Mayor McHottie: It's time you got some "people"

Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle featured the most bizarre interview with with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's girlfriend, actress Jennifer Siebel. How she got clearance to do this interview I have no idea, but I consider it a coup on the part of the reporter that she got Siebel to open up as much as she did.

For those that aren't aware, Mayor McHottie recently revealed that he had an affair with his close friend's wife (both were on his payroll until recently), then checked himself into fake rehab, the kind of rehab where you have your meetings over the phone and they tell you it's okay to drink, just not so much. And maybe stick to white wine only.

Siebel stood by her man and essentially blamed Ruby Rippey-Tourk (the wife) for causing the scandal. Then she commented on the SFist site (when they called her out for being a total beeyotch) that she was misquoted and she didn't mean to say that (again, the mind boggles), but that, yeah, it was all Ruby's fault.

This is a woman who has a fancy degree from Stanford yet writes (about Ruby), "i just wish that she would leave gavin and i alone." *cringe*

Now Jennifer Siebel is sorry. No, sorry, "deeply sorry" for all of it.  The interview, the blog commenting, further hurting the players in this scandal...This is a mess. 

Gavin, Gavin, Gavin. Get yourself some people stat. No one's got your back, dude, and I find that sad. Shocking and sad. See if I were the one in charge of your media relations I would have someone babysitting your dumb girlfriend 24/7. I'd fill her to the brim with margaritas then toss her into Bloomingdale's for a good 8-9 hours at a stretch. And I'd definitely hide her laptop. Damage control, dude. Someone needs to be on it. Jen just hit the flush lever on your career. Call me!

P.S. Jennifer, if you are reading this, walk away from the computer, honey.

OMG you and me both. when he admitted that he was going into rehab for alcohol "issues" i was like what?! WHY did he have to make that a public fact? he should have kept that silent. and i agree, the interview with jennifer was SO odd. he's kept quiet and she's opening up? bizarre. i'll be she did it for her movie and yet you get an interview about gavin and how they met and how he compares to george clooney.

On SFist, she also whined about the article, but she had sent an email to the reporter telling her what a great article.

I wonder if Stanford will expunge her from their records, just like the coach expunged the five swimmers' records.

[Jill]

Amen, Amen, Amen!

[Grrrlfriend Jess]

Wow. This sounds like one big chick lit book.

[BadKitty]

I can't believe you're getting to work for Gavin. Because seriously, he's going to call you.

You should have a plan ready in advance, for when he hits on you. What will you do?!

[patti]

Hopefully she'll say "I can't, but you're on my friend Patti's list, which is laminated..."

[Stefania/CityMama]

Jess, that's exactly it. It's the perfect chicklit plot. And, Kitty, my phone is on my person at all times. But I don't think I've done enough blow to be hired by McHottie. Now, if this were the 80's...

I guess certain men are allowed to get away with anything in life as long as they have the right looks, height, and ehtnicity.

I saw the Chron interview but not the SFist. What's left to say? She's a fool and he's, well, just more foolhardy for dating her. What the hell was she thinking? Wait, duh. Why am I asking?!! She didn't expect the ask personal questions, it wasn't suppposed to go there...yet she had NO PROBLEM spilling the beans. I could go own, but, well, McHottie's calling you, not me:)
