During yesterday's Time magazine breakfast forum in Denver -- a panel discussion -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.
