• Sanchez: Whore or not? Colbert decides.

  Truthy and hard-hitting as ever, last night Stephen Colbert took on the burning question: is OC Congressional Rep. Loretta Sanchez a whore? You can find his answer (no) here. Look for Last Night's Highlights, and scroll down to California Values Watch: Sanchez. Those interested in Stephen's answer and his explanation of how the question started burning in the first place-- as well as those who want to know which Hilton sister Sanchez is most like-- better hurry. The video's available at the

  Wrong side of the Street: Everyone and his mother is nagging OC Treasurer Chriss Street to step down in the midst of federal and local probes. (C'mon, even temporarily? asks the LAT's Dana Parsons.) But nu-uh, no-way, no-how, Street told reporters yesterday, handing them a 3-inch-thick binder filled with "facts" he believes the media should be reporting to clear his name. Patrick Desmond, who ran against Street last year, is crossing his fingers. More Sanchez protests: Earlier in the month, six

• Sanchez Returns From Vietnam?

  Amid gifts of flowers, hand-made placards and shouts of "We love you Loretta!" from a crowd of approximately 20 people, Rep. Loretta Sanchez--Orange County's lone Democratic voice in Congress--returned from a trip to Vietnam. A website, perhaps tied to Sanchez, has posted a video of her arrival celebration at Los Angeles International Airport. You can see it here. Details of her trip aren't yet know. Hell, I didn't even know she was gone. Communist Party officials, who govern Vietnam, haven'

• Saturday's Headlines & Surprises: A Sanchez Cookbook!

  Police State: Politicians of both major political parties who are frightened by police unions have written laws that give police incredibly wide latitude to use force against citizens and keep their own wrongdoings secret. And, of course, police departments routinely grab even more power for themselves. Case in point: buried in a Los Angeles Times article this morning on police misconduct at a MacArthur Park immigration protest was a jewel straight out of a Philip K. Dick novel. In 1996, LAPD w

• How did Loretta Sanchez spend her Sunday?

  While the rest of Orange County hit the beach today or watched the San Diego Chargers upset the Colts (Yes!), Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez showed one reason why she keeps winning elections and annoying the local Republican Party. A clipboard-toting Sanchez--and three accompanying aides--registered new voters in her district that's gerrymandered through Santa Ana, Anaheim and Garden Grove. Wearing black pants and a red and white striped rugby shirt not befitting the 80 degree SoCal heat, our co

• Women Beater Aids Steve Young's Campaign?

  Relax. It's not what it seems. New campaign-finance disclosure reports filed today in Washington, D.C., show that Irvine attorney Steve Young, a Democrat, has collected an impressive amount of contributions in his uphill bid to unseat Representative John Campbell. Included in the $64,555 Young (pictured) has raised since July was a $2,300 contribution from Jason Luna, the San Diego man who beat 100 women earlier this year to become the first million-dollar winner on NBC's 1 vs. 100.

• Loretta Sanchez a Hypocritical Aztlanista

  On my KPFK-FM 90.7 radio show this Tuesday, I interviewed a member of the Orange County Dream Team, a group of undocumented college students. This past Saturday, they and other supporters met with Congresswomen Loretta Sanchez, seeking her co-sponsorship of the DREAM Act, which would create a path to citizenship for college students who have lived in this country illegally for years. You'd figure Loretta--who owes her career to illegals, from the days of Hermandad Mexicana Nacional to Tan Nguyen

  Busty: More liberal than Loretta?​Only in the Bizarro world that is Orange County Latino politics can you have a brownie Republican be more Aztlanista than a brownie Dem, yet that's what happened last week. In a symbolic resolution, the SanTana City Council expressed their support for the DREAM Act, which seeks to legalize hundreds of thousands of illegal youngsters (not just Mexicans, by the way) in this country. The vote was 5-0, and I initially assumed that the two absent members were Mayor
