SF Mayor's Campaign Manager Quits, Following Affair Allegation (Mayor Newsom doing his wife)
NBC11 ^ | January 31, 2007 | staff

Posted on 01/31/2007 9:40:23 PM PST by tlb

SAN FRANCISCO -- In the midst of an election year, Mayor Gavin Newsom's campaign manager Alex Tourk has announced that he will step down from his post.

SFGate.com reported Tourk resigned after confronting Newsom for allegedly having an affair with his wife, Ruby Rippey-Tourk.

The admission from Rippey-Turke came as part of a rehabilitation program she has been undergoing for substance abuse, according to sources to the paper.

Newsom refused to comment on the report, according to NBC11.

Rippey-Tourk, 34, was the mayor's appointments secretary at the beginning of his administration in 2004. She worked for the mayor until the spring of 2006, according to the paper.

"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Newsom campaigns and the city of San Francisco and its residents," Tourk said in a statement.

It DOESN'T prove Newsom is a heterosexual...

Of course not. He is a lesbian. Something for everyone.

What are the odds that FNC's Kimberly Guilfoyle (Newsom's ex-wife) will cover this on her show or on appearances on other FNC shows?

As a former SF'er and who LOVES gossip, innuendo and rumors, I will repost these UNCONFIRMED RUMORS.

*Guilfoyle was/is a druggie and was cheating on Gavin.

*Gavin is into all kinds of younger women, some are allegedly "underage", and he's a total playboy playing the field - waitresses, etc.

Again, I have no idea if any of this is true. This is just what I heard, and I'm only repeating it.

I have been checking out stories on this! This is just fantastically juicy.

There are RUMORS that Ruby Rippey-Tourk was pregnant and maybe had an abortion.
http://www.fogcityjournal.com/news_in_brief/kirshenbaum_070131.shtml

The Mayor of SF was RUMORED to be at a fallen policeman's funeral DRUNK.

They Mayor allegedly plied an underage girl with liquor and got her drunk.

Finally, SF hasn't even announced their fake murder and crime stats yet because they, well, it's SF Values.

If the Mayor was doing the husband as well as the wife, the good people of San Francisco would already be commissioning a statue in his honor.

Newsom is actually a notorious womanizer. Accusing him of being gay is a dog that won't hunt -- he makes Bill Clinton look gay.

Well, i think its obvious guilfoyle was having an affair. According to wikipedia they were divorced feb 28th of 2006, and she had her first kid to her second husband october 4th 2006.

She probably got knocked up by her second husband, then they rushed to marry a few months later when they figured out she was pregnant.

There is a reason that he is called Gavin "Any Twosome" Newsom.

I've always thought he was gay, and the wife and girlfriends were just beards.....this surprised me a bit.


LOL!

Me, too......maybe it just proves what lengths he'll go to to maintain his cover! ;>)
