Indeed, he is that good looking

In these photos, Oakland's Mayor Ron Dellums looks downright flummoxed by Gavin Newsom's dashing good looks, flirtatious tongue-biting and perfectly gelled mane. Which, dear readers, seems a gem of an opportunity for a...CAPTION CONTEST!

Like, New Yorker-style. Except instead of publishing the most unfunny, curmudgeonly captions -- bitter grumble -- we'll let them all see the light of day on this here corner of the World Wide Web. Have at it!

San Francisco: The city by the bay or the city with reporters who have no shame?

I was proud to be a broadcast reporter until I watched ABC 7 News' recent sensationalist hit-piece on Gavin Newsom. Like so many of us in this industry, longtime reporter Dan Noyes, whom I formerly considered one of my professional inspirations, is bloodthirsty. But he's no longer satisfied with merely looking for the kill; now he's doing the killing. The victims? The integrity of the entire profession of journalism and, most notably, the Gav.

You see, last week Matier and Ross reported in their salacious gossip column that Gavin had shown up intoxicated at San Francisco General Hospital shortly after a police officer was shot and killed. The Gav was reportedly extremely affectionate with the grieving family. Said one unnamed witness to the Chronicle: "He was very, very emotional, almost to tears -- asking how this could have happened. He was hugging people -- maybe a little too long for comfort -- and kissing them on the head." Hardly a crime! But, from the tone of Matier and Ross' report, you would think Gavin had bludgeoned the grieving clan to death with a hospital clipboard before slinking off to booze it up at another holiday party.

Of course, as soon as the story went to print the bloodhounds were released by the dozens. Just when Gavin thought he had weathered the worst of it, in enters Noyes with a swift one-two below the belt, after the final bell. As you will see in the video below, this man has no shame. The Gav, being the dignified gentleman that he is, removes himself from the situation. But not before blasting Noyes with this: "You keep missing consistently a lot of facts because your opinion is so enthusiastic." Hey, Noyes, newsflash: journalists aren't supposed to have an opinion! Where'd you go to J-school, huh? University of Biased Reporting?



On a cheerier note, my Katsopolistas and Gavinites, here's a little something to look forward to:
