Lorri Galloway in 4th in the 4th
Posted by Mr. Peabody in Harry Sidhu, Lorri Galloway, OC's Fourth District, Setting The Bar Low, Shawn Nelson on June 13, 2010
Thanks for the phony address.
A way back, when her carpetbagging candidacy actually seemed plausible in some circles, Anaheim Hills’ Precious Princess unleashed a video campaign that portended all sorts of unintended hilarity.
It was called “Lorri in 4th Gear” and was supposed to feature the Precious One in meaningful dialog with her would-be constituents. The first video was so comical and so amateurish that there were no more.
Now, Galloway’s efforts have given new meaning to the phrase “Lorri in 4th Gear” as she has now slipped under the vote count tallied by Buena Park’s Art Brown – who barely campaigned at all and is now in third place. Here are the latest numbers posted by the ROV:
| SHAWN NELSON | 15,269 | 30.4% |
| HARRY SIDHU | 9,201 | 18.3% |
| ART BROWN | 8,125 | 16.2% |
| LORRI GALLOWAY | 8,101 | 16.1% |
| ROSE MARIE ESPINOZA | 6,231 | 12.4% |
| RICHARD FAHER | 3,240 | 6.5% |
As you can see, things aren’t looking too good for Lorri’s Legacy. Of course her dollar to vote count isn’t nearly as embarrassing as Hide and Seek Harry Sidhu and his union pals, so there’s always that perspective to fall back on.
Just Like We Thought

Uh, Harry, I've got some bad news...
Now that the rodents are leaping off the sinking SS Sidhu, word is starting to leak out from former crew members that the non-paid “volunteer” John Lewis, was neck deep in the Sidhu scampaign for county supervisor in a district in which he doesn’t live.
In fact, that way we hear it, The Lewis Group, which consists of John Lewis and his partner Matt Holder, basically took over the campaign. Of course they won’t be bragging about it after what happened.
This news explains a lot. Such as why Matthew Cunningham was doing his level best to promote the hapless and helpless Sidhu while pretending to be objective – as usual.
No, I tell you. I have never even met the man.
But this situation also raises other questions. Such as: will Sidhu be reporting the Lewis Group’s unpaid professional services on his behalf as an in-kind campaign contribution? Hmm.
We’ll be checking up on that.
You Can’t Dig A Hole With A Rubber Band
Posted by Joe Sipowicz in Harry Sidhu, OC's Fourth District, Repuglicanism, Shawn Nelson, Victory on June 9, 2010
That’s a saying my grandfather had to suggest the futility of trying to do a job with the wrong tool. And in this case the tool in question is Mr. Hide and Seek Sidhu, the bogus 4th District candidate with the fake addresses, the gibberish, the all ’round assclownery.
All new episodes coming in the fall!
By now you may have heard that Sidhu got his clown’s ass handed to him last night By Fullerton’s Shawn Nelson in the 4th District Supervisor’s election. It was a solid 12% margin for Nelson – after the unions had spent $1.5 million to smear him and promote the lame Sidhu.
But the Sidhu product was, and is so worthless that it can’t be peddled at any price. The more money pumped into it, the worse it looked. As we predicted all along, Sidhu’s campaign managers have soaked poor Harry and will continue to do so all long as he keeps writing checks that don’t bounce. But come September union bosses Wayne Quint and Nick “Bullhorn” Berardino will have to ask themselves whether they want to waste any more of their dough trying to sell a car that has no wheels and no engine.
Well, it’s true they’re not the brightest bulbs on the tree, but as the Good Book says, the writing is on the wall. And then Harry will have to go it alone; and all the money squandered will be his.
Oh, and we’ll be checking up to see if he’s actually living at Lucky Way.
Criminal Complaint Filed With DA Against Harry Sidhu
Posted by admin in Behind Closed Doors, Dead heads, Harry Sidhu, OC's Fourth District, Repuglicanism, Setting The Bar Low on June 3, 2010
REPUBLISHED 6/4/10
Yesterday a complaint was filed with the District Attorney, Tony Rackaukas, against Harry Sidhu for falsifying public documents when he created a fake residence where he never lived in order to run for 4th District County Supervisor.
