Hey, did you know today is Mayor Gavin Christopher Newsom Day in Manila? And we're celebrating by running another installment of our column: Who's Attacking Newsom Now!
We ordinarily run this column along with its sister column, Who's Defending Newsom Now!, but -- well, it's looking kind of bleak on the Defending side this week, except for the spiffy Gavin Newsom 2008 thong to your right. We think that's for president, since the mayoral election is in 2007 -- unless we're backing Gavin for District 5 in 2008 now.
Okay, onto the attacks!
--Randy Shaw!: The editor of BeyondChron details all the issues he feels that Gavin hasn't addressed in his time in office and promises/threatens to discuss these issues even more thoroughly "in the weeks and months ahead." But ... what about the 75% of campaign promises Gavin claims he's met? (both links .pdfs.)
--The SFPartyParty!: They want to know why Gavin's always traveling or fundraising in Southern California instead of solving the city's problems. Also -- okay, that's a funny caption for the picture of Gavin they're using.
--Bevan Dufty!: Sources are speculating that Bevan's not so happy about the fact that Gavin's talking trash "all over town" about Dufty and his switched vote on the foot patrol issue. And... whoa! Whose exposed breast is that on Fog City Journal?
--and.... The Theater Zinzanni!: Leah Garchik reveals that Gavin took "a date" to Theater Zinzanni last Saturday (what, Beach Blanket Babylon was sold out?) and looked "none too pleased" when the cast tossed a bridal bouquet directly at him. We know what Gavin can use for the "something blue" part of his wedding gown!

I read and read,
but I am hard pressed to see,
any thing slanderous to any.
When something stinks,
we place it into ink.
Why not with foes,
like Joe.
To offend,
There is no end,
to append.
If Joe
must go,
Then maybe the the freedom of speech,
should go,
also.
The only thing that I see that is tripe,
is with all the gripe.
No matter whom we don't please,
they still want all the pea's.
Is it wrong,
to be strong?
Only if you write an ode,
and your name is Joe,
O'O'Donoghue
who may have or have not voted Blue.
When all is forgiven,
then we can go on liven.
Did Gavin really say that about the flight attendant? Which airline did you say he flew?
Adam-
I am pretty sure that is supposed to be a joke.
