Who is Tychoon Tony Bushala and what does he want?
Fullerton’s left wing joined with its Old Timey Republican enemies back in the 1990s in a rather unsavory but comical embrace. The sight of Dick Ackerman and Molly McClanahan on stage, debating as pals was a joy for some to to see since it corroborated evidence that the two groups were really no longer that different, and the Main Goal was to defend the walls of City Hall from the obnoxious prying eyes of “unknown” outsiders.
18 years later the two groups found themselves again in desperate solidarity as another recall offered a new and unsettling future with unkempt barbarians at the gate.
At the center of both tumults? My old friend Tony Bushala was at the center of the vortex of evil. A fun, self-deprecating video made by a Friend in 2012 was actually stolen by sad sacks Dick Ackerman and Larry Bennett and published on the anti-recall website. You can’t make up this level of Grade A stupidity. Anyhow, here’s the video.
Nowadays, Tony seems once again to be the target of his haters – dipshits that have done an awful lot less for Fullerton than Bushala. These are the remnants of Fullerton Boohooo and a scraggle of uninformed nitwits who actually respond to the delusional Kennedy sisters, Sharon and Saskatoon.
I guarantee he will be smiling when he sees this.
Another old classic! Tony Tychoon with the solid gold toilet.
Did you mean to put Tycoon? Unless, Tychoon was intentional…
I don’t think it was intentional. Which makes it even funnier.
Bushala’s political impact is sensationalized by Sharon Kennedy and the Fullerton Observer in an oddly obsessive way. He had little to no control over the council during Kelly Thomas and recalled three members. The replacements either didn’t get reelected or were not always in step with Bushala. The subsequent councils have not been friendly to Bushala. Bruce Whitaker, Nick Dunlap and Fred Jung did not always agree with Bushala (examples: the hotel project at the train station and UP Trail, both Bushala opposed and both were approved). Cherry pick the Walk on Wilshire as a Bushala victory, but you would miss the point. Bushala hardly exerts the influence that Disney has in Anaheim, the Irvine Company has in Irvine, and the Santa Ana police union has in Santa Ana. It is all hysteria flamed up by Kennedy and the evergrowingly terrible Fullerton Observer.
Does anyone bother to consider if Tony is just on the right side of history and that maybe he is just supporting things he believes in? The Observer view is that he is getting rich off the actions of the city council. I would ask them to show proof where he is enriching himself with the Walk on Wilshire being closed OR open. Is he raising the rents of his tenants? Is he amassing parcels for a larger future development project on Wilshire? Unlike most of us who just complain behind a computer or phone, at least he puts his money where his mouth is.
Yeah, but he has a gold toilet and a 9 babe harem. Do you?
