While locals are still watching the trickling in of votes for things like city council races, former Navy aviator and author Quang X. Pham (pictured) went out attending the Leadership Academy for Asian Pacific American Elected Officials — even though he’s not an elected official.
Which raises, of course, the question: What kind of elected office is he shooting for?
As reported by AsianWeek here, “Three Republicans, two Democrats and one independent met with prominent APA elected officials, leaders of Congress, APA community leaders and political operatives whose expertise included speech-making, fundraising and Internet strategies.” 
The event is run by the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies.
The “one independent” would be Quang X. Pham. The ninth annual APAICS seminar also featured workshops on key issues such as immigration, voting, the 2010 Census and the current mortgage crisis.
Quang X. Pham is celebrated in the Vietnamese community as a particularly articulate bilingual speaker who proudly wears on his sleeve both his military service in the U.S. and his heritage as the son of a South Vietnamese military officer. Both elements figured prominently in Pham’s book A Sense of Duty: My Father, My American Journey.
With his military background, Quang X. Pham was asked to introduce Presidential candidate John McCain when the latter held a campaign rally in Little Saigon, in 2000. That’s Pham in this YouTube video, starting at around 1:38. Away from the stage, though, some unfortunate events happened at that rally; read more here.
The “C” in APAICS stands for “Congressional,” and it has been generally considered a good place to prepare an APA candidate for a House of Representatives race. Prominent among other attendees at this year’s seminar is Assemblyman Ted Lieu, the former military prosecutor and Democrat representing the Torrance-Venice coastal area. Lieu is widely believed to have his eyes set on inheriting Congresswoman Jane Harman‘s seat should she move on and up. Harman, the chairwoman of the House Intelligence subcommittee, has recently been mentioned as a potential Obama pick for National Intelligence Director.
So, would that be a natural conclusion to say that Pham is aiming at U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez’s seat?
The Bolsavik’s note to self: Next time you see Quang X. Pham at an event, ask him.
After hour……, do couple of push ups and slap your right cheek and say “I am so happy!” Be a official lonely self smacking jerk in a solo quiet after entertaining hours.

JK, I am following your footstep.
N for Nope and D for Dope.
JN Supporter,
People on this blog have been asking you repeatedly about Janet Nguyen’s shady character and lack of integrity. Why don’t answer them directly. You know the quesiton but keep avoiding them. She gets no support with out a clear answer on her stabbing experience and deceptuon of her supporters.
So how is Tom Turkey?
P for Pope and S is for Slope!
Jung Kim, ask him yourself. You have his number. How are the Rosy Palm sisters? Still dating them
I think Janet wants to become my mom……wants to tie me down AGAIN!
Yes JK, tie you down to train tracks.
Gobble Bubble, Tom said he can’t speak you have him inside of your mouth..smotherling him with your saliva. No on Prop 8?
Rather me and Tom than JK with Ed. I don’t kiss and tell. Lucky for you else all the women in this world would not consider meeting you.
Train, that’s not what she had said on my cell.. I think She doesn’t want to get pregnant.
Then you are talking to the wrong person now, right?
May the force be with you. Lots of Darth Vaders out there. You can slay them all!
I like Janet when she is in a good mood.
Wrong person…… Yeah it can be Diane, her sister. They kinda sound alike.
Insanity runs deep in the Jung Kim family.
(X-Rated) Entertainment
I enjoy JK giving as good as JK can take. I don’t have a problem with that.
Sounds like he’s driving you crazy. Take it to Bolsavik with your issue.
The movie usually ends at 5pm…….that’s when the 5th Floor closes for the day.
We need to give these Janet’s angry staffers few hours after 5pm…..in order for them to have a dinner and take a bath before finishing off the blog scripts. It’s just a daily routine!
Ooops, according to my inside source…..if they are really upset, they are back on computer without taking bath! I would call them a mad stinky staffers.
To Please Answer
I have already answer your question before. Ms. Janet saw bad leadership from LS Van, like shady character and lack of integrity. This is the reason she must break free from LS Van and become a better leader. Some time when you want to serve community and the leader is not very good, you must be courage and be a hero and break free from the leader. Now, Ms. Janet is a better leader with many more followers. Ms. Janet team has won over LS Van team many times now. I believe she is the best Viet leader to become first Viet Congress person. She has many Viet supporters and can get non-Viet support.
JN Supporter,
You tried to duck and hide again. Janet Nguyen is a stabber and a deceiver. Just ask eveyone who ever worked with her.
You like to call names against Van Tran but the fact still remains that she is a Lua Thay Phan Ban — one who deceive her teachers and betray her friends. You really provide no proof other than step on other people by calling them names. You behave very much like Janet Nguyen — making accusations and giving unsupported claims. Why can you not address that issue. It is not courage or being a hero to betray and lie to your friends and teachers. Why are you promoting that kind of values?
