This might be the perfect time for City Hall's favorite cabaret star to hone up on his Kander and Ebb. (Some "Cell Block Tango," maybe?)
SF supervisor and mysterious resident Ed Jew entered a not guilty plea today to four counts of perjury, two counts of filing a false document, two counts of falsifying election forms, and one count of voter fraud in a pear tree. Whew.
In an attempt to get this whole thing finished right-quick, according to the Chronicle, Jew wants "to save the taxpayers' money and get it over with," so he pled not guilty. Huh?
Anyway, the trial is set to start in mid-September.

Love the blog, y'all, but you should change that headline to "Not Guilty Plea" - I jumped a little thinking somehow there was a verdict already and I bet I wasn't the only one.
yipes! good call, #1. and will do. not that accuracy is a particular fetish of mine, god knows, but we don't want to start any jew-related chaos -- the white night riots all over again, etc.
The City....
If Jew ain't livin' in it,
You must acquit !
kind of makes me hope for a jury summons!!!!
Look what I found on Craigslist.
So, when is SFist going to start a pool on if he is found guilty or not? What are the odds on 'Not Guilty'? This is SF after all, so I assume he'll get away with it.
Not guilty of not living somewhere. "GENTILE JEW IS DOUBLE NEGATIVE NE'ER-DO-WELL!" as the headline would have read if this was the thirties and a man in a green visor was busy looking for more hyphens in his little box of lead grammatical symbols. And on not finding one he would deftly fashion a replacement using the tiny piece of tin that binds the ends of his shoelaces. It was another world in another time, after the dinosaurs but before the invention of brunch. Large woolen caps, kites for Christmas presents and more than enough doses of the clap to satisfy everyone. People bought vaccum cleaners from a band of roaming sex offenders, you knew your neighbors and the upper classes enjoyed badminton and bare bating. Just look up the meaning of sarsaparilla and tell me it ain't so.

Click on the last video:
Protesters follow Jew...
Hehe.
How come no one in District 4 is protesting? I've seen hardly a sign calling on him to resign. Seems that most of the people out for Jew blood come from other parts of the city.
@sagitta100:
Check the link above your comment...
There have been protests nearly every week in D4 and at every Ed Jew appearance at the Hall of Justice.
Jew blood! Good times.
District 4 voted for Jew because his whole platform was a promise to lower property taxes, and we're the district where owners outnumber renters.
The cop that owns the house across the street from me had several billboards for Jew. Makes me smile.
I looked at the CBS raw video feed of all the shenanigans accompanying Ed Jew's court appearance. (See applejuice's post above for the link.) What bothers me is EJ's smiling and glad-handing most of the time, while Fazio remains appropriately grim. If I were appearing to have a trial date set for my alleged felonies, I'd look like a deer caught in the headlights.
Anyone have any theories why Ed Jew smiles so much?
There may be a cultural reason here.
I lived in China for a while, and learned that whenever there was a tense situation or confrontation, the Chinese would often just give a broad smile and let the other person rant.
To save face, to make it appear as if all is well.
That's my theory.
Why should Ed be worried? In San Francisco you can murder the mayor and another supe and get a minimal sentence.
