Why?

If the mayor is being sued over official actions as part of his job, or sued over actions of the city government, the discussion of who pays legal bills is very different than this situation.

In this situation, he is personally accused of various actions, actions which are not part of his official duties or part of actions of the city government. Do Democrats see the difference??

Wow he looks like the guy that used to be on Law & Order, that died a couple of years ago.
He looks like an old lech. I heard what he did to those women and just can’t understand why they didn’t tell him.....get your friggen hands off me.....and then deck him.
I know all women are different but I have NEVER put up with that crap from anyone, and I worked in night clubs for 20 years.

According to VP Biden it's our Patriotic Duty to pay taxes.

Well, what could be more "patriotic" than paying taxes for Filner's legal fees?

Typical democrat arrogance. The liberal ruling elite wants to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, with our money, and then it spits on us.
