● This morning’s LA Times reports that OC supervisorial candidate Trung Nguyen has been seen where he ain’t, and that’s a problem: O.C. candidate has serious image problem:
The campaign of an Orange County supervisorial candidate, whose slogan is "Honesty, Integrity and Leadership," has been caught doctoring a photo so that it places the politician close to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The photo into which Trung Nguyen was inserted appeared over the weekend in two Vietnamese-language daily newspapers, Vien Dong and Viet Bao Kinh Te. The papers are heavily circulated in Little Saigon, home to the largest Vietnamese community outside Southeast Asia.
Nguyen's campaign variously blamed the alteration on an advertising company and a volunteer.
● Meanwhile, on the “Fuentes’ World” front, former Mike Carona pal George Jaramillo has been sentenced to a year in jail: Jaramillo to serve year in jail:
Former Assistant Sheriff George Jaramillo stood somberly before a judge Monday and ended nearly three years of defending himself against public corruption charges with two words: "no contest."Both the Reg (see article) and the Times (see Ex-sheriff's official gets a year in jail) offer nifty timelines of Jaramillo’s public career.
Gee, I wonder what got swept under the rug?
