City Attorney Dennis Herrera may want to re-check his political contributors list.

Herrera, a candidate for mayor, released a TV ad this week that links appointed Mayor Ed Lee to Republicans, showing three guys in suits with Republican lapel pins followed by the narrator saying: “Ed Lee’s getting it done for his friends and contributors, not for us.”

Herrera must have graduated from the Leningrad University School of Law.
