Gavin's meltdown

[vulturedoors]

Wow his body language at the start of that interview is just BIZARRE. Looking away, fidgeting, like he's about to jump out of his skin. He's got to be on cocaine or speed or something. Either that or he's the worst actor even and can't disguise the fact that he wants to be anywhere but there at that moment.

[silus2000]

Walking away from a reporter pissed off doesn't qualify as a meltdown.... Only in this emasculated American society are we so sensitive to any emotional response... Sad.

[guacamoly723]

I wouldn't call this a meltdown but.....

[05251954]

He is finished.

[Orc123184]

is it just me, or does it look like he is on coke?

[bamagreycoat]

What was all this about? He asked him about Yale students drinking themselves to death but what was it that pissed the Mayor off?

[ATheGreat09]

Yeah..he got pissed. But I'm glad he handled it well.

[Khultan]

South Carolina Mark Sandford recently found out for having an affair, is a public official, a married man and has four children. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, I think, a year ago the news broke out that he had an affair with some manager's wife. Incredible. Simply Incredible. One a Republican that virtually nailed former U.S. president Bill Clinton for it and a city mayor who OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER but for his libido. Both should resign from office. Degenerates.

[peptopro17]

you forgot john edwards

[firedigimon3]

this wasn't even a meltdown. he calmly left and explained why he was angry. it was the reporter who was a dumbass

[littnguy]

a very respectful meltdown. i would expect nothing less from such a dignified rocker..

[XxChevelleFan86xX]

in response to themountainviewguy: gavin newson was elected by the citizens of san francisco, not because of nepotism or "connections", and I would assume any conservative would know how the electorate operates. He has shown initiative in such issues as proposition 8 and the obama campangne. Just because you don't agree with his politics does not mean you can dismiss him as an outstanding politician!

[HuellsJewels]

Outstanding politician? He's mayor of a 1 party-city. Yet the guy was still nearly knocked off by the Greens.

[sellingthemystery]

Poor Gavin, he's only human and means so well.

[Blaspherian666]

yeah RIGHt ..he seems more like a conservative pretending to be a liberal.

[cablecar07]

the mayor is full of shit!

[zabrak999]

no he's not, he's fucking great.

[Blaspherian666]

damn you peoepl need to tak off teh rose colored glasses..alll this man is is a power hungry charlatan..do your research.

[Bumble1022]

dumb

[Bumble1022]

on one hand, the question was kind of inappropriate; on the other hand, gavin newsom is an idiot

[jflash214]

this guy is a real life GOB from arrested development, total moron, oh come on!

[inmyhumble0pinion]

Ahahahahahaha, oh please, that's NOT "flipping out".

[jflash214]

coked out of his gord

[jflash214]

reminds me of christian bale , needs to get off the anabolics

[bigbird9116]

This man will NEVER be elected Governor of California. SF may be able to handle him but the majority of Californians prefer someone who is a real man

[happyguyfawkesday]

Gavin Newsom is the real life Mayor Adam West from Family Guy

[marie819]

How in the Hell does this dope keep getting re-elected. Is there something in the water in California, or what?????????

[Romexmagi69]

It's the hair. That's why Rod Blagojevich could never get elected into any office her.

[themountainviewguy]

That's a good question. He has shown a lack of understanding about issues. He personally blew the 2004 election for the Democrats by marrying gays in SF. He has no character, having an affair with the wife of this campaign manager. The man is a total vapid superficial creep. The way he gets elected is because he is related to Nancy Pelosi, and he had connections. The guy can barely express an idea, he just speaks in buzz words that he probably does not even understand.

[ilovecrap]

I guess he still has a drinking problem! HEY OH!!

[footypunter]

What happened to your good liberal manners Gavin, lol.

[billyguns2]

I hate these g.d. news reporters, only interested ion being provaoctaive and sensationalistic; they don't give a damn about real news, and most of them are just paid shills for the people who own the country. Most of them are also narcissistic nitwits, who couldn't carry on an intelligent conversation. I wish we could take their miicrophones and put them you know where.

