Newsom Scandal: Move on? Or Get Questions Answered? Since breaking the Newsom sex scandal story, the Chronicle has been busy doing damage control for the Mayor. The paper has not only failed to raise obvious questions, but is trying to shift the focus away from the Mayor’s sexual relationship with an employee he supervised by emphasizing the city’s pressing problems and the need to “move on.” Should San Franciscans stop asking questions about the scandal, or should some important questions first be answered? For example, how can anyone say tha...

They had the fling while she worked for him as appointments secretary. Apparently she spilled the beans to hubby as part of her recovery program. Hubby rushed over to Newsom’s office to resign his post. It was all very Days of Our Lives....

Senator Prejudice: The Day Joe Biden Threatened to Kick My Ass It was nearly two decades ago, yet the memory of a campus speech delivered by Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware remains especially vivid (and even more so after hearing his latest gaffe to Senator Barack Obama). The topic was predictably foreign policy, on which he is allegedly an expert, but reason for attending was not to hear the verbose senator sanctimoniously expound on international relations. Rather, it was in anticipation of the question and answer session to follow. At the time, Israe...
