San Fran Mayor Confesses to… heterosexual affair!

What happened to the days when elected officials, like ex-NJ Governor Jim McGreevy, made announcements of infidelity that were shocking?

Side note – McGreevy filed for divorce today. He cited “irreconcilable differences and my love of man meat” as reasons for the divorce.

Well, I read in the paper today that the mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsome, has confessed to having an affair with the wife of a campaign aide. To be fair, Newsome is young, handsome and powerful, but is that really an appropriate thank you for a successful election campaign:

1) Thanks for the election, now if I could only do something about this erection. Is your wife doing anything?

2) You ever see Braveheart? Well as the mayor I am exercising prima noctae.

3) I am so glad you worked so hard on my campaign. Without you working so hard your wife and I would have never been able to spend time together.

But the real story is how angry San Fransicoans are about the fact. Celebration marches were planned for Mayor to announce that he is a Gay American a la McGreevy, so you can imagine the disappointment when he declared that he slept with an aide’s wife or as they heard, “Sorry, I am just another straight male douchebag.” You mean – no truck stop encounters? What the hell is this – amateur hour?

Some don’t think that this can hurt his re-election because his approval numbers are so high. Let’s just hope he doesn’t wear white after Labor Day.
