Gavin Newsome thinks he is God's gift to the camera. I agree with Tonygem, Newsome is not only a hypocrite, he's the biggest phony on gods green earth. It was Newsome who lost it for No on Prop 8. If he would have just shut the fuck up, we would be better off..........
without Gavin Newsom, there wouldn't have even been a Prop 8. Gavin Newsom fought tirelessly for gay rights, and brought forward the debate over gay rights. Gavin Newsom isn't perfect, but he is a hero to many.
Look I feel bitter when you don't give the respect the Mayor Gavin deserves. We elected this mayor, only after we were FED up with Mayor Willie Brown. Does that ring logic into your ears, iam501dsr? Plus I think the current mayor is doing a very good job than the previous mayor. parsay, would you rather have Mayor Willie Brown to continue as San Francisco's Mayor????
Oh sure Willie and ballot boxes in the bay ring a bell. Is Gavo doing a better job than Willie? Maybe, but the difference is hardly discernable to human perceptions. Gavin has tasked himself to being a moral crusader. That sounds great, but what does that get us? Illegals that should be long gone get to stay to commit homicides, officers are STILL suspended over 1000 days later. But why should I shout you down? I would be much more interested to hear why in particular you support Mr. Newsom.
Gavo and Heather hung 7 officers out to dry. Their punishment doesn't fit what they describe as an offense. The offense? Officers proving that they have a sense of humor still. And you better thank God that they do. It means they're still sane - thank God Gavo and Heather put an end to sanity! This would be the start of my distrust of both, but I don't have the space to list other reasons I cannot stand either. As for Harvey Milk and George Moscone, no one deserves what happened to them.
I was wondering what would happen have not the worthless hypocrite in San Francisco's history Dan White killed two innocent legends George Moscone and Harvey Milk! You guys are giving me the worst headache of my life. Please leave Gavin Newsom alone.
Mayor Newsom showed up at SFGH drunk the night a San Francisco Police Officer was killed (Officer Bryan Tuvera). In an outrage he tries to "pickup" on a woman officer staring at her breasts and hugging her while slipping his card into her pocket. Then he goes to Bryan's mom in a drunken rage hugs her and say's Im sorry forgetting the officer's name right after he gave his life. Good job Gavin you shit.
I would just like to quote Senator Barbara Boxer "This is the closest to a dictator we have ever had as a leader". She was talking about Mayor Nuisance, wasn't she?!?! ;O)
I hope you have enough logic to not compare our beloved mayor to the former president Bill Clinton. Its a shame when you are using your judgement to paint our mayor as unflattering. Forget what ever harm he has done in the past and get with it in the present. He's our mayor and nothing will change our views of him.
See Fridays Chronicle 3/2/7. "Newsom praises Alex Tourk". Can anyone else believe this hypocrit is actually PAYING the salary of his former friend and campaign manager after visiting Alex's wife's holiest of holiest places while she was an alcoholic? Deeply sorry. So Sorry...I got caught?
If only you lived your life as a mere citizen, you would know about what I'm saying, but you're not, you obviously don't get it. Go ahead and beat your chest.
You are right on. What a hack Gavin is, the only thing really strange is that he was not caught boinking Tom Ammino's man. Oh and I love the stupid comments from the "citizens" who hate the police so much. I still will respond to your house when you call to help you despite your hate. But if you don't like what we do then join the department to change it, oh but you will have to stop smoking dope first.
Venniey, this is why it is questionable to make comments if you aren't aware. The morale that needed to be lifted was because earlier that year Officer Issaac Espinoza was murdered at point blank range as he stepped out of his car. Additionally, as long as we are speaking about the job this mayor has done, and not his sexual deviations...how about the fact that more SFPD officers have died on Mayor Newsom's watch than since the days of Civil Rights Riots.
The video helped them get over a felloe policeman's death. That's the way to honor him. Poo! That's disrespect. I don't ingest dope, apparently I'm writing TO dopes. Why does brutal police attract all these guys swooning how great they are? It takes a real man to do that work and not lose their humanity. Why applaud when they do lose it?
i live in SF, and I could really care less if he had an affair or if he spoke out against that video! All this media attention has nothing to do with the job done... the proof will be in his re-election, which no doubt will be an easy victory for him... whether i believe he is the right mayor for my city, remains to be seen.. but i gaurantee none of this scrutiny has any affect on me or the majority of voters in this city.... <yawn>
Sure, Newsom's diddling an employee was bad judgment but should have been left as a private matter, a la Bill Clinton and Monica. Cops having plenty of time on their hands and using public property and taxpayer's time to make films making fun of homeless, trannies, and racial minorities: that's wrong on many levels.
