• We Defend Barbara Coe--Again!

  Told you it wasn't the CCIR who sent out the letter telling Latinos immigrants can't vote. Turns out the California Attorney General's office fingered Tan Nguyen, who seemed like the ideal Republican congressional candidate--minority, immigrant-hating, and carpet-bagging. Jail time is rumored for the man, who was running against Loretta Sanchez but is now being urged by GOP head Scott Baugh to step down. But we digress. 'Member how an alphabet soup of Latino organizations wrote a letter to U.S

• Tan Nguyen Wants to Have it Both Ways

  Our favorite xenophobic Vietnamese hasn't yet renounced his Republican candidacy for the 47th Congressional District, even though GOP chair Scott Baugh has demanded his resignation and Nguyen blasted Baugh at yesterday's press conference. Yesterday, Nguyen also passed out his latest mailer to the press corps. It urges voters to "Choose the person not the party" and tells 'em "Finally, we don't have to end up voting for the 'lesser of two evils.' Here is the mailer (one page in the original but i

• Rohrabacher, Baugh GOP Operative Charged in Another Man-Boy Sex Case

  Jeffrey Ray Nielsen, a former Washington, D.C. aide to Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (pictured) and OC GOP boss Scott Baugh, was charged Thursday with 10 additional felonies in a second man-boy sex case, according to court records obtained by the Weekly.

• Sunday's Headlines & Surprises: That Sneaky Chuck DeVore

  Doctor No: The public hospital crisis has placed nearly two dozen private hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange counties “in dire financial straits and in danger of bankruptcy or closure,” according to a depressing report in today’s Times. Reporters Daniel Costello and Susannah Rosenblatt found that the local healthcare system is so overburdened that “even a few other hospitals close or reduce costly critical-care services, it could mean longer ambulance rides to hospitals, additional del

• Firecrackers, Rats and Some GOP guy's Mansion

  On a cool evening in the heart of Little Saigon loud firecrackers periodically exploded as Vietnamese Americans celebrated the coming of Tet (Vietnamese New Year) and something that should comfort Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle: the launching of the Year of the Rat. Of course, I'm kidding. According to Wikipedia, “rats can be terribly obstinate and controlling." Pringle is just the opposite: controlling and obstinate. I’d thought of Pringle because as I worked my way through a traffic jam in

• Gay Marriage Foes Find Latino Mouthpieces in OC

  Where should a conspicuously anti-family, anti-civil rights, anti-gay marriage political “coalition” go when it's looking for Latinos to sound alarms and corral other Latinos to vote for their anti-gay marriage proposition in November? None other than Orange County, of course, where hatred doesn't merely extend to those who are Mexican among us. The defenders of Prop 8., known as ProtectMarriage.com, pulled their first gay-marriage-bashing Latino out for show on Saturday, a day after the

  State GOP chairman Ron Nehring: "Lease, don't buy..." The state GOP's "Victory Night Party" (hah!) was over before it started. Driving over to the Hyatt Regency Irvine to make the 8:30 p.m. start time, I was talking on my Bluetooth to my brother in San Francisco when he informed me John McCain was already making his concession speech. "Holy shit!" I said as I steered into the Hyatt driveway. "I'm going to miss the Republicans crying in their beers." The mood was definitely somber inside the

  Assemblyman Mike Duvall apparently heeded a powerful call for his resignation.​Several media outlets are reporting that Assemblyman Michael D. Duvall (R-Yorba Linda) has resigned amid the scandal uncovered last night by OC Weekly and KCBS/KCAL about his inadvertent admissions of adultery with a utility lobbyist.Duvall--vice chairman of the powerful Committee on Utilities & Commerce--trotted onto the state Assembly floor this morning with his game face on. It was the look of a man trying to

  Dean of state Assembly speakers Wille BrownIf Mike Duvall took his marching orders from Willie Brown instead of Scott Baugh, the disgraced Yorba Linda Republican would still be a member of the state Assembly. Baugh, chairman of the Orange County GOP, immediately called on Duvall to resign amid the sex-with-lobbyists scandal, and Duvall dutifully obliged. But Brown, the liberal dean of California state Assembly speakers, says, "Republican Assemblyman Mike 'Spanky' Duvall's decision to
