San Francisco (AP) -- Mayor Gavin Newsom has temporarily removed from office a San Francisco city supervisor accused of shaking down small business owners having permit problems.

City officials say Newsom replaced Ed Jew on the 11-member Board of Supervisors with Carmen Chu of the mayor's budget office. Jew has been charged in federal court with fraud.

Gavin "Any Twosome" Newsom gets to pick and choose which laws he wants to obey. He also gets to pick and choose which Supervisors he wants.

that doesn’t sound kosher

Carmen Chu 8-?

Newsom’s a dirty anti-Semite!

Jew was the Supervisor who spoke in defense of Michael Savage a month or two ago, when the weasels up there were trying to pass a resolution condemning Savage’s comments on illegal immigration.

I don't know what, if any, religion Jew practices, but he is definitely not a 'Semite.' His grandpap came from China.

Jew chu and gruel. sounds like the beginning of a nursery rhyme...

[Philistone]

I saw his original posters when he was campaigning (His district is in the Outer Sunset). The first ones said “Jew for Supervisor - District 4”.

They were soon partly plastered over by ones similar to the one you posted. Guess early poll results weren’t favorable!

What idiot gave the Mayor of a city the power to suspend a member of the Board of Supervisors?

Shouldn’t he have to wait until Supervisor Jew is actually convicted? Also shouldn’t the whole Board be the ones to expel a member? And finally, if he is replaced shouldn’t they have a special election to choose a replacement or at the least allow his party to name a replacement until the next election, instead of a political opponent who does not reflect the district he represents?

[Ditto]

I’d figure he’d have a real short political career in Dearborn. ;~))

“Jew was the Supervisor who spoke in defense of Michael Savage a month or two ago, when the weasels up there were trying to pass a resolution condemning Savage’s comments on illegal immigration.”

From what I have read Ed’s nickname was Ed “No” ie: he routinely voted against our local circus in their proclamations and silly edicts. This made him a defacto evil conservative. I suspect that is why he was looked at closely. Too bad he had some skeletons in his closet. If he was more of a “Team Player” his troubles would have been hushed up and probably never made it to the press.

He’s PO’d that Jew was the only one who spoke in defense of Savage. Newsom is a typical lieberal tyrant.

Ed Jew is of Chinese origin. Just another spelling variation of the name Chu. Imagine if that fancy shoe brand were called "Jimmy Jew's" instead of "Jimmy Choo's".

"City officials say Newsom replaced Ed Jew on the 11-member Board of Supervisors with Carmen Chu of the mayor's budget office."

Jew, Chu, Choo... break out the allergy meds.

[Revolting cat!]

Tomorrow's headline today:

Jew Chewed, Chu Choosed!
