Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
Don: You say: "But the downtown overlords waited for the right time to toss alleged harassment at Filner." The trouble with that theory is that it was Cory, Donna and Marco who tossed the alleged harassment grenade. They are hardly downtown overlords. The only downtown overlords they answer to are DeClerq and Zucchett. I know you are trying to deflect blame from them but facts are stubborn things.It was those three who did in Filner. It could not have been done without Frye's "credibility" in particular.— August 31, 2013 4:22 a.m.
Filner issues a Stop-Use Order against North Park Jack in the Box. Todd Gloria rescinds.
Gloria's first act was to rescind the order. So it begins.— August 30, 2013 5:18 p.m.

Yankeedoodle: DeMaio is a Manchester man while Fletcher is a Jacobs man. San Diegans are lucky in that they actually get to vote for their version of the medieval Guelphs and Ghibellines. We may even see medieval gang towers sprout up around the city from where the Manchurians and Jocobites can shoot poison arrows at each other far above the great unwashed crowds. We are not too far away from a new warlord era.— August 30, 2013 9:49 a.m.

Yankeedoodle: No, much worse, the chief lieutenant of San Diego's own First Dark Lord, Count Jacobs: Nathan Fletcher of the angel face with satanic powers.— August 30, 2013 8:01 a.m.

Can any of you see Bruce getting any further than third place in the primary as his image stands right now? I can't but I will still vote for him in the primary and vote for DeMaio as the lesser of two evils in the runoff. A good showing by Bruce would send a strong message that San Diegans care about their built heritage and their quality of life and build a strong lobby against whichever of the two developer-friendly career climbers would seize the mayor's office. But if Bruce could extend his appeal to the Latino community, he could actually win! If Enrique Morones got behind him we would have a real chance. Exciting thought. The dark hats would have a tough time pinning a sex or corruption scandal on our Bruce. This would be a truly grass roots campaign. Money vs. no money. What do you say Enrique?— August 30, 2013 7:40 a.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
Don: I don't think either one knew of the loaded guns that were pointed at their respective heads. As for the "downtown overlords", they are Frank DeClerq and Mike Zucchett. Any stadium, convention center or waterfront project has to have their imprimatur first and that costs hard cash. Fletcher was an "intelligence officer" in Iraq. He understands the dark arts.— August 30, 2013 1:10 a.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
The reason the U-T never ran the DeMaio bathroom story was that the editors down there knew full well that this was all the work of their old devious colleague Gerry Braun, whom they also knew was already working for Irwin Jacobs at City expense courtesy of the wily Jerry Sanders, who was doing Jacobs and his powerful friends like David Cohn favors in order to line up his next high paying gig, boss of the Chamber of Commerce. Jerry knows how things work around here and who needs to be paid off with City money. And Braun knew exactly who his hit team would be. Hueso and Emerald have no popular constituency base and are therefore entirely under the control of the unions. The Voice of Orange County is the Voice of the unions in Orange County, just as the Voice of San Diego is the Voice of Irwin Jacobs in San Diego. All that was needed was a good script writer and there are few better than Gerry Braun. There was no need for Jacobs' paper to break the DeMaio hit story in San Diego because the Orange County union paper would break it and the San Diego union paper, CityBeat would repeat it in San Diego. Once the fire was lit in both counties anybody could join in. The timing just depended upon getting the little matter of destroying Mayor Filner out of the way. This whole coup was planned once Fletcher did not make it to the runoffs and was never likely to. Whichever of the two, DeMaio or Filner, made it to the Mayor's Office, were therefore to be destroyed within months. With the city in chaos the unions/Jacobs coup would then be a slam dunk. If Nathan Fletcher becomes Mayor, Gerry “Machiavelli” Braun will be his first hire. He knows who and how each player has to be paid off. Jacobs will want to waste no time in getting Balboa Park privatized for his friend David Cohn who probably has already picked out the flowers and the decorations for his new restaurant to replace the “The Balboa Club”. And that will be just the beginning of the giveaways. There are a myriad of "midnight deals" like the one Assemblyman Fletcher made with the redevelopment $1billion that will be stacked on his Mayoral desk. There will be a lot of pigs at the Fletcher trough. Meanwhile we the people wallow in the sexual muck they serve up for our entertainment and diversion. I hope we are smarter than they judge us to be. But I am not so sure.— August 29, 2013 4:16 p.m.

ImJustABill: Whatever "principles" Donna Frye may once have had she threw them all away when on TV she sought to destroy a good man the people of this city had elected only a few months earlier. She screamed that he would get "all the process he was due" and made herself judge, jury and executioner. Some "principles" huh?— August 29, 2013 2 p.m.

Don: I will volunteer as her tail gunner, with a shotgun. Let them dare take pot shots as her. On second thoughts I don't think she would need any protection. It's the media that would need shotguns. We want Fran!— August 29, 2013 8:22 a.m.
