Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner’s professional and personal collapse continued Tuesday when he pleaded guilty to three criminal charges that he grabbed and fondled women during his brief time at City Hall.

The 71-year-old Filner pleaded guilty to one felony charge of false imprisonment and two misdemeanor charges of battery at a hearing in San Diego Superior Court.

The former 10-term congressman’s pleas came just two days before a criminal grand jury was set to hear evidence against him. As part of the plea deal with the state Attorney General’s Office, Filner will not face any jail or prison time.

If you’re raped by a Democrat, just lay back and enjoy it.

Hopefully he will spend the rest of his life paying out and fighting off lawsuits.

That’s the thing about repeat offenders. Even if a softie judge gives them a pass, they can no more stop offending than a junkie can stop shooting heroin.

I’m thinking about registering as a Democrat and running for any public office. I’m bullet-proof.

How did this creep get away with this behavior in Washington D.C. for 19 years? He could have just retired from Congress and gone home to San Diego, but avarice to bag a bigger San Diego City pension and lust for continuing power of the sort he abused drove him to run for mayor.