How do I know a complaint was filed? Because I’m the one who filed it.
First, take a look at my letter to Mr. Rackaukas.
Now that’s some serious stuff, right? Here are some of my supporting documents.
At the end of December Harry Sidhu re-registered to vote at 2230 West Lincoln Avenue, #106, aka the Calabria Apartments.
The Calabria Apartments
Here’s the re-registration form from the end of December, 2009.
One month later Sidhu re-registered yet again, this time to a place called Lucky Way. He cited the Calabria Apartments as his previous dwelling.
The only problem is that Sidhu never lived at the Calabria Apartments. Our investigation revealed that nobody, including the apartment manager and neighbors ever saw Sidhu there; no furniture was ever moved in; that the unit in question appears to have been vacant for a long time; that no leases or receipts exist to document Sidhu’s alleged tenancy.
It’s crystal clear. Harry Sidhu concocted a phony address in order to run for office in the 4th District and he never lived there. That was an outright lie. And he lied again when he changed his registration a second time citing 2230 West Lincoln as his previous address. This is blatant voter fraud and a knowing falsification of public documents.
I have no doubt that some in the political community will want to brush aside this sad, inconvenient truth as inconsequential. Sidhu will no doubt play the victim card like all politicians do when they get caught in a trap created by their own overarching ambition and arrogance.
Was a crime committed? Well, that’s for the DA to decide, or perhaps to lateral the issue to the State Attorney General. You can be sure we’ll keep you informed.
Greenhut: Unions use malleable Sidhu to flex power
Posted by Travis Kiger in Behind Closed Doors, Harry Sidhu, Union Goons, Watch Your Wallet on May 29, 2010
Steven Greenhut just put out an impressive piece on the why the public employee unions are throwing everything they can behind Harry Sidhu.
While explaining Sidhu’s appeal to the union bosses, Greenhut writes:
Sidhu has no obvious principles that I can detect. He has agreed to drop OC’s lawsuit against the 2001 retroactive pension hike for deputy sheriffs, which has earned him the unending loyalty of the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs. He supports the high-speed rail boondoggle. He would not support the Prop. 90 eminent-domain reform. He talks like a conservative at times, but that’s typical in OC — talk like a conservative, then vote like a liberal on the really important stuff.
He closes with this excellent summation of consequences from an (unlikely) Sidhu victory:
If Sidhu wins in Orange County, then the unions will have won an enormous victory in arguably the most union-unfriendly area in the state. They will have made their point loud and clear: If you stand up to us, we will defeat you and will elect our own hand-picked candidate. Forget about pension reform and other union reform issues if they hold sway.
You can read the rest of “Unions use malleable Sidhu to flex power” on Greenhut’s CalWatchdog website.
Sheriff’s Union Sends Sidhu a Dictionary
Posted by admin in Harry Sidhu, Hidden Government Agencies, OC's Fourth District, Setting The Bar Low, Union Goons, Watch Your Wallet on May 27, 2010
How do you spell "pension?"
It looks like the Sheriff’s union has been watching the same video clips that we have. You know… the ones where Sidhu stammers incoherently and fails to answer simple questions about union pensions.
That must be why they sent out this mailer with a photo of Harry sifting through a dictionary, as if to tell voters “Harry knows pensions. See, he looked it up!”
What a bumbling buffoon! It’s no wonder county unions can’t wait to sit at table with Harry Sidhu and negotiate their next pension spike.
Hide and Seek Sidhu On Public Employee Unions
Posted by admin in Dead heads, Harry Sidhu, OC's Fourth District, Repuglicanism, Setting The Bar Low, Shawn Nelson on May 21, 2010
Hi there!
UPDATE: I came across this earlier post today as I was thinking about all the political mail paid for by the “public employee unions” telling you what a great guy Harry Sidhu is and what a bad guy Shawn Nelson is. This video is worth a replay. Sidhu has an almost limitless capacity for clownish behavior — a perfect fit for the union circus.
Here’s another classic “what did he say?” mumble moment brought to you by Harry Sidhu at the GOP Central Committee meeting last week. We think he believes in public employee unions, but not in his ability to say no to them if they give him dough (directly) – so Honest Harry says he hasn’t and won’t take it. Even though he has been taking it ever since he first got elected in 2004!