Thank you. The kicker for me re the police videos, was not the content but that the were cops were ignorant enough to be in it, exposed for what they are. I would have fired them for stupidity. The Yale singers called the cops, how did it serve them?
Vennley, do you understand that the police video was done as a spoof of themselves for an internal party? Poor taste ok, but it IS San Francisco. We really don't care who or what you sleep with, AND we have sense of humors. The hypocrisy of Newsom on this "dark day" is teethgrinding, and he owes the police department and the city another apology for overreacting, even if he was drinking
Yes I know it was claimed to be a "morale builder". Strange what motivates some people. Very low mentality stuff. And apparently lots of people do care who the mayor slept with?!
Love, Love, Love your work Andrew. This might be your best video yet...please, please, please let me download it. Has Hollywood called yet? Working with you on this kind of stuff would be rewarding. Let me know if you ever need any help. The leadership of SF is rife with hypocrites. The material must be never-ending. How about a follow up video showing a mock trial of the sexual harrassment suit that is sure to follow?
I think the point is that at the same time that the mayor went on his tirade about his morals and high standards "for all of us", he was boning down his best friends wife who happened to also be his subordinate in the workplace. Pots and kettles. He should have more sympathy for the "lapse in judgement" of others. Don't be surprised when Ruby files a harassment law suit
Whose actions could be more harmful to me? The answer is, the cops! They have a gun, power of the badge and whole bad crew to cover for him. Look what happened with the Yale singers, SF cops checked the list of the people involved, saw the SF bums were in promenent SF families and didn't do damn thing till someone with clout back east forced an investigation. The cops who pull women over and try in intimidate them into having sex, many accurate nasty stories. Give me Gavin anyday.
Are you a local, even more so, are you a native. Who are you to say what is good for my City? I would like to know. I know if you find yourself in trouble, you will call the cops and pray they arrive asap. If you call the mayor for help, you will only get a busy signal because he is banging his best friend's wife.
Which is worse, a drinking, boinking your friend's wife, mayor or corrupt cops (badge,gun and badboy's club)that abuse anyone who is not on the elite list? Awful isn't it, and we get both. Well I would rather have the former than the latter and god knows corrupt cops are here to stay! Peace officers my foot!
MC Powder, excellent video! Several people have commented that Newsom is his own worst enemy and this video is proof positive. In the age of TIVO, YouTube and blogs, politicians are learning the hard way that they have to watch what they say in public.
Btw, read the SF Weekly article a few weeks ago, hope you and your co-workers are reinstated soon. Thanks for the video.
Oh for the love of GOD - I don't care who he f*cks as long as they are both adults. This is just some redneck lame-ass attempt to swip at San Francisco.
You are missing the real issue. It is that he betrayed his best friend and closest confidante. Alex Tourk has ran City Hall these past few years, not party boy Newsom. City Hall now stands still, and Tourk knows where all the skeleton's are buried.

This is quid pro quo sexual harrassment because Ruby reported directly to Newsom. Monica did not. You can only compare Clinton if you want to allege he bonked Tipper.
There are several postings here from ignorant (pdweinroth-try waking up), offensive (victor1925, ooomgod-very classy) and downright stupid (diamondtothel-buy a dictionary, moron, you can't commit adultery by yourself) individuals that should provide some clue as to why this town is now the laughing stock of the globe.
Karma is real! What's next? Does he have a sexual addiction too? It is called Morals. He is political toast outside of SF forever. Another Golden Boy bites the dust. BTW why did KG & Galvin break up? Hummm
While we can all agree that the mayor's behavior was totally wrong, he did not commit adultery. Ruby Tourk did. Get off your high horse. Your "Cops Gone Wild" video was shameful and despicable and you deserved to be punished for it.
Ha,ha,ha,,,, How does it feel, chumps when you don't get away with fucking someone!!!