How can Janet Nguyen be a leader for the Vietnamese community when she can’t even speak Vietnamese properly. Is she even married to a Viet person? I don’t know who in the Viet community will sup?rt her for Congress, may be only you. She did not win the Vietnamese vote, either against LS trung or LS Dina. The numbers showed that.
JN Supporter,
Janet Nguyen for Congress? What are you drinking now? You’d have a better chance running for Governor of California in 2010. This woman got so many enemies that you can’t count enough with all your fingers and toes. That’s just less than 2 years being a Dupervisor.
Janet Nguyen won’t be able to run for anything. This is her last shot. Any seat that she runs in the future, she will be challenged and blocked. She had created too many potent enemies and opponents. She is dp stupid and vain. It is already her downfall, no matter how hard Nick Le Cong and Tony Lam try to manipulate her.
The Vietnamese community doesn’t even know where she is on many issues. The days of Janet making empty promises and commiting fraud against the voters are over.
VNA Republican has been quiet because he is QXP.
This blog is the perfect example of why South Vietnam could not sustain the war against the North. We are divided as a people by our own bitterness, jealousy, envy, hatred, and hot temper. Freud would say that there is still a lot of healing needed in the Vietnamese community which might take 1 or 2 generations.
Jn Supporter:
Please take your support for Janet Nguyen somewhere else. There’s no buyer on this blog. That product is so defective and used now. Nobody wants to touch her but only you.
Give me a ” J” … Give me a ” K” … What’s that spell ” JACKASS ”
hooray ! hooray !
no VAN, no JAN, no DI, no ANDY, no DIEP & no DO . . . we want no cheater, we want no liar, we want no corruptor . . .
Yah! Yah!
Sister,
Now, how low can you get to be stooping in the mud on Thanksgiving Day to call everybody names? I know that you tried on the Cheerleading Team for the Dallas Cowbboys but they kicked yopu out on the first round for profanity. God has a plan for veryone, and for you too.
You should be thankful and pray to God that you are not dead. But don’t let your sould die because of hatred and jealousy. Fix your way Sister.
Sister,
May God Bless you with your errant ways. You are an evil person to accusse a man of the cloth like me of molestation. Do you have erotic dreams of your brother, Jung Kim? Why do you keep bringing him up in such a sexual way? What is your problem? Do you have wet dreams of youir brother Jung Kim at night? You are so sick in the head!!
Jesus had to face false accusations from the Devil and I have to face false accusation from you, the Devil Incarnate. I pray to God every day that you will find Salvation from the hatred and jealousy that you are stuck in. Stop hating yourself and hating others and start loving, or you will be condemned in an eternity of Hell!
Haha……haha…….haha…… I think you need to pray for your soul instead of praying for me cause God is blessing me everyday & let me see the light and give me the vision so I can differentiate between the good & the bad. If you truly pray hard enough I’m sure God will change his mind & might lead you to the light. Oh, one more thing I don’t think you’d be able to love yourself like the way that I love mine until you take off that mask of yours and the title you’re hiding behind.
Sister,
My title is not important. You shpould never challenge or qurestion’s God’s representative on earth.
But we are all God’s children. Are you one, too? Is Lucifer your father? Do you know your father, Lucifer? You must disavow him now!!
But I would like to share the Gospel with you that you need to save your soul from the evil thoughts that you are currently harbor. In Mathew Chapter 2, Verse 5, God said that he will strike down those who are speaking in vain against him and his words. You are doing that when you profane gainst your fellow brothers and sisters.
I will pray to save you from the influence of all the earthly evils that are taking over your life so that you will cease from going on this blog to spew your hate and dark thoughts. You are a lost soul who needs to be guided back to the light. Halelujah!!
Give it up on JK Siste, Pastor. She’s already in hell under lock down.
hahahahahaha, OMG …may be you can ask the Bastard oops.. I meant the Pastor to look for your soul cause he’s down there praying to get up here with me :p
Pastor ? Oh Pastor ? Are you still praying …….. cause I can’t hear you. You know you have to be truly praying & not pretending otherwise you’re going to be down there without any light for a loooong looooong time !
Sister,
God teaches us to forgive people’s sins, and you have so many sins. You are a foul mouth, unrepentant little whore. It’s okay. Mary Magdelene was at one time like you but she saw the light and came back to the flock.
You need help, Sister. I never give up a on soul that needs salvation, even if it is a soul that smells like yours. Come back to the flock before you go off the cliff and end up like a runt without a place to turn. You are on your way there.
Read the Bible every night and get nasty dirty thoughts out of your small little head. God loves you and so does Lucifer. Chose wisely little Sister.
