Mayor Newsom: Drunken Stupor or Cop Out?

The San Francisco Chronicle today ran a Page One, Above the Fold story on Mayor Newsom's confession of a drinking problem (read the statement here). People are allowed to make mistakes but regardless of your performance in your professional career (which I will not judge him by), you have to be accountable with some moral and professional standard. He forced Alex Tourk to quit his job, ruined his family and is prancing around town with a 20-year old. How's that for a role model? And I don't want to hear that he's not a role model. I VOTE FOR HIS RESIGNATION!

BREAKING NEWS: San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is a PLAYA!

Okay. So it's not really breaking news. Everyone knows that Mayor Gavin Newsom is a PLAYA!

KTVU reported San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's campaign manager Alex Tourk resigned today after he confronted the mayor about an affair Newsom had with Alex's wife Ruby Rippey-Tourk. Ruby told her husband about the affair while she was going through rehabilitation for substance abuse. The affair took place about two years ago when Ruby was Newsom's Director of Administration and Commissions. The Tourks had a baby together that same year.

Fast forward to last year: When the Westfield San Francisco Centre opened in late September 2006, Mayor Newsom was spotted giving booze to girlfriend 20-year old Brittanie Mountz, who is said to be a hostess at Aqua, located at California and Battery in the Financial District. In October 2006, the two were spotted at the SF Symphony.

Now this should make for an interesting election year. He's screwing more than girls. He screwed the 49ers and chased them to the South Bay. Don't vote for Gavin Threesom...ugh...I mean Newsom.
