In April 2015 the Irvine politician announced his candidacy to be our political lord and master in north Orange County. In July 2015 he bought a house in Fullerton and registered to vote at that address.
Well, news flash Sukhee and all you political frontrunners who are supporting his unethical carpetbaggery.
The message couldn’t be more clear
The address was somewhere in Fullerton. Everything else was kinda fuzzy…
The Fullerton Rag blog has called out the carpetbaggin’ former Mayor of Irvine Sukhee Kang for…carpetbaggin.’ They also point out the disgusting lock step endorsements of the Dem party apparatus whose members couldn’t care less that Sukhee Kang moved here to run for office, and just as bad, left a stinking pile of a disaster in Irvine.
Here’s my favorite quotation:
Mr. Kang’s website displays a list of Democratic Party endorsements longer than the distance between his former home in Irvine and our 29th District.
The Rag also points out, quite accurately, that Sharon Quirk Silva has endorsed this pathetic career politician wannabe. In 2014 she denounced her Assembly opponent as – you guessed it – a carpetbagger! Well, we’re used to shameless hipocrisy in pea-brained politician but that really takes the cake.
What do you mean there’s a place called Fullerton?
Some commenters here have wondered how a nobody like Sukhee Kang, well, worse than a nobody – an incompetent nobody with a disastrous record as a politician in a whole other part of the County – could get a bunch of endorsements from his fellow Democrats to run for office in north OC.
Here’s how it works: Sukhee gets in bed early with a politically ambitious Democant big shot, like say, State Senator Kevin de Leon, who is already running for his Next Big Job. Most likely Sukhee has pay some sort of monetary tribute to de Leon to buy his support, because you always look for the cash nexus in politics.
And now The Word comes down from On High in Sacramento that Sukhee is The Man. And not for a single, solitary reason anybody can be proud about. Small fry like Quirk and Correa, and even smallest fry like Galloway and Brandman get on board because they can see that bucking de Leon & Co. is going to be dangerous, maybe fatal to their once and future plans.
Anyway, they don’t care at all about the ethics of carpetbagging because they have done, or may likely do it themselves someday, and really, what’s the harm so long as their own ambitions are gratified?
Political insiders have no qualms about carpetbagging, or even the intelligence and competence of candidates. These things don’t matter to the class of political chatterers; Hell, they don’t even hold it against the other party’s candidates when they do it. What matters is the Main Chance and the ability to maybe catch the ride before a train leaves the station.
In 2009 just about every Republican office holder and insider backed the ridiculous Assembly scampaign of Linda Ackerman, whose suit was stuffed with lobbyist bucks and very little else. I can’t remember any of them that didn’t endorse the wretched carpetbagtress.
In 2010 the Democrat’s Lorraine Galloway pretended to move into a County Supervisor district. She not only faked an address, she faked THREE. Any round condemnation from the party? Of course not. Why? For awhile she was seen as a plausible candidate, instead of a featherhead with the intelligence of one of the stuffed animals she keeps on her bed.
And now in 2016 we have Sukhee Kang, the former Irvine mayor whose political appetites could no longer be satisfied there due to the inescapable facts of the Great Park disaster. So instead he and the Democratic Party apparatus cynically decide to foist this miscreant on us as a way to mine Korean votes in a district that is currently held by a Republican.
Who cares? Not Lou Correa. Not Sharon Quicksilver. They sold out quite some time ago. But we care and are eager to spread the gospel.
Fullerton? Why yes, I’ve heard of it…
I’ve heard on the grapevine that Democrat Party loyalists are mad at Fullerton’s Josh Newman for having the effrontery to run for State Senate against their hand-picked carpetbagger, Sukhee Kang, recently Mayor of Irvine and waster of over 200 million doubloons on the Great Park, that isn’t great, and isn’t a park, either.
Apparently, these party apparatchiks have been trying their level best to torpedo Newman’s campaign. That’s pretty unfair and mean, but these people are not without their humorous side. For instance, their plaint: why doesn’t this Newman guy run for Fullerton City Council? – as if that were some sort of obligatory stepping stone for a politician to take.
