GUEST COLUMN: Blogger John Walsh’s ‘Anybody But Garcetti’ Report on Wednesday Night’s Hollywood Mayoral Debate

By JOHN WALSH HollywoodHighlands.org

"BLOGGER ASKS MAYORAL CANDIDATE ERIC GARCETTI TO QUICKLY APOLOGIZE FOR SARCASTIC JOKE AIMED AT MODERATOR MS. TRACI SAVAGE'S MOTHER DURING TONIGHT'S OTHERWISE UNEVENTFUL MAYORAL DEBATE! 

THIS “ANYBODY BUT GARCETTI FOR MAYOR” BLOGGER ALONG WITH MOST OF THE MAYORAL DEBATE AUDIENCE WERE APPALLED TONIGHT AT COUNCILMAN GARCETTI’S UNSCRIPTED SEXIST REMARK MADE AT THE EXPENSE OF MODERATOR TRACI SAVAGE’S SENIOR CITIZEN MOTHER WHO SAT MORTIFIED IN THE TAGLYAN BALLROOM IN HOLLYWOOD WHILE A DOZEN NEWS CAMERAS RECORDED THIS UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED: EVERYONE AGREES THAT NEWS REPORTER MS. SAVAGE FAMOUS FOR REFUSING TO BE INTIMIDATED BY JUDGE ITO’S THREATS TO JAIL HER FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT DURING THE O.J. TRIAL WAS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE TO MODERATE THIS FIRST MAYORAL DEBATE AMONG THE FRONT RUNNING CANDIDATES.

MS. TRACI SAVAGE DURING HER OPENING REMARKS PROUDLY INTRODUCED HER MOTHER JUDY SAVAGE SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE,MENTIONING THAT JUDY RAN A SUCCESSFUL CHILDREN’S TALENT AGENCY FOR MANY YEARS LOCATED NEAR THE SITE OF TONIGHT’S DEBATE ON VINE STREET.

SHORTLY THEREAFTER ,WHEN COUNCILMAN GARCETTI’S TURN TO FIRST ADDRESS THE DEBATE AUDIENCE ARRIVED, THE L.A. CITY COUNCILMAN AND CURRENT MAYORAL CANDIDATE QUICKLY WANDERED OFF TOPIC TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AND THE ASSEMBLED MEDIA THAT TRACI SAVAGE’S MOTHER HAD ACTUALLY BEEN HIS TALENT AGENT FOR A TIME DURING ERIC’S CHILD ACTING DAYS.

THEN ERIC ADDED IN A POOR ATTEMPT AT SUPPOSED HUMOR THAT TRACI SAVAGE’S MOTHER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEVER GETTING HIM A JOB , CAUSING HER PROUD DAUGHTER TO FLINCH NOTICEABLY AT THE PODIUM ON STAGE DUE TO THIS INSENSITIVE REMARK.

IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT HER RETIRED MOTHER JUDY ,THE BUTT OF ERIC’S SOMEWHAT NASTY JOKE(WHETHER INTENDED OR NOT) IS NOW IN HER SEVENTIES AND WAS IN THE AUDIENCE TO EXPERIENCE ACUTE EMBARRASSMENT.

WAS ERIC HARBORING A GRUDGE OVER THESE MANY YEARS ? WHY BLAME HIS AGENT DECADES LATER FOR WHAT WAS HIS OWN FAULT AFTER ALL? EVERYONE IN SHOW BUSINESS IS AWARE THAT AGENTS DON’T OBTAIN JOBS FOR CLIENTS. AGENTS CAN ONLY OBTAIN INTERVIEWS AND AUDITIONS. THE CLIENT MUST DO THE REST!

WHY IS GARCETTI STILL BLAMING HIS AGENT OF DECADES AGO FOR FAILING TO LAND HIM A SINGLE ACTING GIG? SHOULDN’T GARCETTI BLAME HIMSELF?

WHAT KIND OF MAYOR WOULD ERIC MAKE WHEN HE REVEALS SUCH A CHARACTER FLAW? THE NEWS CAMERAS SHOW ERIC SMIRKING AT HIS OWN SAD ATTEMPT AT HUMOR WHICH WAS GREETED BY AN EMBARRASSED TITTER FROM THE AUDIENCE OF HUNDREDS IN AN EVENT SPONSORED BY THE HOLLYWOOD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WHICH OTHERWISE WAS ADMIRABLY CONDUCTED WITHOUT A HITCH!

AFTER THE MAYORAL DEBATE’S FORMAL CONCLUSION, ERIC BEAT A HASTY RETREAT FROM THE BUILDING, SKIPPING MOST OF THE MEET AND GREET PERIOD SCHEDULED BY THE HOLLYWOOD CHAMBER TO CAP OFF THIS SUCCESSFUL EVENT.

THE FORMAL PROCEEDINGS CONCLUDED AT ABOUT 7:30P.M. AND THE INCUMBENT COUNCILMAN FOR HOLLYWOOD WAS OUT THE DOOR BY 7::44 PM (WITH TWO PLAINCLOTHES LAPD OFFICERS AT HIS SIDE) BEFORE ANY REPORTER MIGHT QUESTION HIM IN THE TAGLYAN FOYER ABOUT HIS EARLIER HIGHLY INSENSITIVE PERSONAL REMARK.

IN STARK CONTRAST, THE OTHER THREE DEBATE PARTICIPANTS HAPPILY REMAINED TO MEET AND GREET AUDIENCE MEMBERS FOR SOME TIME AFTER ERIC GARCETTI’S ABRUPT DEPARTURE FROM THE PREMISES. ”

  1. Sounds like he had a Romney moment.

    Seriously, though – it is important that the 3 insider candidates carve up the votes enough so that Kevin James has a shot at making the runoff. That’s the best we can hope for, and it is a long shot at that.

  2. Wayne from the most corrupt City ever says:

    JOHN WALSH IS THE EXPERT ON ALL THAT GOES ON IN HOLLYWOOD. GARSLUTTI CAN FORGET BEING MAYOR WITH THIS KIND OF WATCHDOG ON HIS TAIL! On KRLA, KEVIN JAMES WAS NAMED “A LEADING CANDIDATE” FOR MAYOR! Stu Berger of KRLA and Larry Marino of KRLA have the class and loyalty to Kevin to give him coverage in this near-impossible run for Mayor. There’s just so many millions of dollars from the 75 major campaign donors and Billions of lies coming out of the pie-holes of Garslutti, Cruel-Greul, and Hamburger-Perry that Kevin (who is the ONLY possible choice running that has a shred of qualifications for the job) that Kevin will have to do EVERYTHING WALTER MOORE did AND DOUBLE IT ALL to just HOPE for a run-off. KEVIN WOULD EASILY WIN A RUN-OFF AGAINST THE OTHER 3 liars, cheats, whores, and con-artists. I say this because Walter would of won vs. Villa-re-dumb-ass.
    It was my hope that Kevin would of been a CITY ATTORNEY CANDIDATE running vs. Carmen “the whore” Dumbtanich—it would of been a nasty but awesome run-off which Kevin would of won by 10%!!!
    As for Walsh: HE REALLY ENJOYS LIVING IN HOLLYWOOD and WANTS TO SEE GARSLUTTI KICKED OUT OF CITY HALL. John deserves this victory—SO I’LL STAY IN L.A. JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE—-TO VOTE OUT GARSLUTTI AND DUMBTANICH (and the CD3 FINK SCUMBAG WHO WE ALL KNOW IS BEHIND 2 JOBBOB. My vote with 9% estimated turnout is POWERFUL. All of you reading this—PRICELESS! Do it for John Walsh—He MERITS IT.

  3. Rev. Annette Saint John Lawrence says:

    Talk about a pot calling the kettle black!! This entire blog that showed up on my screen when I hit a wrong key as filled with the darkside of your self, and those who joined in.
    The very fact that is all so dark an attack on Counsil Member Garcetti, speaks volumes a about that which you hate about yourselves and instead of examining the reasons for your hatred you cast it on others. You might do well to remember that when you point a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you. The writer of this article and the two who commented apparently live your lives “throwing out the baby with the bath water”. There is one person running for Mayor that I do not think highly of but I would never stoop to the below the lowest common denominator as you three. Wayne sounds like a killer waiting for his prey.

  4. Sierra says:

    There is no “hate” in what Mr. Walsh has written. He was there and are accurately reported a tasteless joke that Garcetti tried. Should he keep quiet about it?

    Telling the truth about a candidate is not hateful, its a breath of fresh air in a City in which incumbents and those with big money such as Rick Caruso get favorable coverage and those without funds get ignored.

  5. Ricardo says:

    Rev if you really are one sounds like a Garcetti supporter. WE who post on here are expressing our 1st amendment rights to say how upset we are at the current politicians in office who have ruined our City. If you read your Bible it states that the Lord is says people need to stand up for what is Right and that’s what we are doing. The politicians are the least spiritual people on the face of this earth. They are selfish, greedy, corrupt and only think of themselves. That my friend is what you should be posting about since you are a reverend or pretending to be one.

  6. Luis Velasquez says:

    Garcetti..Never care about Senior Citizens.A high price to pay with the senior vote.
