SAN FRANCISCO - Mayor Gavin Newsom said Monday that he plans to seek counseling for alcohol use, following the disclosure that he had an affair with the wife of a trusted aide.
Newsom, 39, said that while "my problems with alcohol are not an excuse for my personal lapses in judgment," he had stopped drinking and wanted professional help staying sober.
"Upon reflection with friends and family this weekend, I have come to the conclusion that I will be a better person without alcohol in my life," Newsom said in a statement.

How Clintonesque.
Hmmm...let's see...aldultery...alcoholism...Now all he has to do is admit an affair with the burly dog-catcher and his poll numbers will be near 100!
Oh, another "demhaber".--Go to rehab when things get sticky and the people love you once again.
I can imagine how any counseling session begins in SF: "So when did the thought come to you that heterosexual sex was normal?"

This crap is giving us garden variety drunks a bad name.
He has to do something. It is San Francisco after all and now that the populace knows he has straight sex he's lost the homosexuel vote there.
Infidelity and alcoholism: what's new in SF?
I thought he was gay for sure.

Dennis Leary said it best.
Not gay, just metro...and in love with the smell of his own farts.
"seek counseling"
Who amongst us DIDN'T see this coming???
"(San Francisco) Mayor who admitted affair seeking counseling"
How abouse seek another job?
Problem is we let the RATS get away with this.
Is he going to rehab or just counselling?
I'm beginning to think that "Rehab" and "Counselling" are just two really hot nightclubs - all thre really cool beautiful people are going.
ha, Hoodie, it's the new "in" place. Disgusting to those who have had real and severe alcohol problems (and those of us who were married to them)
It wasn't me, it was the bottle...
LOL
I keep asking, do a couple of quickies with a drunken woman count as an "affair"?
