SAN DIEGO (AP) — The week began with news that Mayor Bob Filner's fiancee ended their engagement and, by Friday, San Diego's first Democratic leader in 20 years was desperately trying to stay in office amid sexual harassment allegations made public by some of his closest supporters. He apologized, promised to change and begged voters to let him keep his job.
The rapid-fire developments put heavy scrutiny on the personal foibles of Filner, a feisty liberal who was elected in November after 10 terms in Congress marked perhaps most famously by a 2007 run-in with a United Airlines baggage handler at Dulles International Airport that resulted in him pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of trespassing.

OH, well, I don’t know about THAT!
Yeah, he used that as a stepping stone to an elected position on the San Diego school district. From there to congress.
Do I really have to explain the photoshop you’re drunk meme?

I guess so because I have no idea what you are talking about nor do I understand why you would think I would.
Perfect oppertunity for the GOP to use the War on Women on the Democrats
The Democrat voters are shrugging.
Just keep the “free stuff” coming and the Democrat moocher base could care less how corrupt and creepy their man is.
If they’re surprised at anything, it’s that the creep is probably not a faggot.
(shrug)
Bob wouldn't be the first sitting mayor replaced mid-term in San Diego, not even the first this century.
He needs to go. As a native San Diegan, it's still shocking to me he was elected.
They’re not that smart.
He's a flat out communist and has been raised one from birth!
I think the only reason he won the election is because his republican opponent is queer!
With such a large gay population one would think a sodomite would do well in San Diego politics. It sure didn't hurt Bonnie Dumonis. But I guess conservatives could not bring themselves to vote for DeMaio even if doing so would have kept the train wreck Filner from getting elected.
Smiling Bob
I always wondered where he worked.

A couple years ago some of his fellow RAT’s complained to the head of the RATs in SAn Diego that Filner was herassing women, but they were told to go away and endorse him..for the good of the party. They did, but now some new people are lodging complaints.
And, yes, that is one creepy picture. Any normal person who saw that smile would put their guard up.

I’m curious about that also. The english is so mangled it looks like some kind of `all your printer are belong to us’ thing. Please do tell?
(We actually had someone hack our HP printers and put INSERT FIVE CENTS on the display. The sysops had neglected to change the default PWs.)

Jerry Sanders mistaken for the UGLY Filner!
That’s not a mistake! That was done on purpose!
Yes, the state run media can never be trusted and this is a perfect example as to why.
Great thing that now he can’t show his face in public.
