Race for Lantos’ Seat Begins, Basically Ends

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

even here you can tell that she's really, really shortFormer State Senator Jackie Speier made official yesterday what had already been assumed: she’s running for Congress again.

She’s already lined up endorsements from 93 other elected officials, including San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom. I guess he got engaged to run for a different higher office. [CQ Politics]

Newsom a Little Too Hot to Handle?

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Oooh, is Hillary flirting?San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, best known for marrying gay people and fucking a staffer’s wife, endorsed Hillary this summer, became one of her national campaign co-chairs and will be stumping for her again this week when she comes to Northern California to rake in that sweet, sweet campaign cash.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom: ‘Corrupt Nasal-Drip Child’

Monday, September 24th, 2007

How're YOU doing? - WonketteGavin Newsom is San Francisco’s smarmily handsome alcoholic cult-leader mayor who fucks the wives of his best friends and generally acts like a douchesack, but at least he killed most of the homeless so you can now walk around for half a block without being assaulted by a legless drug addict spewing diarrhea in the street.

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

Watch out! He'll fuck all y'all's wives! - Wonkette
Approximately 1,200 Wonkette readers sent us angry e-mails about our lack of Gavin Newsom coverage. Who’s Gavin Newsom? See, that’s why we ignored this story. Nobody outside of San Francisco knows or cares about Gavin Newsom — that’s because he’s the mayor of San Francisco. His scandal is dull, too: single man has heterosexual affair with colleague’s wife. Yes, he is a crappy friend, but he’s a politician so he doesn’t have real friends, anyway. MORE »
