Controversial San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom married actress Jennifer Siebel Friday (the couple is pictured above while hanging out at a NASA facility). Gavin was formerly married to Fox News pundit/beauty Kimberly Guilfolye..which ended in 2007 because of bi-coastal problems which challenged their both very busy schedules.
Kimberly is a fine looking brunette and Jennifer is a fine looking blond. So far Jen’s highlight film has been her bit part as “Jodie” in the recent film “The Valley of Elijah Elah”. Jen has been kicking around the movie biz for the last few years but before that was a Stanford Business School grad…..so as they say in the trade….she is no dummie!
In the meantime, Newsom is busy doing the dance of the nervous politician regarding the recent three person killing by a precipitously released “illegal alien” after a traffic conflict……that seems to have put a short sheet downer on his unabated run for Governor when Arnold and Maria move out in 2010. This is Gavee’s second marriage at 40 years old. Newsom divorced Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2005 after a three year run because of a supposed affair with his secretary Ruby Rippey-Tourk – the wife of one of his campaign aides Alex Tourk, who resigned in protest. He then became engaged to actress Jennifer Siebel in December 2007.
Ethical concerns seem to keep dogging the Democratic frontrunners for Governor….Antonio Villaraigosa stuck a fork in his rise for the Gubernatorial slot when he was found to be having “a still married affair” with an on-air Hispanic News Reporter. It is doubtful that Hispanic women throughout the State of California will easily forget that in 2010. To his credit, after the initial “Bull Fighter” splash….of “Yes, we do it…..” Tony has attempted to regain some modicum of decorum. Too little, too late……to be forgiven however! He seems to be a nice guy….just not Gov material.
But what about “Favorite Son Newsom”? This guy believes in all the most traditional San Francisco issues: “Sanctuary City”…”Don’t ask..Don’t tell!”, “Gay Marriage”, “Anti-Gun”. Guess he thought that not policing illegal aliens was a smart thing to do…until….one of them shot down a father and his two sons! In 1992 Newsom made his bones with PlumpJack Wine Shop..”wine and cheese for the decerning taste!” Maybe his campaign 2010 slogan will be: “Brie or me!”
The reality is….Newsom is “flawed goods”…and inspite of his good looks and hot looking new wife…….the chances of him being the next “Governator” are “nil and none”. The guy who does have a shot however is our current Lt. Governor……John Garamendi. Garamendi is the dutiful Democrat former Insurance Commissioner….who is actually smart enough to keep his mouth shut and “stand by to stand by”! Garamendi is well liked oddly by members of both political parties and is close enough to being a “Uniter…than being a Divider”. Sounds familiar huh?
Then there is our personal favorite, current Attorney General Jerry Brown – who presumably dated Linda Ronstadt…”You’re no good, You’re no good, You’re no good….baby you’re no good!” Jerry has also been the most entertaining politician around. Being a Jesuit trained brilliant type….he just seems to make things fun….wherever he goes. Jerry refuses to let grass grow under his feet and we believe would be great for our dying California economy and Real Estate markets!
So, Congratulations to Gavin Newsom……what a guy! Our question about your new bride are the following: (1) Did you do a pre-nuptial agreement? And (2) Do you think you can stay married this time until 2010?
Oh, and one more thing….where are you going on your honeymoon?
(We look forward to your choices for CA Governor…..by any party in 2010!)
*For those that know us….we hope you do realize we are still dedicated and from the Conservative stripe…and firmly and strongly endorse actor Tom Selleck as our true choice for Governor in 2010…to replace Arnold and Maria!
Ummm, that’s “The Valley of Elah”…a very good movie, by the way.
ooops…or rather “In The Valley of Elah”.
Conservatives for former governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown.
Have you seen the portrait of “Moonbeam” in the State Capitol Building? This guy is hilarious, but I don’t think that California could afford his style of socialism.
*Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Elah..perhaps?
Just kidding now….but what about the “Jodie”
character in the movie….moved you anon #2 & #3?
*Junior….The only real bad thing that Brown Jr. did as Governor was trying to make the “Golden Beach Freeway” from the top of California to the Mexican border taking as much beach property as possible in the process….and of course naming Adrianna Gianturco as the CalTrans boss!
Read about Jerry Brown’s War on Suburbia:
Jerry Brown’s War on California Suburbs
By JOEL KOTKIN
July 19, 2008
In the 1960s, California Gov. Edmund Gerald “Pat” Brown laid the foundation for building modern, suburban California with massive new highway projects and one of the most significant public water projects in history. The resulting infrastructure gave us broad, low-density developments with room for millions of Californians to have a home with a backyard and two cars in the driveway.
Those were the good old days. Today, Pat Brown’s son Jerry is waging war on the very communities his father helped make possible. Why? Global warming.
Jerry Brown is taking aim at the suburbs, concerned about the alleged environmental damage they cause. He sees suburban houses as inefficient users of energy. He sees suburban commuters clogging the roads as wasting precious fossil fuel. And, mostly, he sees wisdom in an intricately thought-out plan to compel residents to move to city centers or, at least, to high-density developments clustered near mass transit lines.
Mr. Brown is not above using coercion to create the demographic patterns he wants. In recent months, he has threatened to file suit against municipalities that shun high-density housing in favor of building new suburban singe-family homes, on the grounds that they will pollute the environment.
He is also backing controversial legislation — Senate bill 375 — moving through the state legislature that would restrict state highway funds to communities that refuse to adopt “smart growth” development plans. “We have to get the people from the suburbs to start coming back” to the cities, Mr. Brown told planning experts in March.
Governor “Moonbeam” indeed.
*Junior,
Thanks…good stuff there. We do however believe that “the end of cities crowd”…has been around many years. Whatever negative we have to say about SF Politics…no one can complain about their BART and Metro, Ferry and Bus Systems that do a fine job of getting people from here to there over pretty distant areas.
What had us frazzled was the way HOV lanes up there in “No God’s Country” are managed. Only during “Rush Hour” are these lanes required HOV lanes…during the rest of the day….it is a free for all..and you can cross over double lines like they are going out of style. Larry Gilbert has been trying to “do away” with HOV lanes down here for some time. We don’t agree…..but the we might want try on the NON Rush hour use of HOV lanes in certain areas. We don’t believe that it
would be safe in all areas. The good news is that by doing away with “cell phone ear” and with the economy lowering the “illegal alien drivers” on the freeways nowadays….it might work! As far a Jerry Jr. is concerned: Hey, he has a whole bunch of “Contributors” to his various campaigns that he has to be responsible to!
Are you sure that blonde is not our new Sheriff? Hope not, but my first glance I thought that is who it is —-
*Saw Sheriff Hutchens with Lowell Erikson on
the LA Morning Show Sunday….she stood up well
for herself actually!
In the meantime, Gavee….worries us…with his
apparent associations of convenience!
