This afternoon, the randy, handsy San Diego Mayor finally addressed the public regarding his penchant for perversion. He conceded that his “failure to respect women and the intimidating conduct [he] engaged in at times is inexcusable,” but he’s not ready to throw in the towel just yet:

That’s right: Filner’s not going anywhere — at least as far as his mayorship is concerned. He announced that he’ll be entering a two-week “rehab” program to come to terms with his failings and “become a better person.”

Now, few people are convinced that two weeks of vaca- er, rehab will rid Filner of his fondness for harassing women:

Dear SD Mayor Filner: 2 weeks of therapy won't cure you of being a skeevy perv. Just ask Anthony Weiner.

So Filner is going to 2 weeks of rehab or whatever, and not resigning. Ok. I'm sure that'll cure it.

Maybe there’s a chance the therapists can do something about this:
