The front page of today's Los Angeles Times says that Rep. Laura Richardson's home in Sacramento has become an "eyesore." Richardson, D-Long Beach, apparently does not take care of the grounds, and neighbors have been watering and mowing the lawn since she won't hire anyone to do it. Rats have been breeding in the backyard.

"She shows total disregard for everyone in the neighborhood," Sean Padovan, a retired police sergeant, told the Times. "She ought to be embarrassed and ashamed."

Richardson had lost the home in foreclosure but then got it back after filling a dispute with her lender, Washington Mutual. The house had already been sold and the man who bought it sued WaMu. The case was settled.

Richardson declined comment, according to The Times.

I'm not surprised. You should have seen the pig sty she lived in Long Beach, and she actually lived in that mess of garbage! She's not a tidy woman at all!

She is typical trailer trash - just no trailer. Too bad this personifies her entire existence
and political history.
