This is becoming SOP. And an absolute joke.

Someone makes a gay slur and gets caught - enter rehab.

Have an affair on wife - enter rehab.

Make anti-semitic comments - enter rehab.

This is surprising since Newsom already attends Gay A meetings to enhance his sensitivity.

His girlfriend Jennifer Siebel gave a television interview today in which she said she had known about Newsom's affair with Tourk's wife.

Doesn't seem like a smart move on her part to be making any public comments about that.

It's the universal DemonRAT "get out of jail free" card. The closest comparable thing the pubbies have is the "I resign" card.

Now if he were in Texas and got caught he could be dead. Betraying your best friend and then running off to rehab is absolutely disgusting.
If you can't stand by your best friend with honesty and integrity how does anyone think he will be honorable or honest enough to be Mayor? I forgot, those traits aren't necessary in Frisco. This moron has no brains or he would be too humiliated to hold his head up in public. Anyone who treats his best friend like this is total slime and should not be trusted with anything.

I agree, about Newsome and about a majority of SF voters.
