We Win Best Apology!!!!!
Yay! We're so excited!! In today's Chron Datebook Peter Hartlaub article, on the various types of lame apologies, SFist wins!!!!!
Well, technically, Gavin Newsom "we're still dating!! we are we are we are!!!" girlfriend Jennifer Siebel won, with her long-winded and poorly-copy-edited "apology" comment that turned into an attack on former Newsom employee-paramour Ruby Rippey-Tourk. Hartlaub notes that what made it particularly excellent was that a second apology had to follow from the first one, on actual paper the next time. Hartlaub classifies this as a "repeat-the-mistake" apology, in the same category as Michael Richards and Isaiah ("I never called him a f*****") Washington's.
Meanwhile, we'll repeat some mistakes of our own, and give you all the links to the Siebel dust-up, for those of you who like to reminisce. Original interview where Siebel said all the inflammatory things about Ruby Rippey-Tourk, our original post (with all 600+ comments attached), Siebel comment, presumed PR lackey's response, front-page Chronicle article about it, three follow-up posts, and Jen's next weird interview with the Marin IJ.

This place is like perezhilton: the SF municipal politics edition.
Gavin Newsom should apologize to San Francisco for scaring all the opposition away.

Great pic of gavin looking all serious and presidential, the bumblebee looks a little like a boozed out joan kennedy though.
*crickets*
She looks like hell. That color is absolutely ghastly on her. And the poor thing seems to be sporting the exact same facial blemishes I got while studying for the bar.
Dating a guy who pays more attention to his hair than you do must be stressfull.
Jonesy, they both look BOMBED. I thought he got over that stuff in REHAB.
Now you've got me wondering -- I just checked and the picture's from the Icer Air thing last November, so it's pre-rehab, for what it's worth.
There should be a caption contest for that photo. seriously, the guy to the right of Newsom is giving him that "I think I know who that guy is, but he still looks fishy to me' there there is the guy to the left of Seebull "uh, no she isn't my mother, why do you ask?" Then there is Gavin looking like somewhere he accidently sat on a pole and its still stuck up his ass and he's thinking "Damn doctors I wish they'd get this pole out of my ass" and finally there is Jen striking a striking pose thinking " oh look there's a birdy"
just a thought....
God, I hate her. She's the ultimate plastic woman. No personality whatsoever, and nothing to distinguish her from a million other plastic women.
