Oh, also - I'm not sure I buy the Ragone statement that the number is widely available on the internet because, dude, the first thing I did was Google it and it didn't come up anywhere. Reverse phone books only track it back to being owned by Verizon wireless.

I don't really think there's anything particularly untoward going on either. I just think it's HEEEE-Larious. Chesh, I'm not sure how I know the Secret Service thing - I think I probably saw some TV show once on the SS and developed a mini-obsession (as I am wont to do) and ... voila! It was useful for once. I believe they are also responsible for bank and mail fraud (so, possibly interstate commerce in general?).

I love how Newsom and his spokesman Peter Ragone's official position on this is, "People have had Gavin's phone number since he announced Care Not Cash so it's no big deal." (Also, love the "Newsom is currently boycotting the SF Hilton.")

For one thing, I guess that explains why Paris was at the ballet or opera or something recently. For another, I would like to know how Mary-Lynn knows that very specific piece of information about the Secret Service.

I find it sort of endearing that Paris has opened up her mind and her address book to the political world. It shows that she's, you know, involved and stuff, and she cares about important things like politics. She's so deep.

What on earth could they possibly due to me for calling somebody's phone number, unless I'm trying to sell them something or leaving threatening or creepy messages? I actually was going to say "Gavin, this is SFist, and you should probably change your number." Really.

The Secret Service is the agency that deals with telecommunications fraud, so it makes sense they're involved. I imagine that most of the normal celeb types just changed their numbers but since Gav is a politico they probably are more intererested in his number than the others.

hmm, San Francisco has a Secret Service. or is that the US SS, SF division? maybe it's the only number Kimberly has for him, and Gav is still holding out hope.

Okay, so my phone is broken, and I used my roommate's to call that number to see if it really was the Gavster. It was. And to prove it? The "San Francisco Secret Service" called my roommate back saying "We've tracked your call to the Mayor of San Francisco. We've put your number on file and suggest that you do not call this number again." So much for just calling your phone provider and changing the number like everyone else on Paris's list did.
