Greuel endorsements: Dick Riordan and Maxine Waters?

waters2.jpgWe've yet to hear from Donald Trump or Jane Fonda, but there's still six more weeks left in this most vacant of mayoral campaigns. Hell, Greuel and Garcetti have to toot their horns about something, and if it's not about how they stand on an actual issue, it might as well be a race to see who is the most popular kid in class (don't they even look like two high schoolers running for class president?). Rep. Maxine Waters, the latest endorser, describes Greuel as "a woman of honesty and integrity, someone with the leadership, experience and toughness to get Los Angeles back on track," How Waters expects Greuel to do that is never mentioned, but that's the beauty of the endorsement game: You get a positive headline without having to actually say anything. At last check:

Greuel
--Maxine Waters
--Barbara Boxer
--Magic Johnson
--Bill Clinton
--Mark Ridley-Thomas
--Richard Riordan

Garcetti
--Herb Wesson
--Bernard Parks
--Nate Holden
--Jan Perry
--Richard Alarcon
--Kevin James
--Steve Soboroff
