Quote of the Day: Kamala Harris On Public Safety

Kamala_inaugural-8222.jpg

During yesterday's Time magazine breakfast forum in Denver -- a panel discussion 7x7-ishly titled "Hot Shots Breakfast" -- our DA Kamala Harris was a featured guest. On a question regarding public safety, here's what she had to say.

"It's not about rehabilitation. It's about public safety...[w]hat Democrats have to do is understand that Republicans have it right" in framing the debate on public safety.

While we appreciate Harris' "blunt" take on crime, we hope she brings this newfangled perspective on crime fighting to the streets of San Francisco upon her return.

In related news, Slate's Mickey Kaus was unimpressed with Mayor Gavin Newsom during the same breakfast, slamming him as "goofily egomaniacal."

Yeah, that seals it. He's the next Governor of California.

OK.....memo to Kamala - try leading by example. You know, like actually doing something other than run for mayor

While my wife was watching the DNC last night while I was reading

Wife: "I think I just saw Newsom."

Me: "Yeah?"

Wife: "He was with a blonde."

Me: "That was him."

Wife: "I mean, I didn't see his face, just the hair."

Me: "That was him."

No matter what happens, we still have the hottest DA outside of TV and the movies. Since I vote based on attractiveness, I think Kamala should be President of the World. Unless, of course, her sister runs against her.

Okay, who kidnapped our Kamala Harris and spoke those sensible words on what to do with criminals? Just kidding ... but I do hope she walks the talk when she gets back.

I spotted Newsom as well, after Bill Clinton got done speaking and they were showing people milling around the stage. I don't think he was wearing the light-blue tie, though!
In other news, is it just me or does Jennifer Siebel look exactly like the Orbit gum "dirty mouth?" girl?
