			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1933" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 356px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1933  " style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Gavin Newsom Greenwash" src="http://iloveyougavinnewsom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/newsom-gardens.jpg" alt="Gavin Newsom Greenwash" width="346" height="259" /><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;I recommend Roundup for all your gardening needs.&quot;</p></div>
<p>I love a good a policy idea without details and a budget.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called a press release.</p>
<p>During a major fiscal crisis in San Francisco, Gavin thinks now is a good time to legislate &#8220;healthy eating.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/09/MN5C18L6RG.DTL" target="_blank">The Chronicle</a> writes that many of the details for his eating idea have yet to be worked out including how much it will cost.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/09/MN5C18L6RG.DTL" target="_blank">Newsom bristled when asked how it would be funded because there&#8217;s no money to implement the food policy.</a></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>This is classic Gavin. Get a great idea! Write a press release. Issue press release. Tweet about it! But never a plan, never money and never accountability.</strong></p>
<p>Turns out that the man-child mayor&#8217;s idea may take some getting used to.</p>
<blockquote><p>Michael Summers, who operates a hot dog stand in Civic Center Plaza that contracts with the city, said the dogs made of tofu don&#8217;t sell nearly as well as the old-fashioned meat kind.  That was evidenced by the line of people ordering hot dogs just after noon &#8211; and not a tofu order among them.</p></blockquote>
<p>Gavin Newsom just loves to <a href="http://iloveyougavinnewsom.com/2009/05/gavin-newsom-slammed-hard-by-civil-grand-jury/" target="_blank">govern by press releases</a>.</p>
<p>Mmmm&#8230; delicious, tasy government!</p>

<p>Gavin Newsom is using the San Francisco MUNI budget to balance his massive budget deficit.</p>
<p>Gavin is raising public transit fares and cutting service lines while he drives his SUV around.</p>
<p><strong>SF Streetsblog writes that this has left a lot of </strong><a href="http://sf.streetsblog.org/2009/05/08/newsom-should-charge-drivers-for-parking-before-cutting-muni/" target="_blank"><strong>transit riders and advocates</strong></a><strong> pissed off and feeling rejected.</strong></p>
<p>But, these bus- and cycle-riding folks are doing something creative about their collective pain. My favorite is this blog <a href="http://wheresgavin.com/" target="_blank">Where&#8217;s Gavin?</a></p>
<p>He&#8217;s in his <a href="http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2009/02/potential_newsom_neighbor_crit.php" target="_blank">gas-guzzling hybrid SUV</a> &#8212; that&#8217;s where!</p>

<div id="attachment_361" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 563px"><img class="size-full wp-image-361" style="border: black 1px solid;" title="Newsom loves PG&amp;E" src="http://iloveyougavinnewsom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/newsom-pge.jpg" alt="Dear Gavin, we've got your back.  Love, PG&amp;E." width="553" height="368" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dear Gavin, we&#39;ve got your back. Love, PG&amp;E.</p></div>
<p>Gavin loves to talk green.  &#8220;Look at the green garden I planted in front of City Hall.&#8221;  Pretty!  &#8220;Look at my hybrid SUV.&#8221; Gee whiz!</p></div>
<p>Now look at this awesome <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-8257-SF-Energy-Policy-Examiner~y2009m4d30-San-Francisco-Mayor-Gavin-Newsom-who-would-be-Governor-rides-the-big-wave" target="_blank">project with no scientific efficacy whatsoever</a>.  &#8220;My corporate money maker PG&amp;E told me to support it.  They said they&#8217;d give me sum more money&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>I love you PG&amp;E!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/04/29/BAC917AOC5.DTL" target="_blank">PG&amp;E then paid for Gavin&#8217;s new twitter facebook friends to get drunk at his party</a>.</p>
<p>You know, so the the young kids will think he&#8217;s cool.  AT&amp;T ponied up some money too.  $100,000 total.</p>
<p>Gavin is a tool of <a href="http://www.letsgreenwashthiscity.org/article.php?id=57" target="_blank">corporate interests, especially PG&amp;E</a>.</p>
<p>As blogger <a href="http://www.openleft.com/diary/7067/" target="_blank">Bob Brigham wrote in 2008</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Siding with PG&amp;E against the Sierra Club and opposing the San Francisco Clean Energy Act on this year&#8217;s ballot is a clear indication Mayor Newsom has no plans on winning the Democrat nomination for Governor in 2010&#8230;.siding with PG&amp;E against the Sierra Club to oppose Clean Energy is about the worst thing you can do.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Gavin is as green as hell is cold.  If you believe in hell, I mean.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_231" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 245px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/telstar/2265925/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-231    " style="border: black 1px solid;" title="Bayview Hunters Point" src="http://iloveyougavinnewsom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bayview-hunters-point.jpg" alt="San Francisco's new green jobs." width="235" height="163" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Gavin Newsom&#39;s new green jobs.</p></div>
<p>Gavin W. Bush is now employing Rovian tactics to make sure the bad smells of his wretched leadership don&#8217;t pollute the rest of the state.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s weird, but <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/San+Francisco+and+National+Political+Corruption+and+News+Events/articles/191/Newsom+Oakland+Town+Hall+Interrupted+Bayview" target="_blank">people get angry about toxic waste in their backyards</a>.  In America, that probably means you are poor and are a person of color.  Right?</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.calitics.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=8269" target="_blank">town hall meetings</a> these poisoned denizens sometimes raise their voices, ask pointed and unforgiving questions, and generally make a scene for the cameras.  This isn&#8217;t good when you are running for governor.</p>
<blockquote><p>Newsom&#8217;s audience was asked to write down their queries. That allowed Newsom to read the cards &#8212; and effectively sidestep the Bayview (toxic dust) protesters who in recent meetings have aimed to dominate the discussion on their issue.</p></blockquote>
<p>The solution to these <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/04/01/BAAM16QCJR.DTL" target="_blank">pesky black folks</a>?  Hire extra security to <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?blogid=14&amp;entry_id=37885" target="_blank">shut them out and screen their questions</a>, and figure out the political retribution.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s next, a loyalty oath to follow Gavin on <a href="http://iloveyougavinnewsom.com/2009/04/gavin-newsom-twitter-twat/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.calitics.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6474" target="_blank">Calitics</a> &#8212; Gavin Greenwash opposed Proposition H in the 2008 November election, which would have directed the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to figure out how to provide <em>clean and renewable energy</em> to the city.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.calitics.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6474" target="_blank"><strong>Gavin joined his major donor PG&amp;E to fight the Sierra Club</strong></a> on the Clean Energy Act.</p>
<p>Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Co. hired Newsom&#8217;s chief political strategist, Eric Jaye, to lead the multimillion dollar campaign to defeat the measure.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.sfbg.com/entry.php?entry_id=7300&amp;catid=&amp;volume_id=398&amp;issue_id=401&amp;volume_num=43&amp;issue_num=03" target="_blank">San Franciscans should be ashamed that they have a mayor who is greenwashing and gay-washing his way to the governor&#8217;s mansion.</a></p></blockquote>