[kellyemu]

this reporter is out of line. so many issues he could have brought up in an intelligent manner, though he threw all intellect out the window to ask a question that has nothing to do with this interview. he should be working for star magazine.

[coalcasper]

jim jones was a fraud and so is this douche

[Tynethyne]

He's fanatic hothead that takes things too war.

[Atomsmasher777]

Ha! Good for Newsom.

Reporters ask their questions and take their chances.

Oh well..

[edmaximus]

I think he's does cocaine too - he looked wired there

[shakegentley]

someone got poopie pants, this guy is no more than a bad used car salesman.

[livetime77]

he's a drunk....

[ltsAboutJesus]

OUCH! Looks like your mayor is a little sensitive about his drinking problem! lol

[ebilgreby]

Gavin is a troll, just know for the record it is increasingly impossible to look at his smarmy mug

[8data]

People made their decision to join him, he was a fraud, but that is what happens when you join a cult, which most groups are if you scratch beneath the surface.

I am a secularist-atheist, I respect the aesthetic power of religion and its social programs but disagree with aspects of its organization and practice.

[8data]

his people follow him

[phineastbuster]

8data

Just like Jim Jones. He was from S.F. too.

[8data]

Reverend Jim Jones was from Indiana. He lived in San Francisco before going to South America.

[phineastbuster]

8data

OMG! You give Jim Jones the respect of calling him a Rev. after he did what he did. He was no more a man of God than Stalin. Jones lived in S. F. and Mayor George Mosconi appointed him to a high ranking position in S.F. Jones never went to South America. He went to Central America. How many in accurate facts have you mad in your recent posts.

[8data]

Guyana is next to Venezuela which is in South America.

His title was Reverend.

[phineastbuster]

8data

You think Jim Jones is a man of the Lord? I don't think so and don't tell me he was ordained, I know he was. Being an ordained minister doesn't make you a man of the Lord. I guess you think the deaths of over 900 people makes you a man of the Lord. Glad I don't go to your church.

[efo415]

PLEASE PEOPLE!! im from san francisco and this man has done extrodinary things: free wi-fi in the city, lowered homelessness to 26% with his care not cash program, universal healthcare and preschool, cut worthless spending, and is the greenest mayor in the world. IT WAS A CHEAP SHOT FOR THIS REPORTER TO CONNECT ONE STORY TO A PERSONAL ISSUE TO A MAN ANYWHERE. i dont blame gavin to get up set. He is a realistic idealist that will make a great mayor to california. TRUST ME

[phineastbuster]

You seem to be a FOLLOWER of Gavin Newsome. Just don't drink his cool-aid because he learned from reading about Jim Jones and his doctrine. You know what happened to Jim Jones followers.

[8data]

allright, anything your say about him is allright, but his name is GAVIN NEWSOM, GAVIN NEWSOME is another person, allright pal

so, if you want to say stuff about GAVIN NEWSOM, TYPE

G-A-V-I-N N-E-W-S-O-M

allright, thx

[HolyGhostWarrior]

Also I hope to God he doesn't become my Governor, that would be a scary thing. Same with Diane Feinstein, thank God Pete Wilson won back in 1991.

[FallenMetatron]

Homophobia is synonymous with insecurity.

[JYC987654321]

Gavin = asshole!

[randomkindaguy]

Calling this a "meltdown" is kind of hyperbolic, don't you think?

[bittergunowner12]

This jackass wants to run for Governor, omg he'll be worse then Davis and Ahnuld, then again I hope Ahnuld beats Babs the shrill nagging bitch Boxer.

[WJUStudent]

Newsom is creepy

[phineastbuster]

Gavin Newsom is a drunk. Why doesn't he just admit it and say I'm getting help.

[us4000ad]

Oil drilling is in! Throw Polosi and Democrats out!

[us4000ad]

Fire Newsome!

[DRTYFN]

LOL!!! That's so typical of the elitist left in Frisco.

