Hot Tamale....Yea She is. I consider myself, that having an affair, is not a good thing, but will that destroy your career as a politician? I do not think so...Politicians are remember for what they did for their comunity no for who they sleep with. I would say Mayor, get divorce and go and hunt more hot tamales and eat them./

If you ever look into his face with that evil grin when he smiles, he kinda looks like Satanas, he just needs a tail and pitchfork. Poor family, lets pray for them.

And you see the mayor at the Cathedral cutting in line sitting in the front. Recieves holy communion from Cardinal Mahoney. This dude better not ever give a speach on family values. He is a total embarrasement to the latino community especially the word FAMILIA> Que gacho this viejero is. I wont vote for this pendejo again

"He brought a disgrace to the Hispanic/Latin population..." I think the Latino community has brought enough disgrace unto itself, what with 12 million lawbreakers in the Unidos Estados already. Comprende? P.W. She is one Hot Tamale!

What's with all the liberal vaginas getting their panties in a twist over the use of "hot tamale" and "chica?" I'm a super liberal, Latino feminist. And I wasn't offended by the use of these terms. Salinas IS a hot tamale, come on! And like the first poster said, at least the Mayor has better taste than Clinton... Lighten up.

Tony, I demand you stop making jokes in your posts. Being funny at the expense of any other human being other than yourself is irresponsible and unprofessional. You disgust me. You don't even know what it's like to be a minority or deal with years of oppression or hear racial slurs used in the vernacular. I mean, what do you think you are, Black?

Hi Tony, Please reserve the comments of 'hot tamale' & 'mamacita' for Latina females who are well deserving of it and not for females who have earned the title of a concubine. As a female Latina, I take no offense of being called a 'hot tamale' & my husband's 'mamacita.' When said in the appropriate content, I take this as a form of endearment and a compliment. I get your point and your writing style. What I do not get is how the LA Mayor could allow a chica to help destroy his public reputation that he worked so hard to achieve. More importantly, how he allowed this chica to help destroy his marriage. Both the La Mayor & chica have no shame in their public and personal life.

Re: Guest post #11: My mom and I were discussing the same point you brought up -- the fact that Villaraigosa often tried to push the family values technique and this just demonstrates his hypocrisy. In my eyes, cheating is one of the lowest things a person can do to their so-called "significant other" (obviously using the term loosely here), and any person who pulls this sort of crap receives absolutely NO respect from me. As for all those replies claiming racism and sexism -- oh please. Get a sense of humor and stop being so damn sensitive about comments like those. As a Mexican female writer, I thought Tony's phrases were cleverly used in the article and felt no offense at any point while reading it. People seem to get HIGHLY offended by anything these days, though.

Please, Tony was just doing this for fun. Like I don't use it amongst my co-workers in discussing the story around the water cooler. "Shocking"? Give me a break. The only thing that is shocking is his attempts to hide this. When Hahn divorced, nobody cared because he didn't make a big deal about it. When you call a press conference and throw your two kids from many girlfriends ago out like a "neener neener" move, and refuse to answer questions, YOU are the story. YOU made it happen. You tried to sweep it under the rug by tossing the story during the Hilton sentencing, but then you had to get you mug on camera and pretend that everything is fine. It isn't. Nobody cares about Gavin Newsom's dalliances, because Gavin Newsom is divorced and passing drinks to 20 year old women is not the same ethical dilemma as sleeping with someone who gives the news for the #4 rated news programming in Southern California (after KMEX, KCBS/KCAL, KNBC). If you want us to honor your personal life, let's start by not having press conferences and refusing to answer questions about this.

As much as I disagree with certain racist comments being used in this article, the LA mayor is to blame. He brought a disgrace to the Hispanic/Latin population primarily because he is a public figure. Where does he get off (no pun intended) telling the American & Mexican population that this is a private matter and essentially none of our business. Has he fogetten that he used the public platform specifically 'family values' to be elected into office. Then again, he did forget his own family. I agree that this woman is attractive. Her beauty is only exterior because a truly beautiful lady would never get involved with a married man with children. This mayor is a disgrace to the Latin population!

It's shocking that someone who purports to edit a blog about Los Angeles clearly does not give a shit about half the population of this city.

Calling a grown Latina woman "hot tamale" and "chica" is both racist and sexist. I doubt you'd use similar diminutives describing an African American adult female. Get a clue, you asshole.