Sister,
I just said a prayer for you and your family. I wanted to inlcude your family in my prayers, especially your mom and dad because they must be suffering so much in order to put up and tolerate you and your evil ways. They need moral strength as much as you do. I am sure your family loves you so much buit you are rejecting their love so that you can follow the Devil. It is the wrong path Sister!!
I also have much sympathy for your brother, JK. I wonder how such a good sibling of your like JK can turn out to have a sister who is such a resemblance of the Devil. God works in mysterious ways and he challenges us everyday. You are his challenge not only to me or to your family, but to all of human kind.
God fearing people must understand and accept you for who you are and continue to pray for your sick heart to heal.
Good morning Pastor, thank you for all your praying last night
It’s surprisingly there’s so much love coming from a Bastard … oops, I did it again …. I meant Pastor, who wasn’t sure which ho** he has crawling out from has found such a passion for God. I, too have much sympathy for my brother, JK cause even though I’m smarter & cuter he still loves me no matter what and I’m glad that you & only you with the help of God could be able to see what a good sibling he is . I wish that all the people that was posting mean comments about him in this blog could have the same faith as you to be able to see how good JK really is. Well, whenever you’re praying for me & my family could you make sure you do that for all those people too so soon they’d be able to see the light & we could all be a happy community in this bolsavik’s land . Keep up the good work Bastard … Pastor and you know God will be speaking to you soon .
Pastor, what have you been doing in the house of God ? How could you running off your dirty mouth with all the name calling like there’s no presence of HIM . You need to stop whatever you’re doing cause we could not afford to have another law suit against the Church, do you understand ? For the love of God I hope that He will help you get rid of all the sexual frustration you have in you & be able to concentrate on serving him by running the Church & bring in all the donation that we really need. If you do not meet the quota by the end of this month, do not blame God what will happen to you !
Sister,
It’s a bright new day and you still have dark thoughts. I have been praying for you and your unfortunate family who have to put up with you, Sister. What have you and your ancestors done to deserve such a fate?
You must repent and repent quickly or you will have evil nightmares and dreams everynight that will cause you to call me names and malign me every morning. I take the example of Brother Job from over 2,000 years who have suffered so much at the hand of others. You can call me whatever you like but it will not change the fact that you need salvation.
If prayers do not help, I may have to submit you to Exorcism to completely drive away the Evil inside of you. I sense a lot of evil from you and you must keep it within yourself until I have a chance to exorciate the cancer from your body.
Brother Bishop,
You have violated the cardinal rule of the Church by posting indecent and vile materials on the blog. You have also failed to save Sister, a member of the flock who is inhabited by ther Devil. The war against the Devil is a monumental one and all hands must be on deck. Sister has been taken ove by the Devil and she needs your leadership to save her.
You also violated a second commandment of the Church by speaking ill of your fellow brother of the cloth. You must find re-demption for your Un-Godly conduct.
Pastor, I still have dark thoughts cause you probably been mumbling instead of praying so don’t waste your time doing it any more, go out & do some shopping … it’s the Black Friday for God’s sake ! And when you come back with all the goodies then I’ll tell the Bishop to perform the Exorcism on you so you could remember how to pray correctly
I think Sis. and Bishop deserve some heavy duty professional whipping punishment from Hong Kong government officials.
If any of you have any complains about me, take it up to God when it’s your time to see him ( IF you have a chance, and that’s a big ” IF ” ) In the meantime, leave me alone so I could do my job & lead the Church into a different a direction. Change we need, all of you liars, cheaters, sicko & corruptors will have to leave the house of God when I’m done with you.
Bishop,
For a man of God, you sure speak vile things. No words of compassion comes out of your mouth, but only vile and vicious things. You must be a fraud and not a real Bishop. Since Bishops don’t talk like you.
What directions are you taking the Church? The gay way. Homo marriage?
You are a fraud and you must get away and get out.
If your soul was saved by the Bastard … Pastor above then you have gone to the wrong Church, my child. Come to me & I’ll save you because I don’t want to see you turn out to be like Jung Kim . There’s no more hope for him but it’s not too late for you so just take my hand , follow the light & don’t be afraid because God will guide you through me .
Bishop,
You talk like the Devil and I don’t want to follow you to hell!! You worship a false God. I don’t want to “take your hand”. You are so gay, Bishop!!
I don’t want to walk down the Devil’s path with you. rue bishops don’t behave in such a way. You talk like a pedophile. I will report you to the police.
Pastor, you did take my advice & actually stop mumbling … I mean praying
Don’t you feel better being who you really are instead of hiding behind that mask & the title of yours. Now, you need to stay away from my brother & do not go down to the basement looking for him.
OMG, all of you D.C.B.A still D.E.W.D.N.I.G.E.R.I.N.O ….. How pathetic ! Well, I’ll be back when I see some improvement otherwise adios all of you marmite miners. Oh, here’s some more vaseline for you, otaku boys
Have fun with each others & don’t over work that donkey you hear !
