Oh No, Chris Daly! We don't even know what to say right now. We'd been hearing rumors all day (thanks to those hard-working folks over at the SFist Tips line) about a fight between District 6's rebearded progressive bad boy and the more moderate and clean-shaven Bevan Dufty of District 8, but didn't get confirmation of it until the Chron went live with their story.

Sigh -- we don't even want to go into this, it's just embarrassing for everyone. So Daly, maybe a little unhappy about not getting seconded for his budget motion, was going back and forth with Dufty throughout the meeting, and Dufty finally said "For someone who sees himself as the strongest opponent to the mayor, you've done more to re-elect him than everyone in this room combined." Ooooooh.

Near the end of the meeting, which went on pretty long (just like the Senate was doing with Iraq, huh?), Daly then approached Dufty and they got into it. It got sufficiently heated that Dufty called Daly "a third-grade bully" and said "Why don't you just do what you want to do? Why don't you just punch me in the face?" Daly then said, "How dare you -- I'm not a bully," and bouncer/prez Aaron Peskin hade to jump in and separate the two of them. Ladies and gentlemen: Aaron Peskin, the man with the toughest job in the City and County of San Francisco!

Daly's calling it a "nonissue," and Peskin described it as a "sidebar spat," saying, "I'm not proud of it, but it's not the end of the world" -- even though Tom Ammiano said it seemed threatening, and Jake McGoldrick was sufficiently worried that he mentioned something to the sheriff.

After the jump -- we rate the choice quotes about Daly from the other supervisors to C.W. Nevius, who's now somehow moved from the "is Anna Nicole Smith your girl friend" beat onto city politics for the Chron?

How do you know when your political fortunes have turned in San Francisco? When they put C.W. "everyman" Nevius on your tale. We gotta say, we spend a lot of time mocking Nevius (quick, C.W. -- name three of the first ten amendments!), but he definitely got some damning quotes out of the supes today. We rate them on a scale of 1 to 4 green ties. (Sorry, we don't know how to embed little dancing green tie images in our posts, or we'd do that too.)

--Ross Mirkarimi: "He's been effective. But you also have to be an effective tactician. Otherwise you undermine yourself." Score: 3 Green Ties. If anyone else said it, it'd just be two, but the whole coming from Chris's buddy Ross thing gives it one more green tie zing.

--Michela Alioto-Pier: "There is a difference between passionate about things and being mean. The fact that he couldn't get seconds on his amendments showed that people had simply had enough." Score: 2 Green Ties. If anyone else had said it, it'd have scored three, but c'mon, this is the lady who forgot to show up to a meeting on her own agenda item!

--Aaron Peskin: "God bless him. The things that he says are legitimate points of view in a representative body. But sometimes he's an absolute bonehead and he doesn't help his cause." Score: 4 Green Ties! The "God bless him" was a nice touch.

And Chris's take on it? "I'm clearly the subject of a coordinated negative campaign right now. But people have figured out that, no matter what they say about me, I will continue to speak truth to power and act on my convictions. This may not make me popular, but over time, it does earn me respect." Well, it's certainly a true statement -- but still, the score? Four Ties, but they're not green -- they're BLUE.
