The KPBS story, “November Election Spurs Question of How Voters Should Judge Judges,” raises some troubling questions about Ken Gosselin. Another troubling story from a few weeks ago about lying for jury duty is here. From the first story above: Earlier this year, Gosselin told voters he was a Harvard-trained attorney. He actually earned his law degree from the University …
Nathan Fletcher: Dancing on Duane Roth’s Grave
I came across a Fletcher fundraising invite today, hosted at the home of notorious plaintiffs lawyer and convicted felon Bill Lerach. What is most striking is Lerach is the same Lerach who sued the late Fletcher booster Duane Roth’s company, Alliance Pharmaceuticals, and famously said about the suit, “I don’t give a f*** about the merits.” Duane and Ted …
Hello, Nathan? Marti? Sherri?
Still wondering how it is possible that the three dwarfs have yet to call on Filner to resign? Whatever you think of due process, do you really need more info than the three women who’ve stepped forward with detailed accounts to feel some moral obligation to at least call on him to resign and save our city from this international …
Nathan Fletcher: Yet another stab in the back…
Never one to let principle get in the way of ambition, Democrat Nathan Fletcher endorsed Democrat Carol Kim, a labor-backed candidate for San Diego City Council District 6. Shouldn’t be a big deal, Democrat Nathan endorsing a Democrat candidate, right? But one of the other candidates in the race, Mitz Lee, who was once a Republican and is probably an …
Fletcher is MUCH Weaker Than Poll
The 10News/U-T San Diego poll released yesterday paints a happy picture for Nathan Fletcher boosters who would like to believe he is in a strong position to succeed Bob Filner as mayor. But they shouldn’t get too excited. Voters are almost completely unaware that he made the full conversion to Democrat and are basing their opinions on the belief that …
Draft Nathan?
That is really rich. What’s richest is that liberal downtownies who still haven’t figured out that he’s a vapid airbag, convened a meeting yesterday to discuss a “draft” effort. Only why draft someone who has been calling around building support for his already planned candidacy? One of the recipients said that Nathan was even copied on an email organizing the …
Enabler Watch
Another day in the unfolding Filner saga. It’s been 6 days since the Enabling Trio called for Mayor Filner’s resignation. It’s been 5 days since Marti Emerald called the Mayor “courageous.” While there’s a growing consensus among Democrats and Republicans that Filner should resign, let’s see the Democrat scorecard on those calling for the resignation: Resign Congresswoman Susan Davis Assembly …
VOSD Breaks New Filner Extortion Scheme
Credit where credit is due: VOSD broke an important story on Filner trading political favor in exchange for a 6-figure payment. The project, known as Centrepoint, was plagued by Filner’s refusals to grant necessary permits and chatter about the hold-ups was well-known in City Hall circles. Seems Mayor Filner (and co-extortionist Marti Emerald) found himself much more amenable to the …
VOSD: The voters’ will is not mandatory
Yesterday, six members of the San Diego City Council supported a resolution offered by Councilmember Kevin Faulconer, reaffirming the City’s support of managed competition. If memory serves me, the proposition for managed comp garnered around 60% of the vote. That was seven years ago and in the subsequent years, only 5 projects have been subjected to the process, saving the …
So Now We Know What’s Important to VOSD
The VOSD, which doesn’t normally do a whole lot on federal issues or campaigns, did decide to opine on Carl DeMaio’s candidacy for Congress. But what was their focus? They seem very upset that the candidate for Congress who happens to be gay refuses to be the Gay Candidate for Congress. I know it’s hard to be a leftist…you know, …
Who are the 57%?
Only 43% of San Diegans disapprove of Mayor Filner? Who are the 57%? Several of them work at VOSD…the “media outlet” that takes 90% of its content from other news sources and repackages it for their readers. Guess what they left out today? Oh ya, the UT article on Filner’s bad poll numbers.
How long can Filner insanity continue?
Downtown insiders have been grumbling about Mayor Bob Filner’s outlandish behavior even before he took the Oath of Office. For those that know Filner, there’s little that is surprising…aside from how it can actually get worse from week-to-week. As a member of Congress, the collateral damage he could inflict was limited given he was only 1 of 435. But now, …
