wanted: mayor

Whew! That caught me by surprise. How was I to know that the “mayor of San Diego resigning”:http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/11485487.htm would be national news?

My favorite part:

_”Councilman Michael Zucchet, the city’s deputy mayor, will become acting mayor. Zucchet, who faces a federal trial next month for allegedly accepting bribes from the owner of a strip club, defended the mayor as an honorable man whose resignation took courage.”_

I’m relieved to know the city will be in good hands.

    Are you trying to say there’s something wrong with accepting bribes from strip club owners? I challenge you to examine your own background and tell me you’re not guilty of the same. I’m indignant.

    Oh, not at all! I think a sense of continuity is important for San Diego government. If we were to go from a crooked, deceptive mayor to an “honest, open mayor”:http://www.donnafryeformayor.com/, we might not be able to handle the shock. Having an _alleged_ crooked mayor in the interim will help us adjust.

    Oh dear. I’m glad I moved before my OWN strip-club owner bribe-acceptance was made known. My head hurts.

    This just in: Mayoral candidate Donna Frye alleged to have accepted bribes from honest, open strippers in order to keep Dick Murphy out of their clubs.
