San Fran mayor Gavin Newsom for governor?
While the Chronicle’s been covering San Francisco’s Honduran crack dealer municipal shuttle service, they’ve also spared some space to write about the gubernatorial ambitions of San Fran’s mayor. Gavin Newsom thinks he’s got what it takes to succeed the Governator.
Jerry Brown–”Governor Moonbeam”–is the front runner right now, believe it or not. Mayor Villaraigosa of LA is on the list as well. For Newsom to get past them he’s going to have to explain away this ridiculous illegal alien drug-dealer ferry service the city’s been running on his watch.
Looks like his strategy for doing that is a big, clumsy, transparent buck-passing:
With his handpicked juvenile probation chief at his side, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said today that he is powerless to order that the city turn over underage illegal immigrant criminals to federal officials for deportation.
Instead, Newsom said at a City Hall news conference, the question of what to do with illegal immigrant minors who deal drugs and commit other crimes is one for juvenile court judges, the district attorney and public defender to sort out.
There’s just nothing you can do about this problem, Mayor? Well, you’re not particularly effective, are you? Even liberals aren’t buying his dodge. The Chronic’s front page includes this comment from reader “jacobin”:
Gavin (Newsom) and company have given the right-wing frothers some more “San Francisco values” to rant about. I wonder if he stays up at night thinking of ways to make elections harder for the Democratic Party.
Mmm….actually, jacobin, I don’t think that’s what Mayor Smoove stays up at night doing. But I do appreciate the San-Fran values rant-fodder. Palomino!
P.S. If you want some good news out of California, Tom McClintock’s running for Congress.

MORE: Here’s a nice little video of Mayor Smoove dealing with the press. It’s from a (sadly abandoned) blog called Gavin Watch:
He’s soooo oleaginous. If you could refine Gavin Newsom, we wouldn’t have to drill in ANWR.
Thanks to Goldwater Knight for pointing me there.

Im glad I dont live in California. Id have to move out of that freaky deaky state by now. Jerry Brown the front runner????? LMAO!!!!!!!!! Doesnt get too much sadder than that; save for Vermont. Even NY isn’t quite that mucked up yet.
One serial philanderer from a weirdo city running against another serial philanderer from LA.
Should be fun.
Let the insults, accusations, and belittling begin, a la, Hillary vs Obambi style.
Rusty,
You’re idea of a hero is someone who circumvents the law and the will of the majority (the key principle behind democracy) and when it’s covered by the noble people on FOX, he attacks them?
Osama bin-laden is a hero to many Islamists and neo-Nazis. What’s the difference?
LGM:
The Huffington Post? You’ve got to be joking.
You must have a better source on the issue that than, and I’m willing to bet that McCain HIMSELF has no connection.
It’s also interesting that you didn’t talk about his sympathy to La Raza. They are a racial supremacy group, but haven’t blown up anything yet.
