VIDEO: City Councilman Bloopers

It's our second round of blooper footage from City Councilman Dave Leckness.

"That sucked, forget that."

Think it's easy telling Mission Viejo residents about their city services? Ask Councilman Dave Leckness.

You saw his politically incorrect blooper reel last year following the state of the city address.

Now Leckness has a new series of flubs to share with you. (See the video above).

These outtakes came from various videos produced for the city. In one, Leckness tries knocking on the door of residents, and discovers a lady who isn't keen on camera attention.

In another, he asks an official if there are freshwater salmon swimming through Mission Viejo's streams.

"Boy, I don't know about that, Dave," is the response.

He's caught joshing with former Chief of Police Services Lt. Mike Gavin: "I don't even know if it's true, but I like to say it."

And finally we see the real, uncut ending to his city address:

"God bless Mission Viejo," he says, pausing for an extended smile. Then "ah, I feel like a fool. Did you like that?"
