Audacity of Truth
Scandal-plagued SF mayor more popular than ever
Just as I predicted. Via Bloomberg:
July 13 (Bloomberg) — San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is running for re-election virtually unopposed, more popular than ever, after admitting to having an affair with a top aide’s wife and entering an alcohol-treatment program.
Newsom, whose approval ratings are running close to 80 percent, said he expects a credible candidate to emerge eventually. So far, challengers include a street-performing clown, a homeless man, an advocate for nudism, and a candidate who pledges to wear a camera so voters can monitor his performance in office.

Indeed. It’s the “Marion Barry” syndrome.
Jeez! I can’t decide if the folks in NJ, or San Francisco, or Louisiana are the most brainwashed by these loony-tune politicians. I wonder if any of them will ever wake up and really see what the hell has happened while they (the voters) calmly stood by and permitted the abuse of the system over and over again.
If I were a san francisco resident, I’d vote for the clown. At least it would be funny to have a clown for a mayor.
