[BAW]

Bye bye Bob. Good riddance.

[catnipman]

“the city ... will provide a joint legal defense in the lawsuit”

WTF???

[RKBA Democrat]

Sad, tragic, and horrible. Who will we poke fun at for the next week?

[Mr. K]

I Hope this is not the end of it. Sue his ass into oblivion.

[hoosiermama]

They’re insurance will pick up the cost no doubt

[Delta Dawn]

de lusion is not a Mexican pastry.

[rocksblues]

a 7-0 vote in closed session that limits his legal and financial exposure

Means the taxpayers are going to be responsible for Mucho Dinero.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

Democrat leaders who knew about this for years, not accountable. Taxpayers picking up the tab for his legal defense. Democrats win again.

[South40]

Insurance will not be paying for this, taxpayers will.

[South40]

As his employer, the city of San Diego is responsible for Filner’s actions while he was/is mayor. So the city will be picking up his legal fees because it is responsible. It has the right to go after him for reimbursement but I doubt that will happen. We’ll see.

[South40]

Means the taxpayers are going to be responsible for Mucho Dinero.

The taxpayers became responsible at the very moment he committed his crimes.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Likely he will
sue the city..,

[SpaceBar]

Filner’s latex parachute.

[Clinging Bitterly]

There was already a recall effort underway which was all but certain to be successful. City should have just let it play out and leave him for the wolves.

But that is Democrats for you. Personal responsibility just goes against the grain with them. Electing him was the voters' fault. Let them pay.

[Standing Wolf]

"Not one allegation ...has even been independently verified or proven in court," he said. "I have never sexually harassed anyone."

Isn't he plagiarizing a Snopes Clinton speech?

[SpaceBar]

Taxpayers picking up the tab for his legal defense.

Ya gotta admit, those dems are devilishly clever. In fact they deserve brownie points for just shear treachery and abyssmal behavior. Taxpayers paying your legal fees. F'ing sweet.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Bob’s rehabilitation starts tomorrow by the Progressives and the MSM. If Slick Willy can be rehabilitated, Touchy Feely Bob can be back in public service very soon. Maybe Slick Willy can use him on the Clinton Global Initiative scam ... he could be the guy up front to “glad handle” the women in the crowds.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Another sleazy DemocRAT bites the dust. Adios Gropemeister.

[NautiNurse]

Filthy Filner: Denial is not a river in Egypt. Perhaps you should take the opportunity to visit Egypt very soon for independent verification.

[Jeff Winston]

The funniest thing about this whole mess was the local San Diego newspaper or TV station that ran an opinion poll trying to determine what percentage of their audience had been inappropriately approached by Bob Filner.
