Sukhee Kang Watch

Our little blog was scarcely a few days old when we lamented the absence of a Democrat opponent for the carpetbagging Sukhee Kang, recent resident of Irvine who decided he was willing and able to represent us in State Senate District 29. Sukhee is willing, no doubt about that. Able? Not so much.

Josh Newman

Anyway, several folks have pointed us in the direction of a guy named Josh Newman who has decided to challenge the miscreant Sukhee for the Democrat vote in next year’s election.

I don’t know much about Mr. Newman at this point, except that he has actually lived in the district for quite some time, and that fact alone warrants consideration. The introductory video on his website looks and sounds promising.

Politicians love to endorse one another. The idea that you are  so darn important that others like you, will support you, seems irresistible.

Mr. Sukhee Kang, who moved to Fullerton from Irvine to be our political overlord, is one of them. I visited Sukhee’s campaign website today to see what sort of endorsers I might find supporting this guy.

There is a long list of people up and down the State I’ve never even heard of, and who have probably never heard of Sukhee, except maybe for some plaintive voice over a phone line. But I was interested in a few of the locals who have, ahem, distinguished themselves in local politics – in one way or another.

Two of the more fun characters on the list are Anaheim’s Jordan Brandman and Lorri Galloway. You really have to wonder whether or not having their endorsement is really such a hot idea, politically.

Let’s have a look.

Um, well, okay…

Jordan Brandman is a first-term councilman in Anaheim, the petulant, wholly-owned subsidiary of Curt Pringle’s money machine. Apart from being a really peculiar and annoying third tier local politician, he is also a swindler. He grabbed $25,000 from the taxpayers by  pretending to do a “study” for County Clerk Tom Daly; it was a scam; a phony, largely plagiarized report that only existed as a pretext to funnel $25K into Brandman’s pocket. When busted, he had to go through the motions of pretending to actually finish what he started, even though he had already been paid. Nice. Check it our here, here and here.

The closer you got, the worse it looked…

Lorri Galloway used to be on the Anaheim City Council. Folks in north Orange County may recall  bubble head Galloway’s comical efforts to establish a residency in the 4th Supervisorial District back in 2010. It took her three times to get it right, and even then nobody believed the Anaheim Hills princess lived among her would-be subjects. Of course this was at the end of a long chain of duplicity that starts off with  purloining a house from her auntie in Monterey County and waiting for the woman to die so as to dodge the inconvenient court order to pay her back.

We’ll be sharing the profiles of other locals who think it’s peachy for an Irvine carpetbagger to represent us in Sacramento.

I don’t know about you, but I am insulted by the fact that some Sad Sack named Sukhee carpetbagged from Irvine into our community to run for state-wide office.

Eyes on your prize…

Sukhee Kang is the former Irvine politician who, along with Larry Agran and Beth Krom,  somehow blew through $250,000,000 on their comical “Great Park” mess with virtually nothing to show for it. Sukhee set sail from Irvine when the heat was on and the auditors began shaking out the disaster.

Surreptitiously, Sukhee slithered up to Fullerton, which was obviously no coincidence;  he had his eye set on his next political misadventure – running for the Democrats for Bob Huff’s open State Senate seat. So Sukhee soon opened a campaign account, lent himself some cash and began pretending he knew anything about the world north of Interstate 5.

Now, north Orange County has always been Republican territory, but there’s no shortage of Democrats around here – even some who have been elected to stuff. But for some reason these individuals have decided, so far, to defer to some loser who couldn’t have found La Habra on a map two years ago.

Well, okay. A little money in the bank and some endorsements from people we’ve never heard of before is probably all it takes to intimidate the local Democratic politician-types. But that still leaves hundreds of thousands of Democrats in the 29th SD, any one of whom would be better than the disgustingly ambitious Irvine Intruder.

So how ’bout it Dems? Does it really matter that there isn’t a single Democrat yet willing to take on a guy with a horrid record who has barely lived in this district  for a year?

Calling all Democrats, come in Democrats…

Some guy named Sukhee Kang wants to be our next State Senator. Never heard of him? There’s a good reason for that. You see, Sukhee spent the last few decades living in Irvine, and from 2004-2012 was on its city council and was even mayor of the Mecca of beige stucco. He is mostly known as the second puppet in Larry Agran’s notorious troika that wasted $250,000,000 on the “Great Park” fiasco.

After an embarrassing congressional try in 2012 Sukhee, bailed on Irvine and decided he was going to move to Fullerton, eyeing a soon-to-be open State Senate seat.

It seems that Sukhee really, really wants us to remain ignorant of his calamitous Irvine past and his quick getaway. If you visit his website you will find a whole array of endorsements from Democratic Party politicians, past and present, from up and down the length of California. You will not recognize most of the names because they have little if anything to do with Senate District 29 that includes northwest Orange County.

Would he ever tell the truth under oath?

You will also notice two names that are conspicuously absent from his list: Sukhee’s fellow Great Park conspirators Larry Agran and Agran’s other puppet, the notoriously dimwitted, cadmium red-dyed Beth Krom.

Bye, Sukhee. Write if you find work!

Now why would Sukhee want to omit the names of his two long-time comrades, folks he proudly stood shoulder to shoulder with during their eight-year monopoly of power in Irvine?

Ah, now that’s better!

Is Sukhee really ashamed of his record in Irvine and his servility to Agran? It sure looks that way. And who can blame Sukhee? If you or I had squandered a quarter of a billion dollars of public money, we would probably want to hide our past dubious associations, too.
