DISQUS

The District Weekly: LAURA RICHARDSON DRIVES MOST EXPENSIVE CAR IN THE HOUSE

  • JuanPardell · 1 year ago
    What was done to the Lincoln? Did Laura get custom rims for the tires? Why didn't she call MTV and have the "Pimp My Ride" show do the work for free?

    man this story just keeps getting better!

    In every way Laura is showing herself to be the politicians' preferred
    kind of pol. All these in-your-face events and expensies and shameless
    taxpayers-owe-me perks, like the undisclosed foreclosures and unpaid bills,
    and now the extra-expensive cars - all coupled with Steny Hoyer's special fundraiser for her.

    All these are bearing out what I wrote lately elsewhere, namely:

    With 2020 foresight, it's clear that Laura will be her party's nominee for pres in 2020.

    This story is getting more and more messy.

    Poor Sanchez, who apparently feels responsible to clean up the honey (that is honey, isn't it) that is dripping everywhere out of Richardson's beehive (that is a beehive, isn't it?), while defending his first-crass congresswoman every step of the way. It's a sticky job, but someone's gotta do it.

    I didn't trust here when she sat on Long Beach City Council; always had bad vibes about her. My instincts were correct. She is a power hungry, intitlement driven, teflon coated Democrat, who thinks she is above the law and financial responsibility that we common folk have to abide by.

    Take her Town Car away and give her a Geo. She can customize it, too. Better yet vote her out.

    There are plenty of rumors about town of her calling locals with business before the council and shaking them down, or trying to, for campaign donations before votes. Everything, EVERYTHING, with her was quid pro quo--she sold every vote. The prostitutes in politics are worse than those on PCH and Walnut, when the ones on the street go to work most of us are unaffected. MTV has "Pimp My Ride", CNN should have "Pimp My Vote."

    Give her a Geo? How about make her take the bus. She is a typical Hood Rat...

    I hope you all will keep this in the news along with the other wasteful spending that the politicians do while asking for pay raises

    Everyone should be disgusted by Richardsons defaults on loans and parading around town in an expensive car that we the taxpayers pay for. There are plenty of ordinary people who would like to be able to just pay their mortgage after losing their job or by being pressured into subprime loans by other scrupulous lenders. Anyone that votes for her again should have to put money into a pot to pay for her big car and home loans, not the ones who vote against her. I hope they investigate her to the fullest extent of the law.

    Maybe Laura's next step, while serving in the House, will to apply for food stamps, AFDC, WIC and general welfare relief......after installing oversized chrome spinner rims and gold trim on the Town Car.......

    really want to go around name checking Laura Richardson at this point I bet mentioning her name will get you in really good
