Today's Idiot Democrat

It's a never-ending battle to narrow the list down to only one idiot Democrat, but today's vote goes to L.A. City Council Member Janice Hahn from Los Angeles who is running for Lt. Governor:

Was just talking with LA City Council member/Democratic Lt. Gov candidate Janice Hahn, the chief rival of SF Mayor Gavin Newsom in the Lite Guv race. She's in SF Thursday to rally support for her idea to get 250 U.s. cities to boycott Arizona. Her home LA City Council will vote on her resolution next week that already has seven endorsers.

She lunched with SF Supe David Campos Thursday to see how the state's two powerhouse cities could work this boycott thing out. (And no, she says she's not here to talk endorsements with the supe.)

But isn't a boycott a bit impractical, Janice? More symbolism than anything else?

"Boycotts are more than symbolic," Hahn told us. She then ticked off a list of boycotts --- from apartheid-era South Africa to table grapes in California -- that ultimately proved successful.

So what would you do about a situation that Comrades Cote and Gordon tell us about in San Francisco, where Arizona-based Acumen Fiscal Agency pays 1,929 people employed through Jobs Now. It uses federal stimulus dollars to pay wages when a company hires someone who is unemployed. Human services director Trent Rhorer said his agency couldn't handle the payroll work in-house and he's unsure whether another company could do the work at a similar cost.

Balderdash, says Hahn. There's probably a company in San Francisco that could do that work. In fact, this boycott could actually bring jobs BACK to California, she said.

And what about the cost to break existing contracts with AZ companies?

"I think it is a cost worth taking," Hahn told The Chronicle. "This is such a wrong, racist law. Good people have to be prepared to stand up and take a stand on this.

"When you take bold stands, you sometimes have to accept the consequences," Hahn said.

This is a "bold stand?" What nonsense. This is nothing more than a blatant pander for the Hispanic vote.

Speaking of stupid LA politicians, Daily Jolt offers this:

Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wants his city to boycott Arizona. Accordingly, the Dodgers will refuse to hit any pitches from Diamondbacks pitchers for the remainder of the year.

The Diamondbacks are coming to Los Angeles for a series in the next couple of weeks. I'm sure the heavily Latino Dodger crowds will be respectful and mature...not.
