The Board Of Supervisors Date The Boss
Monica Lewinsky's interest level in working for SF city government just went up a notch, as the SF Board of Supes overwhelmingly voted down Chris Daly's proposal to ban office affairs between supervisors and supervisees. (No, not affairs with supervisors like Chris Daly is a supervisor, affairs with supervisors like your boss. We could probably get a proposition on the ballot barring affairs between the San Francisco Supervisors and their constituents, though -- because, come on, ew.)
The vote was 10-1 opposed, with only Daly voting for his own proposal. The message we take away from this? Only Chris Daly is faithful to his wife. Better keep a short leash on Jake, Mrs. McGoldrick! (Especially since one of the other proposals on the table at yesterday's Board of Supes meeting was Supervisor McGoldrick's suggestion that prostitution be classified as a low-priority crime in SF.)
We can debate whether or not it's appropriate to have policies regulating private lives in place at the office, but Daly's proposal was viewed by pretty much everyone as mostly a dig at our triumphant second-term mayor Gavin Newsom, who, as you may recall, got busted sleeping with his former Appointments Secretary Ruby Rippey-Tourk earlier this year. Maybe Daly should just have proposed something prohibiting people in city government from sleeping with their best friends' wives. If you're going to call Gavin out, Chris, you should just call Gavin out!

Thanks a lot for the precum-stain-inducing graphic, Rita. I'm sure my colleagues will appreciate that.

Rita, I would totally tap me some of that District 4 sizzle. And I'm pretty sure Mirkarimi could snag a date, too. Methinks your standards are a tad high.
they don't call him supervisor ross mcdreamy for nothin'!
sigh.
Mirkarimi is hot. There's no way of getting around that. Assuming he's lost the facial hair, that is.
Yep, Daly and Mirkarimi are definitely the hotties of the bunch...if Daly weren't so whiny, I might actually find him hotter than I do now. :/
Hotties? Hmm...
Score 1 for government keeping its nose out of private lives that are consensual and of the non-quid-pro-quo/non-harrasment variety of rendezvous.
I moved to San Francisco because this City celebrates freedom ... don't try to kill that attribute off.
I would make out with Chris Daly any day of the week.
Raise your hand if you like sex...ok, now raise your hand if you enjoy sex in the workplace.
