Yeah, I know, and understand their reluctance. But there's still that Sixth Amendment thing to be addressed.

If he did it, let's KILL HIM. But what if he didn't?

Old retired guy libel.

What I'm not seeing in this story is time frame. I'm lazy, so I'll ask some San Diegan to enlighten me: Do these accusations come from his 18 years in Congress, or just since he became mayor?

I have no interest in defending him; it sounds like he admits to inappropriate behavior. I'm just curious has to whether this scandal may be enhanced by political maneuvering.

He shouldn't be forced to resign, he should choose to resign.

I know, right? Hasn't anyone heard of the <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hawthorne_effect" target="_blank">Hawthorne Effect</a>?

From my deep medical experience of watching Grey's Anatomy for the last 7 years, I would say this guy has a tumor. Get McDreamy, stat! Or he's just another perv with too much power.

Who can forget the great fun Our Wonkette had with: <blockquote> You put me out in Denver 'Cause I wouldn't suck your dick</blockquote>

That said, Filner's done a lot of good things and was on his way to do more. He might be a Packwood-style groper, but no accuser has come forward, ostensibly because they don't want to be shamed.

Where's the shame in being groped? No one's sayings it's the victims' fault.

A&W fuck it, that's the best I got. Manchester, who donated $250k to the Prop 8 campaign, is enough of a douchebag to arrange a conspiracy...
