Filner Scorecard thus far:
- 8 prominent, accomplished, executive women have come forward to accuse Filner of harassment.
- 2 FBI ongoing investigations looking into Filner’s demands for six figure pay-to-play.
- More and more questions as to who paid for Filner’s trip to Paris, and what city business might have necessitated that trip?
- San Diego Tourist Board out of money because of hissy fit Filner threw to extract some of that tourist fund for use elsewhere in the San Diego budget.
- Still only one ongoing lawsuit against city. Gloria Allred is the attorney, so it will draw blood.
- Sherriff has hot line to report harassment by mayor. It is not known how many, if any, complaints reported to this hotline.
- 7 out of 9 City Council members have called for Filner to resign. Democratic Party Central Committee have called for Filner to resign. Senior national Democrats have called for Filner to resign. Jay Leno and other TV comics are having a field day.
- 2 separate recall actions have begun. One is serious. The other is a backfire lit by a Filner supporter.
Not much else happening at City Hall. All eyes on Filner out here in San Diego!!!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot:
- City Council refused Filner’s request that the city pick up the legal tab for Filner’s defense.
- City Council counter suing Filner for any lawsuit losses against the city.
- Filner off to a two week rehab program at an unknown location to improve his behavior to earn forgiveness. (yeah, right).
- Scandal clearly associated with the Dems. Lots of folks talking that the same people calling for Filner’s resignation are the ones who knew him for the last 20 years and endorsed his candidacy for mayor.
- all this in 7 months.
Okay, my rant is over!!!!!!! (this time)
btw...I am in San Diego also and I love that this story has gone national. :-)

Sheriff Bill Gore is a gun grabbing POS too!
