Well, there's a petition to recall him:

Ahem.

<Ron Dellums, Oakland's part-time mayor, is demanding "a substantial pay raise," according to the Chron. Columnist Chip Johnson buried this mini-bombshell in today's column. It's not clear who Johnson's source is. He doesn't cite one. >

Chip Johnson is a corporate asswipe. Now Dellums certainly has problems, but the fact is that the Chron has been gunning for him ever since he beat their boy Del Fuente.

Johnson lost anything resembling credibility back in February of 08 when he attacked Dellums for being at federal appropriation hearings in DC while murders were occrurring in Oakland. I'm sorry, what the fuck was Dellums supposed to be doing, cruising around in the Dellumsmobile fighting crime with his Dellums Utility Belt?

I've been sorry to see the Express joining in on the sniping the last few months. Fuck, quoting Chip Johnson? How about doiing some actual reporting, guys?

So I guess his wife must have told him he would ask for it. Did anyone see the Guardian's April Fools Issue. Dellums finally made a decision on his own; what color toothbrush to buy.
