Californication Conniptions Cloud Clinton Coronation

California liberal Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein backs Hillary Clinton's liberal progressive campaign to become president.

Hillary's coronation ceremony didn't go as scripted. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's adulterous affair with Telemundo reporter Mirthala Salinas continued to steal the show. Feinstein exploded when a television reporter Dick Helton asked Clinton how she felt about Villaraigosa endorsing her amid his recently exposed marital infidelity with Telemundo reporter Mirthala Salinas, who happens to be 19 years younger than Villaraigosa:

"Dick Helton, this is Dianne Feinstein. I'm surprised at you for that question! My goodness,'' the senior California senator fumed, as Clinton was heard chuckling in the background. "Hillary's running for president. She doesn't need to get into this!'"

Helton answered that "with all due respect,'' the issue was significant to many voters.

"I echo my friend Dianne's comments,'' Clinton said.

Hillary went on to express her support for the philandering Villaraigosa, just as she did years ago for the philandering President Clinton:

Clinton said she had spoken to Villaraigosa and "his work on many of the issues I care about, I believe, is very significant. So I will continue to welcome his support.''

Villaraigosa serves as a co-chair of Hillary's national campaign.

In case there is any doubt that Hillary is not at all bothered by political adultery, next month San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is also expected to endorse Hillary.

Newsom betrayed his campaign manager Alex Tourk—who was also one of the mayor's best friends—by sleeping with Tourk’s wife. Mayor Newsom was separated at the time of the affair (and later divorced) from television commentator Kimberly Guilfoyle.

According to Newsweek, Feinstein, a former San Francisco mayor, blasted Newsom for the affair, or at least for getting caught:

Big mistake, bad judgment, and he has to deal with that,” she said.

But, like Hillary, Feinstein forgave the philandering. After Newsom pledged to enter rehab, Feinstein decided she could still work with Feinstein:

"I think the mayor will solve his problem,” Feinstein said. “I intend to continue to work with him in any way I can.”

I should probably be more libertarian about the Californication, but the disloyalty to spouses and friends bothers me. How can you ever trust someone who has displayed such disloyalty?

Yep, there's a rehab.

It's called the "I fall on my knees and ask for the Lord's forgiveness." clinic.

I haven't heard that this particular clinic was used for the Mayor(s) and ex-POTUS, but its the only one known to actually work.

I would guess that Diane has finally finished the Bill of Censure she promised the nation almost 10 years ago... When will the Senate vote on it?

Defending male politicians from the wandering zipper seems aa pattern in California and Clinton politics... If its OK for our leaders why does my wife find it objectionable? What's a man to do?

BLIND NAVY VETERAN ACCOMPLISHES THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
The Navy has a tradition of helping their own. Elroy day, a former bubble head has an incredible story to tell. He was blinded in a home invasion in North Carolina in 1995. He recently applied for and was accepted into the Purple Heart Service Foundations job training program to teach him how to become an at home call center agent. Against all odds, working with a disability that would stop most everyone else, he graduated. He completed 600 hours of hard training and now he is reaching out to other blind and vision disabled veterans to tell them about the opportunity that he had. He wants other blind veterans to come and join him. You see, he has a dream of opening a blinded veterans call center. Staffed by former members of the US military who are now blind, for what ever reason. You can help with his dream, just spreading the word. If you know of any veteran who is vision disabled, have them contact Elroy Day immediately . They can email him at eday@carolina.rr.com
And remember, the Navy has a tradition of helping their own.
