Steven Maviglio, deputy chief of staff to Speaker Fabian Núñez, called the LA Weekly's Marc Cooper the state's worst political journalist on the state Democrats' website. Cooper calls it a great compliment coming from one of California's "most notorious, whining political hacks." It's all about Núñez and the Democrats' coziness with the Indian gambling tribes. Incidentally, the N.V. Cooper who reviews films for E! Online is Marc's daughter.
