    Court Jester Surveys Political Field on Memorial Day

    Same for Leland Yee whose one great ability is to raise money and hide its source in piles of litter. Ed Jew has a better chance of being elected Mayor than Phil Ting does and Dennis Herrera has more arrows in him than General Custer. Face it, unless Chicken John declares again, this is as exciting as this field is gonna get.

    Tom Schultz drew a bevy of beauties as always ranging from Hope Johnson to a gorgeous blonde of a certain age that’s my speed … named Leah … caught my eye from 100 paces with a snug black dress centered with a bright red leather bow/belt and cleavage to make the Grand Canyon blush.

    New Mayor and District Attorney Visit Prog Supes

    The first time I met Aaron Peskin, I stood him up. It worked out though. I was supposed to meet him at Wild Awakenings coffee shop on McAllister down the street from City Hall. He’d just been elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and I liked the cut of his jib and wanted to interview him, but I got delayed at a press conference where Jim Reid was announcing the filing of his papers to recall Mayor Willie Brown. It was January 2001. Luckily I ran into Aaron on the sidewalk as I hurried tardily to our meeting. We talked about Willie Brown and how I wanted him gone. Peskin told me off-the-books that he wanted Willie gone too.

    The Thomas Photo Gallery: Former Board Prez and D-3 supe Peskin posed holding a copy of the current Bay Guardian Candidate Endorsement cover with current D-11 supe and Budget and Finance Chair John Avalos who was joined by cutest couple in the room, Erich Pearson and his main squeeze, David Owen, who in a former life before becoming an attorney was Aaron’s Chief of Staff under da dome.
