Now, we can add genuine asshole to the list, and the same goes to Andrea Damewood for publishing this scumbag's despicable pronouncement.
Here it is, in it's entirety:
Swami Says
Blog: All politics is local
January 4, 2012
You may recall last year that Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt and former Mayor Royce Pollard (not the world's tightest duo) hosted dueling New Years Eve galas.
Not this year.
Instead, Leavitt folded himself into the Rotary event at the Hilton, where they asked him to play the role of “Swami” for part of the evening.
As part of their fundraising, participants purchased a ticket in order to address the “Swami” and receive their fortune.
(Obviously the lady to his right thought some of his predictions were off the mark.)
"If you can’t laugh at yourself and have some fun, then you’re in a world of hurt!" Leavitt said of his get up.
He also said that since our editor, Lou Brancaccio, is into giving predictions, Leavitt would give a few of his calls for the new year, offered by his friends. (We have a feeling that one Albert Angelo III had a hand in these).
1) Lebron James will still not win an NBA title, proving that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, unless of course you’re an Oregonian moving to Washington to avoid income tax.
2) Leavitt and Pollard will become best friends and travel to south American Mayan ruins where they will save the World from its bitter end (12/21/12). Super Friends!
3) Lou Brancaccio will join the cast of the Jersey Shore television show and finally get all the attention he deserves.
4) NBC picks up the fledgling production of Vancouvria. Leavitt resigns from Vancouver mayor job to take star role as super-smart County Commissioner Tom Mielke.
5) Steve Herman (who comes to nearly every meeting to speak against light rail and tolling) shows at a council meeting, and forgets what he wanted to testify about.
6) David Madore and Larry Patella wage a war against each other. Patella doesn’t want to pass the torch to Madore for the title of “Vancouver’s Biggest Hypocrite.” Representative Jaime Herrera Buetler asks for a public vote on who should be crowned.
7) A Mayor and Councilmember Swimsuit Calendar is produced. The only buyers are your girlfriends and family members of the Council. Proceeds go to save the Slocum House Theatre!
More:And, one prediction that's a bit more serious -- and a lot more politically phrased, from the mayor:
There are precisely two requirements for Vancouver to ever BECOME a "great place to live" instead of the total camel's arm pit it is now: one, for this despicable rag to go bankrupt and two, for The Liar to be recalled.
There's no hope, otherwise.
For THE rankest political hypocrite to ever live here locally to say anything like that about anyone else shows that he's not only unfit for elective office, but he's likely unfit to be out without a keeper.
And for Dammwood and this rag to print this garbage?
Well, there's neither excuse or explanation.
But I'm glad they did, in a way, because McFly?
Expect to see it... a lot.
God, what a despicable pair of human beings, Leave-it and Dammwood.

Wow, he really went personal on those insults. David Madore, et al, can count me in on a Tim Leavitt witch hunt. The guy needs squashed.
No doubt Leave-it proved to be a real asshole again. He might think he is funny, but such pot shots at those who oppose you, when they aren't there are just tacky.
It wasn't him making fun of himself, but trashing people not present.
But, what else can we expect from the Liar?
