Talk To Abused Husbands (Because The Cheaters Always Lie)

California's excelling at exporting sleaziness - or did we import it?

"During the governor’s campaign, his rivals brought up one of the darkest chapters of his personal and political history — the 2005 consensual affair he had with a woman who worked for him at City Hall and was the wife of his campaign manager.

'If you can’t trust Gavin with your best friend’s wife,' [Republican Travis Allen] said at one debate, 'how can you trust him with the state?'

But Newsom, now the father of four children with his second wife, filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, parried the attack, saying he had apologized at the time and 'learned an enormous amount' from the scandal. Helping him politically was that Ruby Rippey Gibney, the woman he had the affair with, said their liaison was not an example of a #MeToo moment."

How convenient - Fuck the cheaters - Where's the husband they all cheated on? Let's get his take on all this power-grabbing Newsom has "learned an enormous amount" from. (I bet he didn't "learn" it from him.) As a matter of fact, let's see a news show featuring him - and the former husband of Emmanuelle Macron's "wife" - and get their takes on the actions and fortunes of these repulsive creatures who insist on staying in their faces as admired public icons. Now THAT would be television worth watching.

Funny, how an (otherwise) insatiable news media can't seem to make anything extolling integrity happen,...

So Fine

"SF'ers need to be grateful that, while beggars and homeless are on every corner, gun homicides are a daily occurence, and getting a bus on time is only a memory, the Newsoms have avoided all the mess about living here by going shopping!"
