    Hey Ahnold...please stop pretend blowing things up on Jay Leno and go answer some voicemails. Isn't your state like totally broke or something?

    When I see Arnold speak in public, I just miss Phil Hartman more and more. The current Ahnold is a cross between his own self-parody and Hartman's Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

    RIP, Phil. Get a real job, Ahnold.

    "But then, when it was time to talk about the city's finance problem, Newsom seemed out of patience." Gee... you think?
    And his off the record comments being broadcast, despite the anchor and reporter's lame attempts to justify, simply demonstrates a lack of professionalism and a lack of integrity.
    Newsom has been good for that city, both politically and in terms of public relations. He has his shortcomings, as do we all, but he does not deserve to be raked over the coals by this Fox News wannabe.

    @erebekah: He hasn't been too great for this city for those of us who are actual residents and remember his campaign promises and see the lack of concrete action because he's too busy jetting off to Davos to talk about his biodiesel limousine, while the unsolved murder rate skyrockets and 11 year old kids coming home from school on Muni are stabbed by psycho homeless guys.

    @ngonzogo: Isn't it funny how you Palin supporters refer to any instance in which Ms. Palin makes an ass out of her self (which is to say whenever she opens her mouth) as an ambush?

    And making the "mainstream media" the fall guy for your alleged ambush is like blaming the trees for a forest fire.

    If there is shame to go around here, Champ, take a look in the mirror...

    @Sleepyhead: With all due respect and contrition, I don't feel the least bit bad about not catching ngonzogo's sarcasm. I think it's because I have ODd on people voicing sentiments with that exact pitch/tone, and neutron microscopes couldn't find any sarcasm, irony, fill-in-the-subtext-of-your choice in those posts.

    Another casualty of the state of the republic--sarcasm has been rendered moot.

    I actually liked him with the gay stuff but he did get all obnoxious and the office affair was tacky and sad.

    Also, you need to post an update Pareene as he has basically become obsessed with tweeting every damn public event he steps foot in.

    I swear he is going to drop a letter at the post office and write about the wonderful work those brave carriers are doing. Relax brah.

    In reply to What the Hell's Wrong with Gavin Newsom?
    What people have to realize is that Gavin has gotten by his whole life on his looks and his social connections. While not wealthy himself, he grew up pals with the Getty boys, neither of whom speak to him now. Gordon Getty, their father, supported Gavin's political aspirations in the beginning and even financed his first big house in SF--but that support, too, is now weak and for the first time Gavin has to GROW UP and quit acting like the little bitch punk he's always been under that smooth exterior. He doesn't have the kind of money to life the lifestyle that he was raised around so he figured politics & power would get it for him--wrong! I used to love the guy, but now I can't stand his petty gutless immaturity.

    @yojeezy: His courageous support of LGBT rights/same-sex marriage and his efforts (failed) to solve SF's huge homeless problem made him a very attractive mayor at first. SF hadn't had a decent mayor since Feinstein went to Washington, so Gavin looked pretty good there for a while. Too good to be true in fact.

    @swedishcouscous: Most of the people in a position to know have claimed that Gordon Getty favored Gavin--personally and financially--over his own sons, especially Billy who has always been his father's favorite son and also his biggest disappointment. Billy and Gavin bought some property together with support from Gordon, Billy changed his mind and wanted out, but his father sided with Gavin and all but wiped-out Billy's investment. I think Billy knows he's just a fuck-up in his father's eyes and finally snapped jealousy over Gavin's relationship with his dad.
