#1 My local news mumbled through this for some reason. Very quick, didn't have time to mention which political party.

#2 Bob Filner (D-Asshole). Was a congresscritter (70 years old) for many many years, and didn't realize that only when he was one of 435 assholes, he could blend in. Now he's Da Mayor (since December), and the spotlight has not been kind. Rude, aggressive, arrogant, already in several scandals and now sexual harassment. Stay classy, Bob

#3 San Diego mayor is supposed to be a non-partisan office. But Filner is a donk, a former donk congress critter at that with a nasty reputation for throwing temper tantrums.

What gets me about this episode is the guy seems to think he can ride out the storm. We'll see. He's been a monumental jerk for a long time and has gotten away with it so for. And, in spite of the crocodile tears, I do not believe he suffers from any remorse.

#4 "I do not believe he suffers from any remorse"

Not quite true, EU.

He's sorry he got caught. :-(

#6 ..you just described the Left. Don't get me wrong, they understand "sense of moral responsibility or social conscience". It's something they impose on everyone else but exempt themselves when its their screw ups or, even worse, diminishes their power.

#7 two local Democrat state legislators that supported him - called on him to resign today, and his Chief of Staff resigned before 5PM and tweeted about it. Can you say: "Toxic"?

#8 There are plenty of sociopaths whose who are social, law-abiding, and caring. Just because they lack an ability to feel about the general mass of humanity as the rest of us do -- a lack similar to colour blindness or tone deafness -- does not mean they willingly pursue hurtfulness, criminality, and evil.