In any case he says he won’t ‘take their money now. But just a few days before he had gone hat in hand to the Sheriff Deputy’s union to get their endorsement – and a big monetary expenditure via their IE, and he knows he got it. This is perfectly consistent with the profile of a politician without an ethical fiber in his being.
And that makes him a first class hypocritical hair ball and a worthy candidate for the John Lewis crowd to support.
What a guy.
Comic Genius – Another Priceless Sidhu Moment
Posted by Mr. Peabody in Harry Sidhu, OC's Fourth District, Setting The Bar Low on May 19, 2010
UPDATE: I came across this earlier post today as I was thinking about “The Joke’s on You” post. This really is too good not to show yet again. Will we see a repeat performance by the Sidhu clan in the waning days of this year’s campaign? Don’t bet against it. Sidhu has an almost limitless capacity for clownish behavior.
Although we don’t get many glimpses of Hide and Seek Sidhu these days, video clips of his performances do exist. And some, like the one I share here, reveal a man who has seemingly missed his calling in life. Instead of a fast food operator and a political aspirant, Sidhu really belongs on a vaudeville stage someplace.
Let me tell you, I renounce negative campaigning. Until I run again. And again. And again.
Here’s a priceless youtube clip starring Sidhu at that golden moment two years ago when Sidhu lost his nerve and started shredding his mailers in his campaign against Mimi Walters for State Senate. It’s brilliant comic performance art, and as usual he drags in his family to perform as extras in his hilarious political theater. Watch them dutifully shred his hit pieces against Walters as he introduces his rag tag collection of political allies – just about the only people who showed up (oh yes, I see you Bill Taormina!).
By the way, this clownishly hypocritical gesture didn’t help Sidhu at all. He was thoroughly pummeled and lost every precinct in Anaheim.

The Joke’s On You!
Posted by Mr. Peabody in Harry Sidhu, Repuglicanism, Setting The Bar Low on May 18, 2010
I got an e-mail today from a friend of mine from Anaheim who isn’t all that politically active, but who saw the 4th District Supervisor WAND forum and has seen the videos of Hide and Seek Sidhu on our website.
One is the loneliest number.
Shock and dismay would be two good words to describe this woman’s impression of Sidhu. But I’ll let her speak in her own words:
I am aware that money is really all it takes to run a political campaign, but I have to say I am really and truly amazed by the campaign of Harry Sidhu. I know he doesn’t live in the district and I know he made up several addresses in order to run in the 4th. Okay. That’s pretty awful.
But what’s really bad is that the man is completely incoherent, has no grasp of any issues, and can only read what has been written for him on index cards. It’s pathetic. I would feel sorry for him if he hadn’t brought this embarrassment on himself. In fact, I really doubt if the man has a sense of shame at all.
At the WAND forum all I heard from this character were platitudes of the emptiest kind and even most of those were irrelevant. His performance at the GOP Central Committee meeting was humiliating – and embarrassing for everybody.
Keep up the pressure on this candidacy. You are doing an great job exposing this empty suit for what he is – an over ambitious, ignorant carpetbagger.
P.S. You can use my name.
M. Rodriguez
Thanks, for that. I couldn’t agree more.
When Harry Met Jennifer
Posted by admin in Dead heads, Harry Sidhu, MSM Falls on Face, No News Is Bad News, Repuglicanism, Setting The Bar Low on May 17, 2010
Those rascals in the white van have done it again. After a night of hard binge drinking that included shots of denatured alcohol and grapefruit juice, the FFFF Surveillance Unit sprang into action and arrived outside the State College/Katella Denny’s in time to capture part of the conversation between Hide and Seek Harry Sidhu and OC Register’s intrepid reporter, Jennifer Muir, that we reported on here.
The following transcript has been deciphered from the somewhat poor quality sound recording, and the written notes submitted by the crew, although the handwriting is a bit jittery. Invest any amount of credence in this that you think it deserves.
Jennifer Muir: …so in other words you did not live at the Calabria?
Harry Sidhu: Yes. I mean no. There was a refrigerator.
JM: Excuse me, what?
