DON'T CALL US ...

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, co-chair of John Kerry's presidential campaign, thinks the Chimpster is snubbing him:

Nearly 7 1/2 months after taking office, Villaraigosa said Friday that he still has not succeeded in speaking or meeting with President Bush.

Villaraigosa said that his office contacted the White House on two occasions last summer to set up meetings with Bush when the mayor was traveling to Washington, but that the White House turned down both.

The White House sees things differently:

Dana Perino, a White House press secretary, said the White House had received two requests from the mayor for a meeting: one in a letter, the other in an e-mail.

"Because of scheduling reasons, the mayor was offered meetings with top officials, and those offers were kindly declined" by the mayor's office, Perino said.

No meetings with lackeys for the mayor of LA.