[caverron]

This disgrace of a mayor wants Gestapo recycling police to monitor trash cans yet will not meet with widow devastated by his sanctuary policy that lead to the death of her family. San Fransisco should fall into the bay if this guy remains in office.

[venman2]

What a piece of crap little Gavin is. As Truman coined, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. How did the people of San Francisco elect such a piece of baggage laden garbage? He makes L.A.'s Mayor Antonio look like a saint.

[phineastbuster]

What an arrogant fool. If the Mayor can't take the heat he shouldn't do the deed.

[soccerdon20]

you get the government that you deserve

[Cindi3847]

Impeach him!

[billheartyface]

man...MobergNixon got SERVED now!

[Stormin1775]

Gavin, the cad. Sleeps with the wife of one of his best friends, while in office. At one time is dating a 19 year old who is seen drinking with him. Now he's just re-married a bimbo actress. I only hope that he gets to experience what it is like and finds out she has been sleeping around on him. This video shows that he is a punk and a crybaby. Boo hoo. San Francisco deserves this dickhead for their mayor.

[Japandrifting]

Here here. Very good. And old Gav think he is fit to be the next governor.

[Seyahhsod]

He would be better than that KOOK we have in their now.

Alnold wants nothing more than to be a member of the tower of power, part of the Illuminati / Rockefeller / Rothschild - Oppenheimer clans.

He dosent give a shit about anything but himself.

Gavin does care about people. SO WHAT if he has issues and problems. WE ALL DO.

Unless you think you are perfect.

[Japandrifting]

Actualy I do think that I am perfect. BTW who is Alnold? Is that english?

[Seyahhsod]

Any fool such as yourself could see that that was at typo and I am speaking of none other than Arnolds Schwarzenegger.

Now why don't you spend some of that energy on doing something productive.

I just raised over $14,000 to donate on research for skin products for people with HIV and HPV with one web site.

What are you doing with your time?

[Japandrifting]

the only fool here is you. lack the abiity to spell correctly. sure you raise money for people with HIV. sure. i win, you lose.

[Seyahhsod]

At least Gavin actually ADMITS he had an affair.

Unlike the current Governor who sexually assaults women, Uses drugs and then lies about it on national television.

I use to like Arnold in the movies but he is not fit to be a moral leader. He does not care about anything but HIMSELF.

A man drives 5 or so hummers and then wants to preach about saving the planet. OH PLEASE.... you people are sheep.

[8data]

Newsom is better than Arnold

he hits the sxids a few times

but i prefer that to a gropeanator

who just pumped himself full of steroids

[Seyahhsod]

(1 of 2)

LETS PUT THIS IN PROSPECTIVE:

We can order a pizza

Get netflix

buy a car

We could give a shit if that pizza boy is a drunk or even picking his ass while the pizza is on its way.

WE JUST WANT HOT PIZZA

We coud give a shit if the person packing our netflix is someone who likes to hire hookers and sucks dokey dicks, we just want our video ON TIME!

We don't give a shit if that car salesman will get fired for quoting the wrong price, we just want THE DEAL!

...(1 of 2)

[bdeguz]

Maybe we'd give a shit if he was pouring beer on the pizza.

[Seyahhsod]

(2 of 2)

I couldn't give a shit less if Arnold felt some whore up

I couldn't give a shit less if Gavin gets liquored up in a dress

I couldn't give a shit less about gay senators and their pages

I CARE IF THE PERSON CAN BE COHERENT ENOUGH TO DO THEIR JOB AND SERVE THE PUBLIC. Serve the public does not mean you should have to become the poster child of morals and the status quo.

Obama did not get where he was by being "mr nice guy" and I would be frightened if he did.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

(2 of 2)

[Blaspherian666]

i know hard to believe he was elected..im in portland...someoen like that would NEVEr get elected here..we have more sense.

[billheartyface]

man...your grasp on history is a bit unique.

[billheartyface]

oh please...find me one third grader who'd just the word petulant!

[billheartyface]

yes "mexicans" you disingenuous twat...I see that all your favorite videos deal with mexican immigration...and you have the nerve to say race has "nothing to do with" it?...pathetic....why do you hate the ideals of america? maybe you should leave? you fluttering, barely literate petulant shithead.

