Oh No, Ed Jew!: Weird Letter Writers
As we were dozing off our hangover this morning after the wild party we threw when we found out we were named the Guardian readers' "best local blog" (did you hear us? The "we're number one!" chants even drowned out the random shooting in the Lower Haight last night), we found ourselves perusing the letters section of the Examiner. Specifically, the two letters from today from one today claiming that the case against Ed Jew is a witch hunt. Our favorite is from one Patrick Monette-Shaw, who says that "if Newsom files an ethics complaint, it will again call into question his judgment."
After the jump - who is Patrick Monette Shaw?
Patrick Monette Shaw is this guy, who made the Weekly's list of city pains-in-the-ass last year. Awesome. UPDATE: We screwed up - the quote in the post was not about Monette-Shaw. We apologize, and the offending quote has been removed.
Shaw, however, pales in comparison to the other letter from one Joanne Gomez. If you're like us, when you read the phrase "The right to express one’s thoughts and not be condemned for doing so should be championed with as much vigor as defending democracy from tyranny," you immediately think of Ed Jew. Hey, if defending democracy involves taking $40,000 in cash payment from the owner of a tapioca shop, sign us up! We'll head right to the Sunset today and start shaking 'em down for freedom!
