BILL LOCKYER USES EXPLETIVE IN LATEST CAMPAIGN AD
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer’s first television commercial features the word bullshit in its closing tagline. According to the Los Angeles Times, the ad is currently airing in Southern California, where his opponent for treasurer state Sen. Mimi Walters hails.

The majority of the spot features footage from Lockyer’s now infamous “Just Stop It!” speech admonishing lawmakers in Sacramento. The 30-second commercial ends “Bill Lockyer for Treasurer. Straight Talk, No Bull#*+!” yet the announcer does not voice the expletive.

Lockyer is likely the most accomplished politician in the history of San Leandro, so where did this native son learn such salty language? Probably East 14th Street.
