San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom apologized for having an affair with his former secretary Ruby— the wife of his campaign manager and former deputy chief of staff, Alex Tourk, who, understandably, has resigned and refused comment.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Tourk confronted his friend, boss and candidate after his wife confessed the affair as part of a rehabilitation program according to "sources who had direct knowledge" but "spoke on the condition of anonymity."
Eric Jaye, Newsom's campaign strategist, apparently did speak on the record, telling the paper he was confident the mayor's admission would diffuse the furor of public scandal before voters go to the polls in the November.
So work on the re-election campaign continues. No doubt resumes already are landing on Newsom's desk from those who would take Tourk's place.
One wonders: Do the cover letters implore, "Take my wife. Please."
