The “mainstream media” continues to exploit the post election fears of a country afraid of itself, the latest example, a Newsweek piece attempting to define Nancy Pelosi, our city and it’s politics for an apparently aghast national audience. Headlined : Pelosi and San Francisco’s Loony Left, A City Ripe For Satire, it’s featured in the current issue. Among the quotes is the always appropriate John Burton, who offers a description of Pelosi that will no doubt endear her to the heartland

“She’s no kook. She’s an Italian-Catholic grandmother who goes to church every f—–g Sunday.”

Then we get the image of the poor mayor whose pompadoured hair is going gray, and seems embarrassed by the city’s left leaning streak, lately for banning JR ROTC.

Asked about the school board decision, Newsom buried his face in his hands. “Here we go again,” Newsom responded, obviously exasperated. “This is exactly the kind of thing that is fun for people outside the city to cover, but it does generate a terrible message.”
