But What Do Homosexuals Think About SF Mayor's Affair?
Approximately 1,200 Wonkette readers sent us angry e-mails about our lack of Gavin Newsom coverage. Who's Gavin Newsom? See, that's why we ignored this story. Nobody outside of San Francisco knows or cares about Gavin Newsom -- that's because he's the mayor of San Francisco. His scandal is dull, too: single man has heterosexual affair with colleague's wife. Yes, he is a crappy friend, but he's a politician so he doesn't have real friends, anyway.
We reluctantly mention the minor gossip only because there's a gay angle, and that's always fun. Newsom had the affair with Ruby Rippey-Tourk (an incredible porn name) who was also his secretary at one point, so obviously he was sleeping with her. Then Ruby Rippey-Tourk became some sort of gay-media magnate, because she is also a "fag hag." And she revealed the affair because that's something you're supposed to do in drug rehab . It's too bad Newsom's political career is now over. He could've provided some amusement on the national stage. Oh well, who cares?
