Me and Antonio
A few months, back, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa came in for two editorial board meetings in what seemed to be as many weeks. I know this because the path for political candidates through the Daily News newsroom goes literally (if not figuratively) right past my desk.
The second time through, I said something like, "See you next week." The mayor had some kind of snappy comeback -- he's a snappy-comeback kind of guy, but I'm sorry to say it eludes me at the moment. At least he had a comeback (and his goons didn't tackle me -- trust me, they all have goons, but Arnold's are bigger).
Since then, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been here but didn't come upstairs, and yesterday I saw former Gov. Jerry Brown going up the stairway with an entourage of one. Him and one other person, to be exact. That's traveling light. Kudos to the current Oakland mayor and state attorney general candidate.
But I miss Antonio. Where you been, bro?
