Let me get this straight: Quickly tea shops were having trouble with their permits. So they go to Ed Jew, a Supervisor, who tells them to hire a "consultant" Then Supervisor Jew takes the cash from them and promises to give it to the "consultant". He also makes these businessmen give 20,000 to a favored cause of his, a playground. All to get permits. THIS is a champion of small business? Sounds like a low-rent thug to me. Extorting money from small businessmen to expedite their permits "or else" for his friend and for his causes. And then he starts opening his mouth and can't even tell the truth about the house in Burlingame. If he was a liberal, the Wall and the Chron would advocate shooting this guy on sight.

Why would Supervisor Jew accept 20,000 from a business who could have received their services for free from the planning department? How did the planning department get anything done in two weeks, much less sort out a complex issue like this? You can't even get a phone call to that department returned in two weeks! Perhaps the zoning administrator, Mr. Badiner, has some questions to answer too, unless he's too busy enjoying all those comp tapioca drinks.

The other $10k was confiscated by the FBI. According to Jew, he will donate it when and if the FBI returns it. This has been reported in several articles. C'mon guys, check your facts before making insinuations.

For some reason, whenever I see the "Oh No, Ed Jew!" headline on SFist, it makes me think of the title of a children's book. Was that intentional? Maybe someone should actually write one about this dude! It'd be fun.

Had 2 do an lolEd for that one: here. And this time I put the damned quotes around the url, even thought the RFC defines a whole list of url delimiters specifically for the purpose of making quotes unnecessary.

Don't miss this thought-provoking quote from edjew.net: Birdfeeders: Criminals or followers of St. Francis?
