and is a round goofball so he probably wouldn’t mind. After all this is where the D list celebrities get recycled so at least he’s not in jail. Stephen Baldwin has all the tats and thinks he’s cool. I don’t think he has hots for Janice and would never admit it if he did. Janice does not look good these days. She wants to fix Heidi and Spencer but she should start with herself. Whoever did her lips should be sued.

And then there’s Danny Baldwin, the one who managed to levitage a Hummer 20 feet in the air after crashing into it at 80 MPH on WLA a few years ago, DUI. When he was arrested in Santa Monica a while later he happened to have in his possession some coke which he’d never seen before. Well we all have our “other sibling” or relative, don’t we?

Guava Joe, you could be right. Trutanich is actually a Baldwin. Quelle horreur!

This Carmen Trutanich looks strangely like a Baldwin brother.

Thanks “Susan,” for proving my point.

If you want to talk about “slithering into the office,” that’s your guy alright. I don’t even know who Anderson and Unger are, other than hearing that I’m supposed to be them — but anyone with a modicum of reason sees the facts above for what they are. Clearly “modicum of reason” doesn’t include you since you have admittedly run on nothing but hate — your own blog is a very sad indication of your mental state and obsession with Weiss. The fact that you’ll be working for Trutanich is to be expected and an ever sorrier reflection on him and how he’s run his campaign and bringing to the office.

“Susan’s” remarks are very similar to those posted by Mr. Unger and Mr. Abramson on other blogs. Unger/Abramson are what’s left of Jack Weiss’s campaign staff now that Ace Smith has cashed his last check and gone off to run another ‘hate’ campaign for someone else who has no record to run on, but plenty of money to pay for attack ads and negativity.

“Susan,” “Natalia,” and more often simply “Anonymous” used to post messages like “I’m not sure who I’ll vote for, I don’t know much about either candidate, but I’m leaning towards Jack Weiss.”

Or “I don’t usually post messages late at night but I have to get up to feed my baby every two hours and saw ….”

If trying to fool voters wasn’t so despicably the trademark of Jack Weiss’s campaign, their antics would be laughably transparent. This election really crystalized voters into two distinct camps; those who have had enough of phony photo-op politicians, and those who are bitter partisans.

That Unger/Abramson are seemingly unable to accept the failure of their campaign is regrettable. It shows not only utter contempt for the public – who really need some solid leadership in the City Attorney’s Office, but an unwillingness to accept that the people of Los Angeles have spoken.

In the case of Jack Weiss, they’ve spoken loudly and clearly. Weiss lost by 11.5% , and as the remaining ballots are certified, the margin of loss increases. It wasn’t anywhere near a close election. It was a much needed clarion to the elected officials in our city that the days of Weiss and his ’style’ of politics are over.

Unlike anonymous blogers, I have never hidden my identity, nor failed to make it perfectly clear that my goal in running for City Attorney was to stop Jack Weiss from slithering into the most important elected position in City Hall.

My campaign was never “All about me,” it was about what was best for Los Angeles. When interviewed prior to the election by the LA Weekly, Met News and the Daily Journal, I not only made my position clear, but I also said that if I were not running, I would vote for Trutanich.

I realize that concepts like honesty and integrity are alien to Unger/Abramson, but if think they offend me with their personal attacks, they are wrong. The more offensive they become, the more I take great satisfaction in having been a thorn in their flesh. So, give it your best shot whoever you are.

I’ll make your next attack easy for you. This morning I accepted Carmen Trutanich’s election night offer to join him at the City Attorney’s Office after his swearing in on July 1. There’s no point in trying to convince “Susan”/Unger/Abramson that prior to the May 19, I had no agreement or understanding, because they’ve made their position, bias and hatred very clear.

Celeste, for what it’s worth, I applaud your open mindedness towards our next City Attorney, and I don’t for one moment expect you to simply accept “political-speak and/or good intentions” at face value. I do hope you probe and question. I think you’ll be convinced that the voters made the right choice between the candidates.
