During this weekend's state Democratic convention in Sacramento, Gavin Newsom took aim at 71-year-old attorney general Jerry Brown. Newsom, who officially tossed his hat into the gubernatorial ring last week, told the crowd that the race for governor came down to a choice between a "sprint into the future" (i.e., Gav) or "a stroll down memory lane" (i..e, Brown, who earned the moniker "Governor Moonbeam" when he held the job way back in the 1970s). While not directly calling out Brown, who wants the job again in 2010, Newsom went on to say, "We're not a state of memories ... We're a state of dreams. We're Californians. We're not content to relive history. We're going to keep making it." In related news, an advisor for Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, another contender in the Democratic primary for governor, slammed Newsom, saying Villaraigosa would not "Twitter while Rome burns" if he were elected. Ouch.



Antonio Villaraigosa rocks. I don't care if he has a lesbian surname. Respecks. Gavin has some nerve characterizing our next governor Jerry Brown as "a stroll down memory lane" when Gavin is the one wandering to and fro with his old school Brandon from 90210 hair do.
This race should be highly enjoyable. I very much look forward to watching Gavin the Knuckle Dragging Moron pilloried by all the other candidates, each of whom is significantly smarter than his wino, best friend's wife shagging ass.
ANYONE but the hollow-Gav.
PLEASE!
Villarigosa, the man formerly known as Tony Villar, makes a great point. Who wants a governor who can respond to a crisis *and* communicate at the same time?
I'd vote for Villaraigosa based on this comment alone (hey, it's better than voting for someone based on their film career).
yeah, i don't know much about villaraigosa, but jerry will thankfully wipe the street with mr. smarm. gavin is so over-managed that we can't even say that there's any "him" in there. it's all strategy and advisers now.
Memo to Gav: better to grow a spine before you try to play with the big boys. Treating reporters like your bitches and acting like a cunt when anyone asks you a question will only work in a small town with no newspaper (i.e. SF.)
"Twitter while Rome burns"
Oh SNAP.
Villaraigosa FTW.
It's still Brown's race to lose, but it looks like Little Tony has a fastball. And he came to play.
Happy to have a chance to vote for Jerry Brown again ...
"Twitter while Rome burns"
so he's a poet, too?
Good one by the mayor of my old home town, but quite frankly they all suck. Every last one of them. I wish someone worth voting for would run, but then again what else is new (the fluke known as Obama notwithstanding).
I'd take ol Jerry over dirty Gav anyday!
You guys know how much I love Gavin.
I am working on his impeachment as SF Mayor before his candidacy for anything other than busboy at one of his owns establishments gains any traction. And hiring a bunch of coke whores and drunk idiots to cheer does not impress anyone. Really.
Note: My apologies to all of the talented busboys around the world for such a dig.
MOONBEAM.

Mister empty suit...take that.....
Newsom "ACTING LOCALLY" is even funnier now than when I first saw it and spit my PeetBucks coffee on that Chinese lady clipping her toenails on the 30 Stockton - you remember those cute little posters?!
