Jackin' it in San Diego

Over the past couple of weeks there seems to be a couple of high-profile sex scandals I just can't seem to escape hearing about.  On one hand, there's the story of Anthony Weiner, from what I can tell, is just kind of an idiot, and a little bit of a douche.

He was caught "sexting" pictures of Weiner jr., to a woman other than Mrs. Weiner, and was eventually pressured into resigning from his seat in congress in 2011.  Not letting that deter him, and eager to get his flaccid political career erect again, he decided to toss his junk into the 2013 New York mayoral race.  But forgetting to learn from his past mistakes, he's found himself in the same compromising position once again.  It seems like the camera just loves this mans penis a little too much.  While Weiner hasn't officially dropped out of the race, he now finds himself sunk in 4th place amongst his rival democrats, and it doesn't look like any amount of stroking is going to make his poll rise.  But that's a small hotdog compared to the current mayor of San Diego.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner is being asked to resign over some pretty serious and substantial sexual harassment claims.  It looks like Filner is guilty from everything from inappropriate touching, to requesting female interns not to ware underwear in the office, because, you know, chicks dig being degraded in the workplace.  Oh, that's right, they don't, and so far eight women have stepped forward in filing complaints against this 1930's Betty Boop villain.

And to make matters worse, he's asking the good people of San Diego to pick up the tab in defending him.  His lawyer said in a statement today that the city should pay his legal fees because he did not receive "on the job sexual harassment training".  Isn't it part of his job that he has a grasp of city and state laws?  The mayors office presides over the DA's office, after all.  (And I kind of like to think of the relationship between the mayor and the District attorney like the one between Anthony Garcia and Harvey Dent from "The Dark Knight".)

It's bad enough that he's refusing to step down from office.  His actions make a fool of everyone living in San Diego.  So if that's where you happen to reside, I have a simple request for you all: if you happen to come across a petition outside of your local shopping center to have this man ousted from office, take the 30 seconds it takes to put down your John Hancock, it'll be just as important as signing the Decoration of Independence, trust me.  For now, I think I'm just going to leave you with this video of what this "man" is doing to your beloved city...
