pahunkboy -> Mayor Gavin Newsom, a sad day! (2/6/2007 10:42:09 AM)
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2853127&page=1 Mayor Gavin Newsom, mayor of San Francisco; who IMO is a hero- is in some deep shtt. 1st he steps out on his wife- now he is seeking treatment for drinking. [alcoholism] His dynamic charm, and his bold political decree- that allowed gay marriages in San Francisco, set him apart from the pack. This guy is charming inteligent- and had a future in national political office. [even if you oppose gay marriage] When this guy gives a speach it is awe inspiring. He gave alot of folks like me hope- in a depressing era- of neocon rule. In a day where there are not alot of heros, it sure hits me as a sad day. :-(

Well I just wonder if he hadn't been drunk and so anxious to get some stray gap, if he woulda signed gay legislation before he read it------ LOL........ That's the problem when posts like this are made Hunky, it goes straight to hell in a handbasket---as Marilyn Chambers said when masturbating the parrot---- It's just another act. John Holmes

John Holmes Ild surmise a huge % of lawmakers are under the influence at key times. IMO- few if any read the legislation they sign PS- I still have the parrot.

Exactly! It is just easier to blame the booze when you get caught, than to blame your stupidity. ~poe

As far as mayors go Chicago elected a mayor who served time in jail. Harold Washington. [80s] Marion Barry of DC was re-electic despite being filmed by the feds doing crack. Current mayor Daley of Chicago- "tries" to be inclusive. I dont blame him for refusing to break the law. The Illinois constitution defines marriage as between a man and a woman- this goes back to the 1800s that the constitution was codified.

His wife is a beautiful woman. Last I heard she was an attorney.

He truly was/is a rising star on the national stage. being good looking doesnt hurt. My guess is that he will be re-elected as mayor- but on the national stage, he is damaged merchandize. They never really did solve the Harvey Milk slaying. Often you find- with minds that think out side of the box- a high libido- and alcohol/drug use. Now more then ever we need hope in this country- and to harmonize that we can not survive as an island. The world is now interconnected like never before. I admire the folks who took to the streets in Seatle, Miami, Rio, and other venues where the ruling elite is planning their complete and total takeover of we the peons. Many are afraid to speak up, or post or get too involved as they need their jobs.

If you want to fuck someone other than your mate (unless you have clear permission)...get a divorce. It's pretty simple shit. Don't hurt the one you love. More particularly...don't hurt those you said you'd protect (in heart, and in fact). And don't lie. (It actually can be done...it just requires a little thing called "integrity").

Minnisota did a version of what you suggest- electing a wrester- as governor- Jesse Ventuuuuura was it?
