How classy is Henry T. Perea?

Henry T. Perea being all classy in a suit
Henry T. Perea has been in the news recently and we just wanted to offer our two-cents on the man.
Hearken back to the year 2008. Perea was running for the mayor of Fresno when suddenly he lost to SwearBear. Instead of graciously admitting that he lost, he threw the reporters from ABC30 out of his party and blamed them for the loss, accusing them of biased reporting. C’mon man, you just can’t do that. That’s like blaming Kopi when it rains (amIright!?). You’ve got all that booze and red, white, and blue balloons for your victory party, and when it doesn’t go your way, you start kicking people out? That’s got to be the lamest losing party that I’ve ever heard of, and that’s really saying a lot, considering that it's a losing party! They’re lame by default. That’s about as classy as a $5 buffet… in Reno. Take that bad attitude back to the penny slots, pal! (BTW, check out this pre-election coverage that ABC30 did. It seems pretty impartial to us.)
More recently, you've probably heard that Perea, who represents the 31st district in the California State Assembly, has announced that he will be leaving his post early (kinda like Bowe Bergdahl) so that he can become a lobbyist for a pharmaceutical company. This will require a special election that will cost tax payers $530,000.
First off, leaving his job in the assembly that pays $95,291 (according to wikipedia) early so that he can get paid even more, especially when he was barely a year in to a 2 year term, is about as classy as hiring a home decorator with a meth habit. Let's hope that aluminum foil window treatments are all the rage this year.
Secondly, costing the taxpayer half a million dollars in order to do this is about as classy as getting a Prince Albert. Sure, it's all shiny and flashy, but it's still just a… well, you know what it is.
Thirdly, forcing a special election means that only someone who has the resources and name recognition could actually have a shot at winning. And--what do you know?--Joaquin Arambula suddenly wants to make a foray into the State Assembly. If you'll remember, Joaquin is the son of Juan Arambula, who held the seat before Perea. That's fishy, and it seems about as classy as, well, it’s as classy as we should expect from Henry T. Perea. What a Class act.
