Mayor Villaraigosa Spreads the Love

Well, well, well, the chickens, actually the chick came home to roost Tuesday. Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa held a press conference to acknowledge that he has been having an affair for the past eleven months with Telemundo TV anchor, Mirthala Salinas. The Los Angeles Times traced their relationship back at least 18 months.
“In November 2005 — four months after he was sworn into office — Villaraigosa was seen one evening by a resident of the Sherman Oaks condominium complex where Salinas lived at the time.”

Mirthala Salinas “interviewing” Mayor Villaraigosa

The Mayor’s mea culpa came just one month after another press conference where he announced that his 20 year marriage to his wife Corina was on the rocks — she filed for divorce the next day. In both cases he requested “that people respect my family’s privacy.” Of course as an elected official that means diddley squat to the media.

The first thing that the Mayor needs to do is change his name back to Antonio Villar. You see he merged his name with the name of his (now former) wife Corina Raigosa — to get Villaraigosa.

Villaraigosa can’t seem to keep his peccadillos in check: He has two adult daughters both born out of wedlock with seperate women, and his wife filed for divorce in 1994 over a separate affair for which he later publicly apologized. They eventually reconciled. Mayor Villar was also denying that Ms. Salinas is pregnant!

Salinas has a thing for politicians and power; “Assembly Speaker, Fabio Nunez, one of Villaraigosa’s best friends, also had an affair with Salinas from the summer of 2003 until after his swearing in as Assembly Speaker in February 2004. The Speaker’s office confirmed to ERSNews.com that while the Speaker was divorced from his wife Maria (they have since remarried), Nunez and Salinas had a romantic relationship. Salinas attended Nunez’s swearing in as Speaker of the Assembly. Sources also tell ERSNews.com that Salinas would regularly fly to Sacramento to see the Speaker. One insider at Telemundo said that “everybody in the newsroom knew all about it and management did nothing about it.”

There’s more breaking news about Salinas here: She dated Alex Padilla too

I say that Tony Villar and Mirthala Salinas are made for each other – they love themselves and the camera too.

Let’s hope the wheels finally come off Villar’s political career – especially his dreams of being Governor of California.