HS: A refrigerator was delivered and even plugged in. But I had to go skiing. In Colorado. Uh, no in my opinion it was Utah.
JM: And so you signed your name to that voter registration form thinking that you were going to live there, but you never did?
HS: Yes. Yes, indeed. I was always meaning to live there, of course. And may I say you are looking very attractive this morning?
JM: Um. Thank you. What about the DA investigation?
HS: Oh, let me tell you all about that. Politically motivated! I have been cleared of all wrong doing. I came out of that smelling like a daisy.
JM: Uh huh. So then what happened was your wife refused to live in a stucco box behind a bowling alley?
HS: Yes. Such a wonderful woman. You know, we are still sweethearts after all these many years. Sometimes we will hold hands for no reason at all as we walk along the path. Maybe you saw the picture? She even voted for me at the CRA nominating meeting.
JM: Why did you tell people that you had bought a house in the district?
HS: Well, you know, I don’t know anything about that. I will get back to you. By the way, I am very fond of your shoes.
JM: The fact is that up until December you lived in the 3rd District. The issue of carpetbagging has dogged your campaign. Any comment?
HS: In my opinion I have represented 40% of this district for so many years I have forgotten, so I am not only qualified but the people of the 4th District deserve to be having me represent them. In my opinion I truly believe they have been calling for me. I hear the the voice of those people. I am responding to their many calls.
JM: Right. Well. Let’s move on. Some of your critics point to your lack of knowledge about County issues. What would you say to them?
HS: I will be learning all about that later. For now I would say we need jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
JM: Yes, but how, exactly would you create any jobs as a Supervisor?
HS: I am a businessman, not a politician. I know all about creating jobs. I have a plan. We will have a big jobs fair! I will be turning “The OC” into one giant jobs fair.
JM: Excuse me?
HS: There are many fast food franchises that are hiring. In these hard times people eat more fast food than ever. It is a well known fact. I did very well during the last recession. We need to match them up with people looking for jobs. It’s very simple. A jobs fair.
JM: (Unintelligible gurgling sound) Uh, um, how does that tie in with the supervisor’s duties, exactly.
HS: Jobs, of course. We need jobs.
JM: You say you’re not a politician, but you seem to keep running for different political offices. Why is that?
HS: Uh, why is what?
JM: What?
HS: What?
JM: Why all the political campaigns?
HS: Well, this is because I am not a politician, of course. I am running these races because people need me because I am not a politician!
JM: What would you say to (sounds of crashing dishes) to the critics who complain that you always seem to be running for office?
HS: Well those are people who don’t know me because…
Unidentified female Voice: Can I warm up that cup for ya, hon?
HS: …if they knew me they would know how important it is to be electing me to something. Soon. It’s really all about a job. I mean jobs. Jobs for everybody.
JM: Hoo-kay, then. At the GOP Central Committee meeting you seemed to be a little fuzzy on the subject of defined benefits. Have you cleared up that point?
HS: Well, let me tell you, that was a trick question by my good friend Mr. Scott. I have been in deep consultations. And it is my opinion that in my opinion, I have not yet looked into the impact on that and will continue do so in the future.
JM: That’s a pretty important issue. Don’t you think the voters will want you to understand that?
HS: After the election I will try, but of course there will be many, many things to be getting on with. I will hire only the best people to explain these things to me. Mr. John Lewis has promised to help me with that.
JM: Your website takes credit for the High Speed Rail project but at the WAND forum you specifically claimed you have not made up your mind. Care to comment?
HS: Ah, Jennifer I have so much respect for your journalism ability, let me tell you.
JM. Thank you. How about answering the question.
HS: Well this is a very delicate matter because you cannot be for something without understanding all of the complications and implication. Implications are very tricky. And you cannot be against something until you have thoroughly examined all the details. As I say, the devils is in the details. Well, it’s all a great muddle in my mind, really…
JM: So is that a yes or a no?
HS: Please repeat the question.
JM: Let’s move on.
HS: Okay, jobs.
JM: Pardon me?
HS: Jobs. Jobs Jobs. Oh, I see that white van again. It is becoming quite a bother and now I must be pushing off…
(at this point intelligible audio was lost)
