(CNN) -- This is the day San Diego Mayor Bob Filner enters a behavior counseling clinic for two weeks of what he describes as intensive therapy.
The 70-year-old is battling a tide of sexual harrassment allegations, and is hoping that voluntarily subjecting himself to the counseling will quell the mounting calls for his resignation.
He has repeatedly said he'll not leave the office he was elected to barely eight months ago.
San Diego's city charter does not require him to appoint an interim mayor during his temporary absence.
His decision is unlikely to appease his opponents.

After he receives his “treatment,” Filner is in need of education. As Filner has never been given training regarding sexual harassment, it’s imperative that when he does go to training, he should also receive information of why it’s bad to molest children, and to rob banks, also he should find out it is a bad thing to kill people.

Does the “counseling” involve shakra release? Is it held in Thailand? Algore might be willing to join him for the class. Shoot, if we could get Weiner in, it could be an all-Dem class.

What about his spiritual adviser. How can his advisers not get him a spiritual adviser? Even I know he needs one and I haven’t even taken the “how to handle a scandal” course.

Meanwhile, in news from the other coast, Weiner was at an Ecuadorean pride rally in NYC where they were shouting, “Carlos, Carlos!”

My “counsel” is that he resign and place him self in a “home”.

All I can say is...this guy’s father must have been a real piece of work!
So much of my dad’s efforts at rearing his sons revolved around the proper treatment of women.

How would we know he’s a demonrat? The article never once mentions the party affiliation of the perv.
