Political candidates can be so entertaining. The latest example is Milpitas City Council Candidate Garry Barbadillo who prominently posted a photo on his website of himself posing with suspended State Senator Leland Yee. Yee, you may remember, was arrested last spring on charges of political corruption and gun trafficking (automatic firearms and shoulder launched missiles), allegedly associated with an extremist group in the Philippines. 
The Senator was forced to drop out of this year’s race for California Secretary of State, but by then, more than 200,000 people had already decided they were going to vote for him. We wonder if Barbadillo was one of those voters. Yee was suspended from the Senate, and the investigation into his case is ongoing. We’re all for innocent until proven guilty, but you have to wonder why Barbadillo thought it was a good idea to associate himself with Yee.
