The face of San Fransoddom
Enjoying a 70% approval rating from your liberal constituency must impact libido. I'm just guessing here. Not having ever enjoyed 70% approval ratings or endured a liberal constituency. Mayor Newsome was probably seduced by more than the beauty of his campaign manager's wife. Who wouldn't be tempted to cross ethical and moral lines with a constituency that forgave Clinton's oval office antics and dismissed Bill's abuse of authority as private behavior.
Think I'm exaggerating the link? Check for yourself. As of 6:30 p.m. EST, the SFgate website poll suggests that better than 40% of voters do not believe Newsome's behavior reveals "a lack of judgement". Yep. More than 4 in 10 believe that it is "simply a private matter". No relationship between private public behavior. So will we be listening to counselors drone on about how everybody cheats, like we did in the Clinton years? How everybody lies? Probably not - those bridges have already been burned. Americans already have such low expectations of each other that many believe the president lied to them and that the CIA orchestrated 9/11.
How long was Rome on the decline?

If Mayor Newsome was a Republican, he would have been villified in the media and the liberal public would have expressed great outrage!
