Villaraigosa Bobblehead
From Christina Hoag, our correspondent in LA:
Looking for a unique Christmas gift? How about a bobblehead doll of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
As a tribute to Hizzoner and to raise some cash, the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project is peddling the wobblies on its website. At 25 bucks a pop, they’re a little pricey, but the sale of each doll puts $19 in the nonprofit’s kitty.
The mayor was all for the idea when the Project asked him for permission earlier this year, says spokesman Juan Bustamante, “It’s cool. It really looks like him.”
