You have to love this.

“Being a hedonist is not a disability in San Francisco,” Brown told NEWSWEEK. “That’s what the city is all about. You can get loaded every single night of the week, and as long as you show up crisp and ready for work each morning, that’s what people care about.”

(Note: this is in reference to Brown having a child out of wedlock, but Newsweek quotes this in an article on Gavin.)

So I thought I’d write about some of the funny responses to the Gavin news.

My sister and Lauren both commented on how Willie Brown gave that classic quote in Newsweek, including Newsweek, that made SF sound like a hedonistic cesspool. My response was that at least he got printed- showing how savvy Da Mayor is about media. He made the same point we’re all trying to make too- that it’s just not a big f-ing deal, and irrelevant to his job (imho).

Doctor in the ER looks at the printout of Newsweek’s article on Gavin Newsom, and, kid you not, has no idea who he is. “I don’t have a life, I know.” she replies.

Another friend’s response is perhaps the funniest: “My thing about this Gavin thing is that: hello, there are lots of attractive women (and men) in SF who are like, hello! We’re right here! No need to sleep with your friend’s wife!”
