Public singing commenter and Ed Jew fan Walter's back! That's his 40 second partisan rendition of "These Boots Were Made For Walking."
Click here for the Nancy Sinatra original, and here for the abysmal Jessica Simpson cover.
Thanks to moderates-advocacy group CUIP SF for passing the clip along!

I cannot even watch the whole thing, it is so painful. However, I do love this man. He plans his songs carefully in advance and then: Showtime!
Just awesome.
(groan)
PLEASE dont egg this person on...
Oh man, in light of Lee Hazelwood just passing away, this is really just awful.
As I posted above, please Don't egg this person on, whoever he is
thank you, "grassroots" CUIP.
I love this guy. He just is who he is. What's painful and pathetic is the whole S.F. political crew.
If guys like this are all Ed Jew has in his corner, he's so screwed.
"Boots" has to be in the top ten list of songs drag queens aspire to master.
Nancy Sinatra is so cool. I can't imagine what it must be like to have a super star parent.
Think of Jason Gould going out with some guy on a 3rd or 4th date.
J: Hey, I'm going to my Mom's house this weekend for lunch. Wanna come?
Date: cool. What's she like?
J: She can be a bit of a princess, but most fags seem to love her and vice versa.
D: What's her name?
J: Her friends and family call her Joanie, but her real name is Barbara.
Cut to the front door opening at Mom's house
Babs in full Streisand glam outfit: Hello already!
[Breaks into song:} My name is Baaaarbara!
Date dies from heart attack.
end of fantasy
Thank goodness, I was going through 'Oh No!' withdrawl the past few days.
Ed Jew is so awesome, the supes meetings totally need a Jerry Springer audience to cheer him on whenever something like this happens.
ED JEW! ED JEW! ED JEW!
i love this guy! i'll egg him on enough to cover me and guest #2. he ROCKS!
i wanna know what's with the badge thing he's wearing around his neck in both of the clips. backstage pass to the concert of awesomeness?
I think that's his 4-hour pass from the 5150 playroom.
CUIPSF a moderates advocacy group? They're lobbyists funded by downtown businesses like PG&E and BofA, run by Nathan Nayman, one of the creepiest people in San Francisco. Their blog is 100% astroturfing. There's virtually no comments on their posts and most of their videos have less than 50 views.
Their videos never provide any context. They cherry pick 30 second clips to back their conservative perspective, and they don't even provide links to the full video or any kind of text explanation.
Someone already mentioned this above, but were you aware that the author of that song, Lee Hazelwood, just died two days ago?
WINNER best example of "2 legit 2 quit" 2007.
is that guy behind him to the right sleeping at first?!?
blah blah Jeremy, give it up for two seconds...that was freaken HILARIOUS!!!
Hey, anyone who goes to public meetings knows that comment time, while necessary and important, can be incredibly boring and dull, especially if you're waiting for hours to get your 60 seconds of say. More power to this guy for having the guts to find a more memorable way to get his views across.
I am amused that the related videos displayed on the YouTube page are of Josh Wolf.
Dear God,
Thank you for San Francisco Politics. There's no place like home.
Amen
I've been watching public comment (and other miscellany) at the BOS almost every week since 1994. Sure, this guy is apparently, ah ... processing sensory input and ascribing significance to events in ways that differ markedly from how the average person does. And I hope he doesn't really think he'll influence the board that way. But c'mon, fellow public-comment watchers, isn't he a welcome break from the likes of that angry, incomprehensible little old Filipino dude in the Navy cap; the angry bigger dude in the aloha shirts and glasses on a string; "America's 4:20 Cheerleader" or whatever that loud guy with the fake pot-leaf necklace was supposed to be; and the shrill Laboria Peace Moore? Or John Bardis, even?
Your pal,
thatguywhokeepscorrectingthings
Man, this is just beautiful. The way the guy's eyes are bugging out, the people you can hear laughing in the background, and, best of all, the guy right behind him catching a nap who gets woken up by this magnificent ode to SF's finest non-resident supervisor.
I hope in his next song he works in the shower in the flower shop. Maybe to the tune of "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"?
