Yup, dumb as blinds----he's correct on this one, probably his only one.
“I’m amazed that the president would make this (announcement) on national TV and not inform us of these details through the appropriate channels,” the mayor told The Associated Press. “I don’t expect a call from the president _ but somebody.”
The reason why the President did not call LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is because Villaraigosa was NOT Mayor of Los Angeles till 3 years AFTER the the planned Incident and 2 years AFTER the Terrorist was arrested.
Villaraigosa was elected mayor of Los Angeles in a run-off election on May 17, 2005, in which he defeated incumbent mayor James Hahn. Prior to that, he was a state Assemblyman for the 45th district, the Speaker of the California State Assembly, and the Los Angeles City Councilman representing the 14th District.
in 2002, Villaraigosa was embroiled in a sucession movement by Hollywood and the San Bernadino vally and was smoozing left-wing doners to pony up to the bar and pay for his run for City Councilman of the 14th District in preparation to run a second time for mayor after a failed attempt in 2001.
The President of the United States, nor is Homeland security going to call some unknown political Assemblyman or Councilman and inform them of pre-empted attacks on the city, the President and Homeland Security will Call the Governer, the State Emergency people, and possibly the Mayor of the city if warranted..
So Mayor Villaraigosa can show as much “Amazement” and “Astonishment” and whatever else that will get his name in the news all he wants. But People know BS when they see it..
Especially Left-Wing BS.
The mayor of LA has an over estimation of his importance.
LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
Is he a clone of Mayor Nagin of NO?
((PING))
Since Feinswein said she knew all about it, why doesn't the Mayor complain about no communication from his senators.
Northridge Earthquake occurred on January 17, 1994
I have a funny feeling that when this all shakes out the nonexistent communication will be between the mayor and his aide who took the White House call.
What an idiot this guy must be. He is just demonstrating why Democrats cannot be trusted with national security. If he had been paying any attention at all, he would have known about this plot and asked proper questions. The man obviously had no interest and was completely out of his depth on the subject.
How very interesting. Perhaps you should share it with Brit Hume so he can set the record straight.
Isn't it amazing that even though GWBush protects LA night and day, he's still to blame for something. Anything. Everything.
UM.
I'm filing this story away in my collection entitled "The Folder I Send to People Who Doubt the Media's Left-Wing Bias."
This is absolutely appalling.
Don't worry about it Mayor...we wre all blindsided on 9-11. So, what's your point????
obviously the mayor doesn't think L.A. is part of the United States.
Maybe they didn't think he could be trusted to keep his mouth shut until the President made the information public. Pretty safe bet.
You know, the liberals really do not grasp the concept that they too are the enemy.
He is giving a press conference on Fox right now. [My TV is on mute, however]
I guess the Libs think they have another club to bash Bush with.
I got to taunt Villareallygrossa at the Chinese New Years parade on Saturday. He just oozes slime.
Well, good. They found a way to report this story of deflected terrorism and STILL make Bush look bad. So fresh and unpredictable!

Yep.
