Tonight, I reported accusations by a lawyer for San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi that Mayor Ed Lee and City Attorney Dennis Herrera gave the sheriff an ultimatum -- resign from office or we'll make your wife's video public.
Mirkarimi's attorney David Waggoner calls that "underhanded", "unethical" and "sleazy"; Lee and Herrera deny making the offer. At the urging of her neighbor, Ivory Madison, Eliana Lopez made a video of a bruise on her arm from a New Year's Eve altercation with Mirkarimi.
This news comes on the same day Lopez' attorney, Paula Canny, filed this complaint for ethics violations by Mayor Lee and the city attorney. Canny is requesting that the Ethics Commission decide whether it was official misconduct, when the city released the Lopez video last week.
There is a similar case from 1999. San Francisco Superior Court Judge James McBride faced domestic violence charges after two altercations with his estranged wife left bruises on her arm. She accused McBride of slamming her hand into a door jam and pushing her in the face. McBride avoided prosecution for three counts of spousal abuse and one count of witness intimidation, by consenting to undergo a year of domestic violence counseling. Judge McBride kept his job.

Gotta love the techno souctdrank to the second half of the video. I hope, for the sake of all that is good and holy, that Chad Barrett and Taylor Twellman never make it to any European Club. It's bad enough that I have to hear those jackasses on World Soccer Daily/Fox Football Fone-In consistently denigrate American soccer through the person of Landy-cakes and his European exploits.Barrett and Twellman in even a lower league like the Eircom or English League Two would set back the perception of American soccer 50 years...

I was having a cvtaersonion at work about how awesome old Mtv spots used to be. My personal favorite was Crabs' Legs! Mtv, yeah, we got crabs' legs. Or the one with the short-order cook who wants to show his sneeze, Oh look. I made an Mtv logo. But, the Jimmy the Cab Driver spot? Getouttahere. Those spots were pure genius. What ever happened to the witty Mtv?
