One day after Gavin's big My Bad moment, the big question is what does this all mean for him, the city, and his reelection bid. After all, as bad as this all sounds, politicians getting caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar falls into the realm of been there, done that.. Willie did it and nobody batted an eye. Guiliani did it and he's considered one of the big contenders for the Republican nomination. Gavin is still popular, the election isn't until November, and this is San Francisco and it's not like he's the only San Francisco politico who did something really stupid. But the one thing that seems to be sticking in everyone's craw, the one thing that could hurt more than anything else, is that he did this to one of his closest aides and friends. As somebody put it (we searched but couldn't find the link), this whole thing could be summed up by this eternal axiom: bros before hos. In other words, Gavin broke one of the cardinal rules of guydom.

So here comes the typical noncommittal stories saying well it could be bad, it might not be so bad. But in light of this and other screw ups, his image has taken a huge hit lately. And hey, there's the NY Times bringing up SFist Gate as one of his recent troubles. We made the NY Times! Of course, they don't mention us by name, but it's still super sweet.

The Chron's editorial wondered what the hell Gavin was thinking while Debra Saunders wishes Gavin would grow up a nd Ken Garcia thinks things are only going to get worse and compares Gavin to Clinton in terms of self-destructive behavior. Actually, Garcia has a point. The Bad Reporter, meanwhile, is hilarious as usual and recasts the infamous "So Best" picture from much happier days.