[billheartyface]

ah...the biggest lie of the immigration arguement..."why...it has nothing to do with race" you all say, "it's just a coincidence hispanics are getting beaten by mobs"...maybe you need to look up nationalism too. oh, and exactly how am I a hypocrite?...do you even know what THAT means?...jesus...your grasp of English is pathetic...but I'm betting you are one of those outraged Xenophobes who freak everytime you hear a Spanish speaker aren't you...of course you are...I see what videos you watch!

[billheartyface]

what I love is how you bastards think of yourselves as so superior just because you happened to be born on this side of the border. If you are so interested in law...do you think we should give back the land we stole from Mexico? Or are you only interested in punishing someone who comes over here to make a living? Perhaps laws between nations is a bit to complicated for your simple, nationalistic mind?

[billheartyface]

"of the worst kind"?...please...man, you racists certainly know how to overstate don't you.  I bet you froth when you see an "illegal" dontcha?

[billheartyface]

have you ever stopped to consider why these people are here?...War, poverty, injustice. To call people "illegals", and I think what you really mean are mexicans, Perhaps you need to read up on what our economic policies have done to Mexico. Unless you are Native American I'm sure there is some "illegal" in your family past you arrogant son of a bitch.

[billheartyface]

what you can't seem to admit is these "illegals" are human beings...but you don't dare call them THAT do you? It makes it easier on you doesn't it?

[billheartyface]

of course... the name calling begins...my point being that you mean to paint anyone without citizenship as potential killers...your argument is ridiculously loaded...and your corny "what part of illegal do you not understand" line?...do you watch a lot of movies or what? If the key word is "law" should anyone breaking it be deported. Or is it you just need an "other" to scapegoat for your Bullshit patriotism?

[billheartyface]

well there's a bullshit argument...how about if a citizen killed someone you cared about?...would you want to deport the citizens?

[Cindi3847]

Mayor Newsom had a problem with alcohol and I wish he would be man enough to discuss it. Telling a reporter, because he ask him a legitimate question, that it was a cheap shot and wouldn't respond tells me something about this mayor.

[billheartyface]

by the way....which country did you illegally immigrate from?

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

billheartyface: ha, spelling lecture, lol, so typical...I get paid for my superior intellect, not my TYPING skills, lol. Funny, as I review our posts together, nothing notably original or genuinely funny or creative from you 'cept to call me a redneck and a cracker and repeating back what I say, lol. Face it, we now know you've got nothing, your brain is pseudo elitist mush. Truth hurts, I win. Got AIDS? Bye homo, lol.

[billheartyface]

hey...you spelled pseudo correctly!! I'm so proud...you must get a lot of "spelling lectures" as you call it... but no new AIDS jokes? I'm sure you know a thousand. Come on...why are you holding out on me?...and who is this "we" in your cryptic "we now know you've got nothing"....you don't work for a cabal do you? congratulations on your big win.

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

billheartyface: ha, typical knee-jerk response to call someone a "redneck" - reveals your bigotted and psuedo elitist and mindset. Shame, shame :(

[amileaboveyou]

Mayor Gavin Newsom vowed Sunday to maintain San Francisco as a sanctuary for immigrants and do everything he can to discourage federal authorities from conducting immigration raids.

"I will not allow any of my department heads or anyone associated with this city to cooperate in any way shape or form with these raids," Newsom declared. "We are a sanctuary city, make no mistake about it."

Our country is falling apart because of Liberals like Gavin Newsome!!!

[billheartyface]

You nuts really need to get another scapegoat besides so-called "illegal immigrants". Your hysteria is making your party a laughing stock.

[honestbiz]

Or maybe you're just one of the many who are never satisfied. Maybe the problem is you.

[honestbiz]

Newsome most represents what true leadership is all about. He had nothing to gain and everything to lose taking the stand he did with gay rights, yet he saw the inequity of the system and made a stand. You never see that kind of courage in the US political system. When has Mr. Bush ever tackled the hard issues? Gavin Newsome for President. and by the way his fiancee is a BABE!! good things come to good people.

