Oh No, Ed Jew!: "Prove It"
Mayor Gavvy-Gav's finally gotten through the City Attorney's report about Ed Jew, and he's none too happy about it! This is cutting into Jennifer Siebel cuddle time!
Newsom told the Chron that Tapioca Ed better cowboy up on these residency questions if he wants to stay in office, challenging Ed to "prove it," characterizing the City Attorney papers as "very damning" and "quite condemning," and calling the evidence that Jew doesn't live in San Francisco "overwhelming." (We really have to urge you to read through these neighbors' statements if you've got a moderately-fast .pdf downloader on your browser, they're excellent. We totally want to move to this block of 28th Avenue, it sounds very friendly.)
Jew's lawyer says his client would say something if he wasn't so afraid of the DA, and furthermore, if he did, he's totally sure Newsom would have been satisfied. Yeah, since that whole "my father forgets to do things" explanation did so well when this news first broke. (Meanwhile, M&R report that the DA offered Ed a plea bargain, but Ed refused to take it.)
Ed showed up at City Hall today and voted on a bunch of things, but refused to take questions and had to be escorted out by the deputies because of the crush of reporters. Meanwhile, Newsom's like, how hard is it to prove you live in San Francisco, and furthermore, notes that he still wants to know what happened to that $40,000 in Quickly cash that the FBI's looking into too.

gruel, fazio, meskunas et al are just too ridiculous for words.
what could ed POSSIBLY say to the mayor that would magically clear things up to everyone's satisfaction ... ... but STILL get him in more trouble with the DA?
if he has the proof of his sunset residency, wouldn't that HELP him with the DA, the city attorney, AND the mayor?
too, too obvious.
LOL.
Could we get some highlights of what my 'neighbors' had to say?
Today's Chron editorial called for his resignation, too.
That statements about the shooting really sound fishy. The neighbors describe a "young Asian couple" residing there, and bullet holes in the front windows, from someone apparently targetting them. Nothing says "gang" like bullet holes in your house.
Somehow I doubt Ed found these tenants off of Craigslist.
They couldn't spring for poster board for those signs? Fancy.
Isn't it interesting that most of those signs are written in the same handwriting?
haha didnt notice that the signs were in the same hand writing...
They should have blown up some LOLEDJEW signs instead.
LOL
I saw a diff pic that had a child holding up a sign in that same handwriting.
Someone is VERY VERY busy!
The folks who defend Ed Jew are just like the fools over in China who insist diethylene glycol toothpaste is good for you and rejecting it is "unscientific and totally groundless".
