So... who's on this week's list? Let's bring 'em out!
--Aaron Peskin and Ross Mirkarimi!: Luke Thomas at Fog City Journal reports that Supervisors Peskin and Mirkarimi decided to take advantage of Gavin Newsom's much-touted "open door policy" over at Room 200 of City Hall to discuss the city's crime prevention plan, as well as (possible SFist commenter?) Peter Ragone's statement to the LA Times that "Ross Mirkarimi can't walk and chew gum at the same time."
Peskin told Thomas that the conversation was heated but civil (but conceded that "feelings were hurt") -- but other sources say that the conversation was "a lot of red-faced finger pointing interspersed with well-placed expletives," and concluded when Gavin asked them to leave. Well, it's true that Newsom never specified how the door was open in his open-door policy.
--Tony Hall!: In the same Fog City Journal piece, former Newsom ally and possible 2007 mayoral candidate Tony Hall mentioned that the latest poll results he's seen show Newsom with only a 38% approval rating. Dude, a Bloomberg poll has even George Bush higher than that! (at 39%).
--The GavinWatch blog!: GavinWatch is not only providing all the latest Gavin Newsom YouTube mania (check out the "dialogue" drinking game, along with the Question Time card-stacking footage!), but is keeping much better tabs than we are on Who's! Attacking! Newsom! Now! in their new "Gavin News Roundup" feature.
This weekend's entries include Gavin-blogger Beth Spotswood's triumphant debut on the Chronicle's Culture Blog, Left in SF on the crime rate, and a blogger named SFWillie decrying the Yale singing group beatdown as a failure of feminism because Gavin Newsom is a girl (and then saying, "To call Gavin Newsom 'a woman' is an insult to women everywhere, and I apologize.").
Look out for more Newsom-attacking this Tuesday, when the Board of Supes holds its first official Question Time! Will the chicken suits be coming back? Let us know! Too bad Gavin won't be able to make it, though -- he's off to a glam trip to Davos, Switzerland this week for the 2007 World Economic Forum. The skiing looks good!
