Kevin de León Wouldn't Enjoy Being Mayor, Anyway
Details
@THE GUSS REPORT-Is there a crisis management doctor in the house?
It will go down in the annals of embarrassing American pop culture moments, along with hideously bad first pitches at Major League Baseball games, botched National Anthems and
Howard Dean's infamous meltdown that murdered his presidential campaign.
At-minimum, it will be a talk radio sound bite that outlasts LA lawmaker
Kevin de León himself.
At Tuesday's LA City Council meeting, President
Nury Martinez tapped the recently elected de León, a politician of several decades and former President pro tem of the California State Senate, to lead the legislative body in the Pledge of Allegiance. What transpired turned de León into an immediate internet joke, the subject of countless mocking headlines and the final story of news broadcasts from coast-to-coast.
