Gavin Just Can't Stay Out of Trouble

He was married to the incredibly hot Fox-TV news anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle who managed to get him into a lot of trouble. They split up after he'd been in office just two years.

Then he was dating a teenaged restaurant hostess who allegedly was guilty of underage drinking.

And just a few days ago his chief press deputy was outed for doing some anonyblogging on local blogs. Peter Ragone later admitted to the postings but said he was ghostwriting for a friend.

Just went it couldn't get any worse, San Francisco's own Mayor McHottie - Gavin Newsom - finds himself in hot water yet again.

Denizens of the City by the Bay are burning up the phone lines and blogs with the stories of Gavin's latest affair - that with his campaign manager's wife - Ruby Rippey-Tourk - who was also an employee of Newsom's office.

Gavin isn't even done with his first term and during that time he's gotten divorced, set the case for gay marriage back ten years, seen his ex-wife remarry and have a kid as well as all of the above. Gavin is up for re-election this year and its anyone's guess if he's going to get a second term.

It doesn't get any more fun than this!

Mayor Sam is looking for a San Francisco based writer who is in the know with the local political scene in the Bay area. If you want to join the Mayor Sam team please send an email with your contact information to mayorsamyorty@aol.com.

Gavin is the most handsome politician and a lot of people are giving him credit for being a man and standing up being accountable for what he did. He admitted wrong, apologized and is moving on. Who cares? Look at the clown we have as mayor of LA. He doesn't have looks, is short, smelly, and looks greasy. Any woman who would go with Antonio has to be desperate.

Come on, Gavin screwed his friend's wife. What kind of a world do you live in? He apologized only after being exposed. What would you expect him to do, claim she was a great piece of ass?

CONGRATULATIONS MAYOR SAM. Even though the LA Slimes didn't name this blog we know "a local blog" was Mayor Sam. Villaraigosa obviously have his people reading.

L.A. MAYOR DENIES HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE SPLIT UP..Antonio Villaraigosa concedes strains but says he and his family are living at the mayoral mansion...LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa denied Thursday a recent report on a local blog that said his marriage to Corina Villaraigosa was "kaput" and that he and his wife had separated...The report, which first appeared on lukeford.net, was "absolutely not true," Villaraigosa said. "We are not separated."...Although the mayor declined to discuss his marriage in detail, he conceded that there had been strains. He and his wife have been married since 1987 and weathered a lengthy separation after it was revealed that he had had an affair.

"In a 20-year marriage, there are many ups and downs," Villaraigosa said during an interview Thursday evening at Getty House, the mayor's official residence in Windsor Square. His wife was not home at the time. He added that "the strains of a job that I put everything into … can add to that."...Still, Villaraigosa emphasized that he and his family remain together. "All of us are living here," he said...Others close to the mayor said they have been to Getty House in recent weeks and confirmed that his wife was there. And though the two rarely appear in public together, Villaraigosa said they did give some joint interviews in December.

Rumors about the marriage appear to have been fueled by the fact that he has not worn his wedding ring recently, an observation cited in the blog item. Aides said Villaraigosa, who has lost weight, stopped wearing the ring because it was slipping off. On Thursday, he was wearing it.


We all know this is a load of shit. Let's see if the LA reporters have the guts to report all of Villaraigosa's affairs that everyone in the city knows about.

Parke, nice of you to stick that 20 year marriage quote in Tony's rebuttal. Tony would never have thought of that on his own. Then again, having L.A. Times reporters acting as your PR firm is also a nice touch. But out of twenty years, only a handful was actual matrimony. Tony cheated on Corina first chance he got, not even two months into his marriage - and he has kept up that pace ever since.

Corina, you should have gone with your first instincts when you called off the first wedding - either that or listen to your mom.

Althought there are much similarities between Gavin and Tony - being that they both screwed their friend's wife and broke up happy homes - Gavin doesn't portray himself to be a family man the way Skelton has painted Tony to be.

There are a few things to consider here.

The bloggers here are correct in that there is not a direct comparison between Gavin and Antonio. Antonio is a married man and uses his family status in his campaigns. If he had an affair its a different story.

However that doesn't take Gavin off the hook. He had an illicit, secret affair with his campaign manager and best friend's wife. That's pretty shitty. If she was just some single woman, different story (though no matter who Gavin is doing it gets tougues wagging). Also another area of concern, as noted by Rob Marinko this morning, is that the woman was allegedly a drug and/or alcohol abuser who is now in rehab. Some could say that Gavin took advantage of a woman who was in a vulnerable place, dealing with abuse and apparently a troubled marriage. Another major area of concern is that the woman was a subordinate of Gavin's. With sexual harrassment laws and such Gavin put the City and County of San Francisco at considerable risk. For that reason alone Gavin should probably resign.

Also as noted by Doug McIntyre its amusing that photoraigosa is getting into this story, deathly afraid of his potential gubernatorial rival Newsom getting more press, saying "Hey me too! I had an affair!"

You can't blame Gavin for a woman'sdecision to have the affair. She needs to take responsibility as well. This won't hurt Gavin because he is very popular, gorgeous, has charisma and did the manly courgeous thing to admit it without hiding. Too bad we can't say the same for Antonio.

His campaign manager showed a lot of class with his statement. Again I can't see anyone in this city having any class like this.
..."Tourk explained he was leaving his campaign job for personal reasons. He said it had been "an honor and a privilege to serve the Newsom campaigns and the city of San Francisco and its residents."

Sure you can't blame Gavin but Mayor Sam is right he's in a position of public trust and he's her superior officer. He was risking a lawsuit bigger than the the dog food case.
