She is becoming a woman after our own heart, that Jen.
According to the Gate, the future First Lady of San Francisco accidentally registered as a member of the all-too-exclusive American Independent Party. As M&R tell it:
"[T]he onetime Republican registered as a member of the American Independent Party - the anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, anti-NAFTA and anti-tax party."
This is something we would totally do, similar to the many years we spent as a member of the Green party. Anyway, it seems she meant to register as an independent (i.e.., decline to state.) But a good chunk of the 2 percent of Californians who are registered as American Independent Party members have, perhaps, done so accidentally (especially when compared to such lesser parties as "the Greens [0.77 percent], Libertarians [0.5 percent], and Peace and Freedom [0.35 percent.]") Matier and Ross go on to point out that "the secretary of state is working on redesigning registration forms." Hopefully, this will make it more clear as to whether you want to unalign yourself with a specific political party, or you want to hate on women and those brown people.

I thought they said she made a mistake in registering. This party platform sounds like it prolly suits her just fine.
You don't think she's ever actually cast a ballot before, do you?
Hmm, well the slogan "two for the price of one" will not be used by the Newsom campaign when he runs for higher office, and isn't it amazing that she is a blond. Unbelievable.
This confirmed, again, that she is an idiot!
Plus, Newsom looked a little overdressed in the article's picture?! Wearing a suit and tie to a baseball game. Was the stick in his ass too?
The platform does sound right up her alley.
She sounds like the Florida 'tards who couldn't figure out their ballots.
Certainly explains Newsom's divorce. He can't handle anyone with ambition and an IQ of over 65.
Ugh, rich powerful guy with a bimbo. Such a cliche.
Oh Jen, I didn't think much of you until I read this. Now I realize you're just like us! Forget Gavin; he probably got all upset when he heard you registered for the wrong party. Honey, I wouldn't. I'd give you a big hug and tell you that you aren't the stupid bimbo all these SFist posters claim. Call me, Jen, I'm free Friday night if you want to party.
She is either lying or she is dumb as rocks. Oh wait, it is both!
I don't know. It's not so much "bimbo" as "odd". It's weird that she's registered as an independent at all.
It's like she wanted to switch teams, but didn't want to appear too blatantly calculating about it. As if it could look anything but.
I mean, what's the point of a blonde Stepford political wife if she doesn't vote straight down the party line?
Do Gavin's handlers think that's cute? Do they think Democratic primary voters are going to find it amusing, what with that GOP history of hers? Does they think Swiss Miss & Gav are going to be able to pull off the Arnold & Maria shtick?
Bitches, please.
Jen, your boy is up for a pretty fucking bruising primary fight. Get with the program. Check the box with the "D" and save some more whales. Above all, make us forget you were ever a Republican. Capiche?
She's registering decline to state now, so that when she re-registers Democratic in a year or two, the press can say she was switching from decline to state instead of Republican. Except she screwed it up.
I have to say, however, it's a common mistake. I saw several voters come in on election day wanting to vote Obama and being told they couldn't because they were AIP.
just another chapter in the never ending saga...
I've been out here about a year and half now and have yet to comprehend the frothing hatred people have for this woman.
Breaking news from the Chron: "Siebel locks self in bathroom - SFFD attempting to get her to turn the shiny little knob on the door to the left." Details to follow.
@ joel: she's attractive and blond. usually (and unfortunately) that seems to be enough for people to go on.
Brock, you didn't mention sharp, and stimulating,
OH Great ! ' Barbie and Ken' are running one of the most ' Progressive and Liberal ' cities in the United States , supposedly.
( has Aqua's ' Barbie Girl' music video playing in head on a loop now )
Well that certainly explains alot.
" May the Farce be with you "
Rob: You're my hero!
Joel: She isn't liked because she has nothing to say and only has her looks going for her.
Yeah, but as far as I know, outside an ill-advised comment on SFist almost two years ago, she isn't trying to say anything.
At any rate, I'm pretty sure you need more than looks to get an MBA at Stanford. I'm not saying she's a genius here, and I'm not saying she's probably not the beneficiary of a lot of breaks in life, heck, I wouldn't even say she's got a long career in acting ahead of her, but we're hardly talking about Paris Hilton here.
All this just reminds me of high-school lunchroom cattiness.
Aw, come on guys! She went to Stanford Business School so she MUST be smart! It's a conspiracy against her. All she has ever tried to do was save bees from pools! Leave Jen Alone!
I am mistaken. I thought this SFist.
You know, the place where we make fun of Jennifer Siebel.
You must've missed the part where I said the MBA doesn't mean she's a genius. Conversely, a Stanford MBA is no accomplishment whatsoever; she must've just flipped those plastic Barbie locks and batted her eyes at her professors.
OK, fine, whatever--carry on with this weird "Veronica Sawyer versus the Heathers" fantasy you're clearly pretty set in. It just seems rather petty and more than a little pathetic. This isn't about Newsom's politics, y'know.
You must have missed the part where I said the MBA doesn't mean she's a genius. Conversely, a Stanford MBA is apparently no accomplishment whatsoever...easily gotten through the batting of one's Barbie-doll lashes and a calculated flip of some plastic blonde hair. Right?
So OK, fine, whatever--you're pretty clearly set in this weird "Veronica Sawyer vs. the Heathers" fantasy you've got going here. It just seems rather petty and more than a little pathetic. Making fun of someone is good sport, sure; it just always comes off so bitter and nasty here, though. This isn't about Newsom's poltics, y'know?
"My love of Africa and my passion for conservation and poverty alleviation throughout the world inspired me to seek out and develop diverse projects that would bring awareness to causes worthier than my own." -Jen Siebel
Now the question is where did her Tiffany diamond come from? We all know diamond imports are controlled to keep costs up so it could have been mined years ago and only brought in recently.
And how many Africans could her $100,000 ring feed? Now that's looking out for a cause worthier than your own!
