Newsom Mainland Watch: Still Munching On Pineapples and Poi

Is Newsom back home yet? Of course not. His ego is bruised -- for Gavin, dropping out of the California gubernatorial race is a bit like losing an Oscar, only not nearly as horrifyingly bad -- so he's drowning his sorrows in a little bit of R&R in the U.S.'s newest state.

While he was supposed to address 5,000 developers, lenders, architects at the Urban Land Institute conference yesterday, he bailed. And today? "Mayor Newsom has no public events scheduled."

Stay strong, mayor. Stay strong.

Supe Carmen Chu will be the city's acting mayor until midnight on Sunday.

The ULI Conference is a big deal for the city. So very sorry, Mr. Mayor that you didn't get your dream job, but you know, San Francisco could have used your attention when you gave a shit a few weeks after your first election.
Recall this joker and find someone intelligent, fairly ethical, and proud to lead one of America's great cities. Let this dilettante go back to bartending where his flaky, empty charm would be useful.

this is democracy for you. on the other hand, if you could go to hawaii, wouldnt you do it?
