[分享] San Francisco Mayor's new antics

With the startling admission -- and public apology -- regarding an affair with his campaign manager's wife, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom set off on Thursday what one Democratic strategist described as a mushroom cloud over his promising political career.

the scandal came on the heels of headlines that have put an unflattering spotlight on Newsom's personal life -- from coverage of a messy divorce to public displays of affection and dalliances with a series of girlfriends, including a 19-year-old restaurant hostess, to sightings of the 39-year-old mayor drinking at bars and bistros across the city.

Even an East-Coaster like me have heard of Gavin Newsom, the "refreshingly" candid politician, who is also young and good-looking and extremely popular in Frisco.

Give the guy a break. He is newly divorced and heartbroken, of cause he needs to party a lot and hook up with 19 year old bartender.

19 years old already?
whatever happens btw 2 consenting adult should not be labelled scandal...

什么伤心嘛，我听说的是他把结发妻给炒了鱿鱼的。这人因为公开明确地支持同性恋结婚（好象还在市政府给他们主婚什么的）而大受本城人欢迎，一度被当成是民主党新星什么的。一出名就掉底了，开除了老婆，跟小姑娘出双入队，被质问时当场说我觉得搞政治真没意思。现在又跟他的手下人campaign manager的老婆搞婚外恋，兔子吃了窝边草。挖，要多八就有多八。他以为他是Bill Clinton哪？

In my eyes, he's a politician in public, so if I am a tax payer living in SF, I don't care how many times he's divorced or how many 19 year olds he's slept with or how he dumped his wife, that's all between them two adults, as long as he's a good mayor enforcing good policies. Same thing applies to Clinton. He's a politician not a morality leader.

你什么意思，BILL CLINTON 就可以乱搞么？一想起来就迁怒于他。倒不是因为BILL CLINTON乱搞。而是他被抓住以后要是肯早点下台，让AL GORE 上台，２０００年大选不至于那么接近，历史会完全不一样。乱搞是他自己的事，可是要做政治家就不能不虚伪／顾大局。透支政治资本，倒霉的是民主党，最终倒霉的还是大伙儿。

Hoeny, 乱搞 is his business, election is pulic's business, unfortunately the poeple couldn't manage to tell the difference. But he did something bad. Why couldn't he be a man and admit he did it and that's none of your f***ing business? His give-me-goose-bumps wife didn't say anything, right? His lying and gutlessness was what ticked me off, not his 乱搞
I bet you his wife told him not to resign, to stick it to the end, and to let her bear the pity and later use it as capital. I dodn't know why I don't like her at all. Can we have other candidates for the 2008 election? Is the Bush-Kerry tragedy going to repeat itself?

Yes, but given it is quite obvious that the public can't tell the difference, he should have known better. It is not like he had not done that before -- he apologzied to the public in 1992 when he needed the vote for himself. Why could not he do it again for Al Gore's sake? What a selfish a__hole!

About Hilary Clinton. No, I don't believe she has so much control over him.

I don't care either, but it sure makes for good 8g.

But gay rights people are mighty pissed off because his indiscretion is hurting their mission.

Fox News has been all over this news -- just shows you these librals Democrats are moral degenerate! They are really using Newsom to attack Nancy Pelosi, even though the only connection is that both are Democrats from California. Even though we don't care about politicians' morals, most righteous Americans do, as instructed by Fox News...

Knowing · Post by **Knowing** » 2007-02-02 13:23

Fox News is so dumb! Polls already show sex scandal doesn't hurt Demacrats much , just like bribery scandal doesn't hurt Republicans much, because both are taken for granted. It is the other way around, voters are caught off guard and totally shocked -- like when a Rebulican candidate sleeps around, or a Demacrat candidate steals money!

