Diane Harkey's sad legacy in Dana Point

Harkey: "extreme bias" by Register in printing unflattering pictures.

Diane Harkey demonstrated once again where her political priorities really are by leaving an outraged voice-mail message for Orange County Register political reporter Martin Wisckol this week, complaining of a conspiracy by Wisckol and the newspaper to print only "unflattering" pictures of her.  "I'm not that unphotogenic!," decried Harkey.  Knowledgable readers were reminded of some on Harkey's other choice communications to Dana Point residents that can be read at www.dianeharkeyrecall.com, namely, her comments that "In case you didn't know, I'm very wealthy..." (Source: Email from Diane Harkey to Dana Point resident, October 13, 2005), and "My only point was that I am independently wealthy..."  Source:  Email from Diane Harkey to Dana Point resident, October 14, 2005.
 
Here is what the Register's blog had to say about Harkey's insistence that she is being subject to "extreme bias" because she is "not that unphotogenic":

Total Buzz Poll: Are we unfair to Harkey?

http://totalbuzz.freedomblogging.com/files/2007/10/diane-harkey-2.jpgDiane Harkey left me a phone message today, saying the blog was singling her out and posting unflattering photos. You can see the two photos I’ve used of her here.http://totalbuzz.freedomblogging.com/files/2007/10/diane-harkey.jpg

 

“I’m not that unphotogenic,” she said. “I think it’s totally unfair and extremely biased.”

What to do but take the issue to the unscientific court of Total Buzz readers. (Click below for another comment from Harkey on the matter, and Total Buzz photos of others.)

Is Total Buzz unfair in using these photos of Diane Harkey?

Go to the Register's site and vote for yourself.


"Despite public denials from her own Assembly staff, just a few months ago, Diane Harkey disclosed under penalty of perjury an interest of up to $1,000,000 in "Point Center Financial," a company being sued by investors for fraud and under investigation for operating "Ponzi scheme," bilking investors, according to the Los Angeles Times and KNBC News. Harkey's recent mandatory financial disclosures as an elected official now prove her connection to the troubled company and may become evidence in the fraud litigation."

Diane Harkey's sad legacy in Dana Point-

  • a failed Town Center project;
  • more government spending;
  • more regulations;
  • more city union employees;
  • fewer businesses.
