Watch for Jerry Brown to make some “emergency” appointment of some uber-liberal.

You imply they covered it in the first place.

Many of the “charges” went back when he was a democrat congressman in DC never covered by MSM either.

Of the 18 women, none have gone to the police for criminal charges either so one wonders where the money goes.

That’s not the way it works. The City Council will run things for a while, until there is a special election.

Does Filner have time to establish residency in NY City and run for mayor there?

He will be a great fit with disgraced New Yorkers like The Weiner and Eliot Spitzer.

Now he can be an advisor to zero’s administration, maybe even a new attorney general.

Filner is thinking to himself, “Where did I go wrong?” Look at all the other prominent democrats caught doing disgusting things and they’re still in the news and loved.

“How much is this going to cost the taxpayers?”

Plenty. He probably wants the city to pay for his legal bills and more. Gloria Allred’s clients are/were city employees who claim they were harassed on the job. I would prefer to keep Filner around a while and not give him a dime. Let him go bankrupt paying his own legal bills.

Looks like litigation costs including, but not limited to, potential damages from the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by Irene McCormack Jackson, his former director of communications.

Okay, I haven’t been following this, so I needed to make some assumptions.

The article never mentioned party, so that tells me he’s a Leftist.

But I see Gloria Allred led the charge after him, so that makes me think he was a Republican.

Which is true?

That’s a shame. I enjoy having perverted, corrupt liberals in the spotlight for as long as possible.

Compare the MSM coverage of Filner to how they covered the charges against Herman Cain, and you will see all that you need to know.