[MannyOrtez]

you clearly don't live in san francisco

[billheartyface]

yes...."good people" always get "babes".

[Blaspherian666]

oh yeah he had SO much to lose supporting gay rights ina city that is a hardcore gay mecca..right...he sure has YOu fooled..gavin willl say anything to get gays to vote for him.

[honestbiz]

Newsome is a true hero. Amazing courageous man. his record on health care is unequalled and his stand on equal rights puts him right up there with Gandhi. God Bless you Mayor Newsome. Next stop the governor's office

[Blaspherian666]

are yoU SERIOU?you LIKE This douchebag pig mayor ?wow...

[faithdumbvine]

Hey Gavin what's with the Lincoln Continental? Shouldn't you have a stretch Prius? So we should be tolerant of violent illegal alien criminals, but a reporter can't ask a legitimate question about a personal habit that is obviously affecting his ability to think clearly? One last question what's it like to do Kimberly Guilfoyle?

[Thizzmotion]

we should all register as independents

gavin is a good example of an ineffective democrat, a lying democrat, a cheater, a lazy politician. during his two terms in SF he hasn't done ANYTHING for the city.

schools continue to get shittier

lower afterschool program + higher drop out rate = violence on the streets, teens joining gangs

what does he do about the violence? ban guns.. what a great cover up. blame guns, but don't blame yourself, cuz how could it be ur fault that violence increases?

[nkyosr]

he is sooo cool and great

[kassandrasduplex]

Any man who responds in this manner shows hubris and arrogance. Could the fact that Gavin Newsom was a donor to the Bush re-election campaign in 04 sway any of those who think he is God's gift to San Francisco?

[Blaspherian666]

no peoepl in san franscisco are tooo stupid..yeah funny how they say he has found housing for so many homeless...when it si alll lies..yeah..they consider a 30 day bed a t a shelter HOUSINg..whatever..

[kassandrasduplex]

Some years back Harper's Magazine revealed that Gavin Newsom donated $500 personally to the Bush 04 re-election campaign. Newsom is an heir to the Getty oil fortune. He also seems to have a knack of bringing up gay marriage issues during election years when it most benefits Republican candidates.

[Zegon976]

Gavin Newsom is the GREATEST MAYOR IN THE WORLD and any person who wants to confront him should be prepared with a death-wish and a will.

[edwetenhall123]

its not a meltdown is it though?

[sailingfms]

Seriously, Gavin did the right thing. He certainly didn't flip out -- he walked away from the reporter. I would too if a journalist (and I use that term loosely) started prying into my personal life. If he's doing his job and he's doing it well: leave him alone.

[crazytvfan815]

Gavin was 100% right in what he did. I live out here, and I've seen ABC 7's coverage of him. They HATE him.

[bittergunowner12]

I'm glad they HATE him lets keep him out of the Governor's Mansion.

[crazytvfan815]

For once I agree with a conservative, out of the Governor's Mansion and into the White House!

[MasterMark123]

people who hate and put other human beings down are so bloody pathetic brainless and bottom feed on the rest of intelligent society. grow up.find what inner beauty there is left in your souls and join the human race

[erkekler]

OBAMA/NEWSOME IN 2008.

[Airbattleship]

This reporter is constantly bothering him. You can tell that the desire of Channel 7 only wants to attack him. He knows this, which is why he isn't wanting to speak to channel 7

[rahhbert]

God I love Gavin Newsome... I wish he would run for president :].

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

Gavin Newsom is a f'in IDIOT and reprobate - just like MOST of the faggots in San Fran Crisco!

[billheartyface]

love the racist wit. "San Fran Crisco!"...brilliant...did you write that?

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

billheartyface: yup! Funny is money :)

[billheartyface]

how's grade school going for you?

[UeberTueber]

yeah i thought he handled that well.

