Okay, okay, okay, we promise, this is our last post for today about Ed Jew (we think) -- so what happens next?
Well. Newsom will now appoint a permanent replacement for Ed Jew's seat on the Board of Supes (presumably interim District 4 supervisor Carmen Chu is the leading candidate, unless Jennifer Siebel-soon-to-be-hyphenate-Newsom is living by the zoo now and wants something to do on Tuesday and Thursday nights), and that replacement will rule through to the November 08 election. The seat will be up for election, along with the other odd-numbered districts (which were up anyways).
Ron Dudum, for one, has said he's going to re-throw his hat into the ring, claiming that he came in second back in 2006 anyways -- though you may remember that David Latterman, city elections number cruncher, reran the numbers through the ranked-choice voting algorithms and concluded that if Ed Jew's first place votes were tossed out, the excitingly-voweled and suspiciously-fundraised Jaynry Mak actually would have won.
A new LOLJEW by Sweet Melissa (who's got some more Ed Jew analysis of her own you can check out)! Thanks for sending it in!
The criminal cases against Ed are continuing. Ed's next date in the state criminal case is Feb. 5, and he has a status conference scheduled before the feds later this month sometime. Ed's lawyer says they're trying to settle those cases, which is a different stance than before, when they rejected a deal that would require him to plead guilty to one felony count for the state criminal case. No word if the feds have offered him anything, at least that we could find.
Finally, Ed's lawyer says that Ed's decided never to run for elective office again. "This is not the world for him." You know, the world where one lives in the area of town that one seeks to represent, and where one is not allowed to peddle one's influence for money (Duke Cunningham et al notwithstanding, that is.).



Thanks Ed, for wasting the taxpayer's money for your drama. Love the phony baloney appeal for sympathy because you were a huckster in a cheap suit.
Now please sit down, shut up and go away. And take all your hangers on with you, kthanxbai!
very funny rita!
the royal couple looked great last night at his re-inaugural party.
jennifer is getting used to her new role. there were more people taking pictures with her than with gavin. kind of scary.
"I left mai seet..."
Please stop with the racist portrayal of an Asian man. It's backwards and demeaning.
ellebliss, get a grip.

Ed Jew's an idiot, but I think you're a bigger one for the obviously racist spelling errors. Get a clue, people.
Sweet Melissa's link provides a clue.
Thanks, Dan. Sadly, whenever I do LOLs for Ed Jew, I get this hyperactive nonsense.
