I have been very busy, so I apologize for the light posting, but I can’t resist commenting on the amazing revelations that Newsom press flack Peter Ragone has been posting to SFist (and possibly other sites) under assumed names. What’s even more amazing is that he lied about it on camera, then admitted he lied.

Think about that: the press secretary for the Newsom Administration flat-out lied on camera. If Channel 7 (and the other TV stations) don’t have the credits “Peter Ragone - Admitted Liar” under him when he speaks, I’ll be disappointed. Why would anyone believe anything he says ever again? Talk about a loss of credibility! It’s time for Gavin to give him the heave-ho, I think.

And now the Guardian’s reporting that Newsom campaign manager Alex Tourk has resigned, for “personal reasons” (which loosely translates to “no comment”). What the hell are these guys doing? Suddenly San Francisco’s Golden Boy is running amateur hour. Imagine what would happen if there were an actual opponent!

I am just stunned at the pettiness and incompetence running rampant in the Mayor’s office. Looks like Wade Crowfoot’s gonna end up running things after all, which can only be an improvement, despite his documented chicken issues.