[mrmondeo]

Newsom is perhaps one of the biggest pimps of our time. This is the one question that this reporter thought would make him an anchor on "primetime". Now, he's like channel 7 who???

[jejjem]

Mayor Newsome so Brilliantly told this asshole to fuck off.... the reporter is typical of how truly pathetic american media has become. It's a JOKE......

[cavemanmanman]

You are 100% right. But the media is just the arm of the vast amount of morons who want to watch this tripe.

[mikedeluco]

there is no meltdown here. he handled a cheap shot by a slimey reporter very well actually. reporter should go to work for the national enquirer because thats about the level of his competence.

[avedron]

nice move FedEx

[firesidechet]

ha ha ha that was great! Newsom's a complete idiot...no wonder he has to hit the sauce, screwing his best friends wife, its probably the only way he can get to sleep.

[2ourettes]

You can't blame him, the reporter was being an ass.

[k3304]

Gavin, Kimberley left you because your a slick spineless snake. Your best friend's wife ??? Your a piece of shit, Mr Slickster

[ggqbc]

thats not a melt down thats a guy telling an asshole to fuck off politely.

[Seyahhsod]

He is the modern day Abraham Lincoln, but I guess you are going to call him a N!gger lover, right? I'm tired of people putting down others because they do something that isn't popular but right. If others were to put the time and energy they use to put down minorities they too could someday be 1/10th as great as Gavin.

[Seyahhsod]

Gavin Newsom is a hero, no matter how much you hate or and no matter how you want to put him down. He is THE MAN! I suppose if he were a hippocrate like Rush Limbaugh and talk about how people shouldn't do rugs while he is going through addiction himself or the president who was busted with coccaine and had a drinking problem.. yeah, uh, him having a slight drinking problem makes him a real asshole there.

[1998disco72]

No just that he is a joke. This had nothing to do with race or sexual orientation. He is an idiot and does not have any thoughts for himself.

[Seyahhsod]

Thats what makes him so beautiful. He has the illusion of not being very deep because he takes controversial issues that everyone is so uptight about and doesn't push is own personal agenda. I'm sure the backlash against him has largely to do with him trying to legalize gay marriage, but no homophobe will ever admit that. They will just continue to try to bring a VERY GOOD MAN down. much like you are doing now.

[Seyahhsod]

Gavin Newsom may have his convictions. But one thing he is not is a Spineless. ••He sees through issues that would not affect him personally••He doesn't mind not being popular for doing what is right••and we all have done something that others may not approve of or may need help yet we want to take down others who may be in the same boat. At least he is getting help for his addiction and not standing around pretending like it doesn't exist.

[k3304]

gavin, get a hooker or something

but your best friend's wife ???

how low can you go, spineless snake !!

[mutualfunmanager]

Only liberals can love him. hahahahaahha. Go to rehab, douchebag!

[flagwaver1969]

There is only one place Gruesome Newsome belongs: the state penitentiary. He sure wipes his nose alot. I'm it has something to do with his coke habit. The only people who support him are communists masquerading as liberals, illegal alien advocates & those financially benefitting from partnership with this scumbag. Time is the avenger, Gavin. You're one sorry S.O.B.!

[BlueMoon3l3b]

he's actually a good guy and even if he did have a drinking problem, he has taken care of it even though he has been through difficult times lately. I really hope he runs for president one day, he would really make an effort to fix this country.

[nlightnd07]

Newsom is a great benefit to San Francisco.

[VolgaTatar2007]

What a stupid reporter! A real scumbag. I'd vote for Gavin Newsom for president. Newsom should run for president.

[GimyGimyGimy]

So the Fag Lover Mayor can't stand the heat?

[Wan2Golf]

Did anyone notice the State Trooper holding the door,if you look closely,his expression is like..."Let's get the hell outta here!"c'mon now,let's go.Body language is worth a 1,058 views.

[Wan2Golf]

Only a thousand views? "It hasn't been a very easy week for you",but I'm still going to ruin you're day today,O.K.?

[mirandafacette]

he's still a great guy and I hope that he will be pres someday!
