Gavin Newsom is at it again...

This is probably the only openly stupid mayors in all of America. The publicity whore is at it again!

Now he is swearing in Federal law-breaking gay guy as a member of the Board of Supervisors. Newsom did not have to swear in anyone until the whole board is sworn in January 8th, but this was too tasty of a morsel for his publicity desires to avoid.

So now, not only is Gavin Newsom breaking California law by allowing gay marriage - and supporting civil disobedience with protests and such, he is allowing the fact that a person is 'gay' to override the 'rule of law' which prohibits illegal (undocumented) people to serve in politics. David Campos himself says, "I might be the first undocumented person elected to the Board of Supervisors". By being sworn in early, Campos will have seniority over all the other brand new board members, which means he is eligible for a better office assignment, better seat assignment and better appointments to various commissions - and begin to work before all the other new board members. Preferential treatment for a gay member... arguably YES.

OH MY GOSH... can we just annex San Francisco out of California - allow it to be it's own little country - where people can do whatever they want - act, however they want and believe whatever they want. I know.. let's call it Goddom or Somorrah... it is only fitting.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom swore in openly gay attorney David Campos to replace Tom Ammiano on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Ammiano won his election to the California State Assembly on Nov. 4, carrying a Victory Fund endorsement.

Campos, who will represent the city’s ninth district, came to the United States at the age of 14 as an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala. He became an American citizen in 1997, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

“I might be the first undocumented person elected to the Board of Supervisors,” Campos said to cheers. “I think it’s only fitting in this very difficult time to be an immigrant that something like this would happen in San Francisco. It says a lot about the city.”

I don't know what is worse - that he is undocumented, gay or a lawyer... ok, lawyer trumps. Having gone to law school and having been raised by a gay man and being hispanic myself (with potentially undocumented relatives) - yeah, I would say being a lawyer is the worst identifier!

By the way - I believe there may be gay discrimination in SF these days - If you are straight, a legal citizen and conservative - you are discriminated against - being elected in any capacity.
