Word of the day: Boob
We're not talking chichis, but people who make spectacular public blunders and then compound them with even more spectacular blunders. That's a boob.
Today's word is in honor of Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo whose mishanding of his misuse of his city car was classic boobery.
After ducking questions for more than a week, City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo admitted Monday that his wife was behind the wheel of his city-assigned SUV and driving with a suspended license when she damaged it in an accident three years ago.
Delgadillo also admitted he allowed taxpayers to foot the bill for $1,222 in repairs to the SUV after the 2004 incident.
His voice cracking with emotion, Delgadillo said he made a mistake and should have been more open about the collision and repairs. Under city policy, family members of employees are not allowed to drive city-assigned vehicles.
