Oh No, Ed Jew!: Forever in the Spotlight

edjewisedstan.jpg

The supernatural forces behind the Ed Jew storyline are not pleased with Halloween and earthquakes hogging all of the attention. As of today, Ed Jew officially has his fourth legal suit brought up against him. After asking Jerry Brown if he could get all litigious on Jew a few months ago, today SF City Attorney Dennis Herrera finally filed the lawsuit we've all been waiting for -- or not -- that he didn't live where he was supposed to live when he ran in 2006 and took office in early 2007.

According to the Chron, "if Herrera wins his lawsuit, the proceedings before the Ethics Commission and Board of Supervisors would be moot. Jew would still face the state and federal criminal charges." So...there you go, your Ed Jew fix.

aaaahhh. yes.

 

Ironically, everyone knew Ed Jew didn't live in the Sunset before he ran. He thought he would get away with it, just like Leland Yee, Michelle Alioto-Pier, and Carole Migden. In fact, it would have been wink-wink-sure-we-know-you-live-in-the-Sunset-Ed, but for two mistakes. First, Ed never made deals with anyone. He was an independent voter, and garnered plenty of ill will from the other sups and the Mayor. Second, of course, he asked for and receive a bribe from Quickly to expedite their permit problem. Had Ed avoided those two mistakes, he would have served out his term, and no one would have made a fuss about his residency.
