A petition drive to recall San Diego Mayor Bob Filner got underway today, trying to oust the man who has been accused of sexual harassment by 16 women.

The mayor's opponents turned out all over the city, including at a local marathon, trying to get the nearly 102,000 signatures they need to collect by Sept. 26 to get the issue on the ballot.

Not having looked all that closely at this story so far, I hadn’t heard until today that Bob Filner is one of those “progressives.”

The story itself did not explicitly identify him as one, such as by referring to “the progressive Mayor Filner.” Instead, it quoted one of the recall people who said something indirectly referring to his preferred politics, and the listeners were left to put two and two together (not, I hope, in Bob Filner’s favorite way to put two and two together).

If he were somehow a Tea Party Conservative or something, all of us would be hearing that nonstop.

The dreaded “D” word (Democrat) is in the 8th paragraph down.
