[10NEWS] In a news conference Friday, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner said he plans to take two weeks off for therapy."On August 5, I will be entering a counseling clinic to undergo two weeks of intensive therapy," Filner announced.
As soon as he made that remark, a sound system failure occurred and the mayor was unable to continue. He stood at the podium for a couple of minutes and waited to see if the problem could be resolved.
It could not, so Filner left. He returned a few minutes later and told those in attendance that he would restart his statement.
"I must take responsibility," the mayor said, calling his behavior inexcusable. "I apologize to the people of San Diego."