Well, that’s nonsense of course, but it got me a-thinkin’. Why doesn’t Sukhee Kang, the Irvine Escapee, who moved into Fullerton a mere 8 months ago, run for the Fullerton City Council? I mean, here’s a stooge who knows nothing about north Orange Country except that he seems to think we are ripe for his political plucking. Shouldn’t he be starting on the lowest rung?
The answer, of course, springs readily to mind: Sad Sack Sukhee couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Fullerton because nobody knows who the hell he is and he has zero record of community service here. And yet somehow Democrat party fixers and bag men in Sacramento think he’s fit to represent us in the Legislature.
Although he hadn’t really been away very long.
Last month the Democratic Foundation of OC held a luncheon for our old carpetbaggin’ pal at the Irvine Hilton. This group of worthies seems to find nothing stinky about honoring a carpetbagger with a disastrous record. Maybe being a Democrat in OC raises the disgraced politician above that disgrace – at least in the minds of the party hacks.
I don’t know.
But I do know that almost nobody showed up, unless we are really seeing local Dems dressed up like empty chairs and uneaten plates of salad.
They stayed away in droves.
Who knows? Maybe there’s hope for the Democrats yet, although their leaders don’t seem to be getting the message.
That’s what we do…
A while back, when Sukhee Kang was Mayor of Irvine – a city not in our State Senate district – he was caught disclosing sensitive information to the “Great Park” housing developer, going behind the backs of his colleagues.
Here’s an article that tells about it.
This was particularly embarrassing because at the time Sukhee was running for Congress, of and not in our congressional district, naturally.
Now why would The Suke start blabbing inside info to the developer the City of Irvine was negotiating with? Hmm anybody else smell a rat?
And why does this idiot believe he can pop up in north Orange County and pretend we are going to forget all about his corrupt, incompetent past?
“He can’t even speak English well. How can he govern the State of California?”
Thus spake Sukhee Kang in 2003 about soon-to-be elected governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, at a rally for the utterly corrupt soon-to-be ex-governor, Gray Davis.
Forget, for a moment, of Sukhee Kang’s pimping himself for the disgraced, pay-to-play governor. Rather, remember Sukhee’s own words form his Great Park deposition, here, as he fell back on his own weak English ability to justify having his City speeches written, um, grammar checked, by the SAME no-bid, fixed fee PR contractor from the Great Park – Stu Mollrich:
Now, consider that grammatical gem, for a moment or two.
Are we justified in saying: he says he can’t comprehend English well enough to competently govern Irvine; how can he be an effective member of the State Legislature?
Kangaroos are well-known creatures that hop from one place to another, presumably in search of greener grass, elsewhere.
No, I will not tell you what is in my pouch…
Sukhee Kang is a political kangaroo, hopping out of Irvine when he realized that the mess he made there as Larry Agran’s hapless, bobblehead third vote would never be forgotten.
And so Kang has hopped into the the 29th State Senate District where he hopes to Hell that the voters here never find out about what he did in Irvine, or that he has lived here only a scant seven months.
And that’s a Kangaroo.
We all know the type – the candidate who can’t lose, the one whose early endorsements and cash grabbing have made their scampaigns irresistible. They simply can’t lose.
More often than not their candidacies are little more than empty sloganeering. That’s because these folks don’t want to actually offend anybody by talking about a real issue or problem. Rather, they go on about their devotion to party dogma – that very party that has decided that their boy (or girl) has the stamp of official imprimatur.
Here’s one of the species:
And here’s another:
What do you mean there’s a place called Fullerton?
We are supposed to accept these empty suits because of their very inevitability – not because they stand for anything other than their own self-advancement.
Sukhee Kang moved into our State Senate district barely seven months ago to represent us in Sacramento. Before that he left a trail of disasters behind him as Larry Agran’s bobblehead pigeon on the Irvine City Council, whose majority squandered and stole hundreds of millions on an alleged “Great Park.”
But the Democrat Party establishment has ordained that the disgraced Sukhee, despite his carpetbagging, and despite his utter leadership failure in Irvine, must be the party standard bearer. Apart from the cynical scheme to harvest Asian votes ( a dubious enterprise at best, anyhow), the only other rationale is that Sukhee is the Man.