真是丑事传千里啊，连东岸都给惊动了。

这下可好了，起码肯定了Gavin Newsom不是GAY. 我只是不明白，为啥他要给大伙儿道歉，又没跟别的市民的老婆睡觉。这个被戴绿帽的Alex Touk还算有血性，冲到Gavin Newsom的办公室臭骂他一顿，然后辞了职拂袖而去。本来这段韵事一年半以前就完了，Ms.Touk在受Substance Abuse的治疗，据说为了配合治疗才向丈夫坦白的。呵呵。

我不介意Gavin Newsom乱搞，可他乱搞的同时也得干点儿正事呀，市政厅门口的味道跟厕所似的，流浪汉这几年来有增无减。

他老婆也是个奇怪的人，离婚搞得不清不楚地，是本地专栏作者的调笑对象。

这跟乱搞没关系，磨刀不误砍柴功。。。
绿帽老公还挺有骨气的嘛，我喜欢。那象我们这边新泽西州长的老婆，老工跟别的男人乱搞还吃了一把PROZAC 笑嘻嘻的出来站在他身边听他跟全世界宣布＂我是一个弯美国人＂。MMD 弯男就弯男，美国人了不起啊。

怕就怕他功夫都花在磨刀上了，没顾得上砍柴。

绿帽子老公也长得不错，不像Gavin Newsom那么小白脸儿。这人其实挺有才干的，很有人缘儿。他发起的Homeless Connect Progam还是蛮受好评的。这会儿好了，老婆也被人睡了，工作也没了。

第二男主角Alex Tourk：

女主角在这里：

回头说Gavin Newsom的前妻，是她先搬到纽约去追求事业的。离了婚，前两年查尔斯王子夫妇到旧金山访问，她又巴巴地赶了回来做hostess。本地报纸把她嘲笑了个够。到底还没有修炼成真正的纽约客呢。

这男人忒好看，又做了旧金山市的市长，我简直不能相信他爱女人。

这个男的面相还可以，不过头太大了，也算不得十分好看。
而且西服底下的胳膊腿儿看着都细细的，不够牛肉。

不错，我也不喜欢他的长相，太油滑了。说他好看，都是跟那些半秃头的老头子政治家们相对而言。这些人在电视上，报纸上出现的频率那么高，对纳税人的眼睛是一种考验。

小伙子长得挺精神，我毫不picky的说。人家又不靠这个吃饭，长成这样已经很对得起观众了。

Elysees · Post by **Elysees** » 2007-02-09 12:43

嗯嗯，又有新进展。市长为了弥补前幕僚辞职的经济损失，自掏腰包，说在前幕僚找到工作之前，给他每个月发工资1万5。

Yeah, keep digging. More evidence to show that Mr. Newsome is not cut out for politics.

小K的意思是...

我还是好几年前在时尚杂志上看到他和当时的夫人的采访, 搞得很ELITE的样子, 有暴发户的感觉. 后来的事情就不知道了. 当然, 我至今看的地方报纸还是SEATTLE TIMES, 不算弯曲人.

按中国话说：越描越黑。按洋人话说：如果你已经在坑里，就别继续挖了哈，越挖越深哪。这老兄摆的姿态也忒好笑了点吧？说到好看，咱Nancy Pelosi气质就很棒啊。又年轻又漂亮的祖母。

呵，说起来不怕你笑。人家以前有个Financial Times的记者从伦敦来，住了SF一年就受不了了。他说这个地方totally lack of glamour, the old money is imbeded, the new money is too geeky. 他后来跑到纽约去了。

好在SF市长们有亲自上阵，娱乐市民的好传统。Gavin Newsom的前任，Willy Brown在任期前就有个私生子。

我是真心觉得西岸的政治家比较淳朴有趣，自己掏钱发工资！太逗了！他肯定也不拖欠赡养费

...想我们东岸，出个弯州长还跟情儿狗咬狗一嘴毛互相上电视骂对方说谎性骚扰--太肮脏了，失去了娱乐性。

什么！！
我以为他俩琴瑟和谐弯州长才热情出柜的.....看来我没看到这个八卦的始末实在是大损失。
纽森市长最近天天上新闻，因为伊除了这个还有酗酒问题，已经公开宣布接受心理治疗了。
为啥大家都说他不帅，我其实觉得还不错啊，可惜是个直人，未免愧对了执政地区。

Is that from his book <Confession>? Juicy! Like Daniel Steel novel....

And according to Golan when he was on Larry King, they never made " a boastful, passionate, whispering, masculine kind of love". The governor sexually assaulted him, that's all.
