Maybe if San Diego Mayor Bob Filner had a funnier name — Weiner, perhaps — there would be more headlines about the four women who came forward just today to accuse him of making unwanted sexual advances. Democrat Filner says he’s “saddened” by the charges against him, which include allegations that he fondled, groped, and caught women in what accuser Patti Roscoe described as the “famous headlock.”
Certainly the (D) next to Filner’s name provides some insulation from media scrutiny, but doesn’t the “war on women” label apply here? Ace has some questions about the misunderstood mayor who just liked to hug too much.
New complainants include a DEAN and an ADMIRAL… Only thing Filner can do to save him from media scrutiny now is begin late term abortions.

But seriously, folks.
The media will deign to report on this if/when the Democratic Party cuts him loose… but they will not report that a serial groper…

…is currently being SUPPORTED by the Democrats. That would undermine the #WaronWomen narrative they've cooked up with the DNC.

The story will read, "Democrats bravely take stance against one of their own."

You will not hear @nancypelosi's "I'm not here to make judgments" comment, nor her claim that what happens in San Diego stays in San Diego.

Democrat city council members and others who preferred to look the other way are now admitting Filner is “toxic” and urging him to resign, though Filner told reporters today, “Let’s take a deep breath, let that process work itself out. Meanwhile, we got a city to run.” Surely there’s a better place for a man of Filner’s talents, right?
The only questions I have is what will Bob Filner's talk show be called, and will it come on before or after @maddow.

The San Diego Democratic Party demands Filner's resignation, so now the media will report it (as the Dems aren't on the wrong side now)

.@AceofSpadesHQ Well, after all, Filner is just a "local crime story." @nancypelosi

.@AceofSpadesHQ And we should all thank you for rubbing their noses in it. There is no way they can explain their hypocrisy. So, thanks. 🙂
