More Media Fails: LA Times Covers For Cheating Kristin

Unseemly Seema Mehta is playing cover-up for Kissin' Kristin Olsen.

Check out the article printed about her in the LA Times today:

California GOP vice chair steps down, setting off search forstate party's next leader

The former member of the state Assembly cited being a single mother, as well as her work as a consultant and on the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, for her decision to resign.

What? Where is the follow-up on why this career woman would go from state assembly minority leader to Board Supervisor and consultant, but for some reason did not factor in the time commitments to do all of the above?

The truth is that she was planning on a living a very hectic life outside of Sacramento, and she was prepared to do all of the above without constraint.

She's a single mother because she cheated on her husband. She is the home-wrecker in her family. That is her fault, but of course she refuses to take ownership for her behavior.

“Given the challenges before the Party, it is essential that we have officers who can fully commit to their volunteer positions. For both personal and professional reasons, I no longer have sufficient time to do so,” Olsen wrote in a letter to party delegates.

The personal reasons have everything to do with her affair with Chad Mayes as well as her betrayal of the party faithful and the voters.

Olsen, who became state party vice chair last year and has strong relationships with donors, was widely expected to succeed state party Chairman Jim Brulte when he retired.

Something else to keep in mind ... Olsen was ready to become the next CAGOP Chairman, since Jim Brulte was not going to run for a fourth term as Chairman. She was ambitious, too, and the idea that she was taking on responsibilities that overwhelmed her all of a sudden is total nonsense. She was ready to take on all those responsibilities.

Until she got caught!

Brulte, who has been reelected twice but is not expected to seek another term, will have to pick a vice chair replacement to be approved by the state party’s board of directors. The new vice chair must be from Northern California because Brulte is from Southern California, according to state party rules.

Charlie Schaupp

One name floated for consideration is Charlie Schaupp of Placer County. He wanted to the position before Olsen was tapped for the seat.

Olsen, 43, announced her resignation less than three weeks before hundreds of party delegates and elected officials are scheduled to meet at a semiannual convention in Anaheim.

Yes, indeed! Now why is that? She wanted to avoid the heated scrutiny and outrage which would follow from the resolution I had submitted to have her step down ASAP!

The Republican Party in California, which birthed GOP heavyweights such as Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, has been in a decades-long decline. Its share of the state's registered voters is under 26%, and it last elected a statewide candidate in 2006. Many of the party's members of Congress are key targets in the Democrats' effort to retake control of the House.

And the "leadership" like Cheating Chad and Kissing Kristin have further marred our efforts to bring the CAGOP back to a stronger stance in the state. Will voters ever trust Republican candidates or lawmakers ever again?
