Performance Is Beside The Point
-
I've rarely seen a politician able to cloud people's minds like Antonio Villaraigosa, the outgoing Mayor of Los Angeles. Despite a horrific performance -- financial disaster, cutbacks in city services, a school system that's terrible, spending on projects nobody wants -- and personal scandal like dumping his wife for an affair with a TV newswoman, and taking free tickets to every possible event -- a poll shows a majority of L.A. residents approve of him. It does break along ethnic and party lines, but, still, he's been awful, and the voters still like him. Unbelievable. (Los Angeles Times)
