Villaraigosa and his mistress part duex

Who's Sorry now?

We're not sure who's the sorriest in this case - the voters, who held such high hopes for Antonio, the Hispanic hope for California and the wave of the future for politics in the US?, or the victims of the Mayor and the TV news star's passionate affair?

Here's LA Observed's update on what everyone's saying about the Mayor and Miraltha lately. We're particularly tuned in to the last quote, Zinger of the weekend: "Salinas, the proverbial other woman, loses a lot as well....She's lost her credibility, her reputation and maybe even her high-profile job at Telemundo. After that, not even Rocky Delgadillo would date her." — Mariel Garza, Daily News

Villaraigosa's mistress with the Assembly Speaker

OK, Here goes:

In 2003 Fabian Nunez, Assembly Speaker of CA, was getting divorced from his wife, Maria. He has confirmed that he was having an affair with Mirthala, the Telemundo reporter.

Fabian is a good friend of Antonio (Villaraigosa). A good friend? Hate to think what an enemy would do. Fabian and his wife have since remarried - guess that's a version of "stand by your man". The Mayor and Mirthala are now an item, while he's getting divorced. See any patterns here? Oh, and then there's Paris Hilton and Antonio looking all cute and flirty....what's up with that?

Eric Longabardi of ERS News.com reports that before Mirthala Salinas became involved with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, she was the girlfriend of his good friend and close ally, Speaker Fabian Núñez. Quoting Longabardi:

Assembly Speaker, Fabio Nunez, one of Villaraigosa’s best friends, also had a relationship 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.”

They're still having mayoral sex in LA

Who's not seperated now?

(And we're guess still having sex). That would be the Mayor and Mrs. Antonio Villaraigosa.

Both of California's biggest city Democratic Mayors are VERY good looking men who look like they would be fun to have sex with. SF's Gavin Newsom had an affair with a coworker and another man's wife and has apologized for it. Antonio had an affair awhile back (while his wife had cancer!) but is currently still "living in the same house" with the Missus.

All we want to know is are they still having mayoral sex?

LAO Apparently responding to blogger Luke Ford's allegation that the Villaraigosas had split up, the mayor told the Times last night that the entire family — himself, Corina and the two teenage children — is living at Getty House. "Absolutely not true," Villaraigosa said of the gossip. "We are not separated." He did admit to strains, but called them "ups and downs." The couple had broken up once, before he ran for mayor the first time, over his affair that coincided with Corina undergoing cancer treatment. Just who Villaraigosa spoke with last night is strangely murky. The Times attributed the comments to "an interview Thursday evening at Getty House," but the short story carries no byline. Corina was not at home at the time, the paper said. Luke has revised his post substantially since putting it up on Monday.
