Check out that star-studded turnout for the new LA mayor:
The inaugural ceremonies drew a host of local and national political stars, including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the ex-governor he defeated, Gray Davis; former Secretary of State Warren Christopher; former Gov. Jerry Brown; the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Jr.; Mayor Gavin Newsom and former Mayor Willie Brown of San Francisco; Carlos de Icaza, the Mexican ambassador to the United States; and consular officials from more than two dozen nations.
An interfaith prayer service before the ceremony also reunited former Vice President Al Gore with monks from the Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple, where Mr. Gore attended an illegal fund-raising luncheon during the 1996 campaign that led to much criticism and investigation.
When Mr. Villaraigosa introduced Mr. Gore, the crowd of about 2,000 gathered on the south lawn of city hall cheered heartily. A moment later, he acknowledged the presence of Governor Schwarzenegger, a Republican, who was met with a lusty chorus of boos. Mr. Villaraigosa quieted the crowd saying, "Excuse me, there will be civility today."
