July 23, 2013 (San Diego)—Two press conferences were held yesterday regarding the scandal in San Diego City Hall involving Mayor Bob Filner.

Prominent attorney Gloria Allred announced that she has filed a civil lawsuit against Mayor Filner on behalf of Irene McCormack-Jackson in Superior Court. McCormack-Jackson read a statement and her lawyer answered some questions from the media.

Usually tempest in teapot stay local. Filner was until last term a U.S Congressman. This is why this matters nationally. (The CBC crew surprised me).

But, but...it's a local story. I have to agree with my BIL, if all this will have things...emerge from his 20 years in DC.

Accidentally left the caps lock on and typed something, but can't be bothered to start again and retype it all?

36. Thanks, but I will continue to respect the paper's style sheet

it is an old fashioned style sheet, as in old school, but it is what it is.

[frylock]

3. is this a new thing for him?

why didn't we hear about this side of Filner when he was in Congress?

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. That is the shoe brother in law and I expect to drop

Two reasons, one very factual, the other hearsay.

Factual, Filner is twice divorced and his fiancée left him...suddenly about two months ago

Hearsay...he was a professor of history at SDSU when I was attending. There were rumors of a prof chasing skirts. I never really paid attention to that back them.

I also almost expect charges given how evasive everybody is about it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. Other shoe *is* dropping

Damn, I took a few hours to relax...

4. "Charges" are for a criminal indictment. This is a lawsuit.

Doesn't that fish-wrapper have an editor?

[loli phabay]

9. was wondering what the charges were, thought it was a west coast turn of phrase

[ProdigalJunkMail]

13. at least she is planning on correcting it...

when she gets to a computer :

Correction notice
On July 23rd, 2013 nadinabbott says:
There have been no charges, editor will correct as soon as she gets to a computer

sP

[Nuclear Unicorn]

14. Wait. The OP is Nadin Abbott?

huh

But aren't editors supposed to make corrections *before* publication?

[ProdigalJunkMail]

15. I would suppose so...

on both questions...

sP

[SidDithers]

39. The editor posts here as Libert Belle...

and thinks wind turbines cause cancer.

18. odd... ain't it? n/t

[pintobean]

20. Not really

Not for ECM.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

22. good point...

we should expect no less...

[Brother Buzz]

31. My understanding, the editor is another belle

Liberty Belle tried to carry the water after Nadin got locked out of her windmill thread:

32. Oops. I'll self delete. Thanks.

[Brickbat]

5. Charges? Really?

Jesus Christ. Put down the press hat and back away.

[pintobean]

7. "Our news media is truly broken"

We have stories of international importance (Egypt) and both msnbc and CNN are on a tragic local trial.

I changed the channel to my local fox station. They are actually covering things lie yes Egypt.

Sad...also they are covering local news, but they are a local station.

Gloria Allred and ECM - all I need to know.

[FSogol]

11. LOL. You win the thread! n/t

[Brickbat]

37. Thread over.

[Dreamer Tatum]

8. You may want to edit that online before you get in trouble. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. For the critics, I will put the original submitted tittle

[Nuclear Unicorn]

12. "I will put the original submitted tittle"

WTH?

Every jot and tittle or iced tea and tittles? Or is it more of a Mardi Gras, "show us your tittles!"?

[dionysus]

16. tittles are generic brand skittles

[hrmjustin]

19. Why some are getting so bent out of shape and personal here I do not know.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. For once, they. Actually do have a point

And actually already contacted the editor. It's a matter of a clock, broken one that is, being right twice a day.

[hrmjustin]

23. Thanks.

[pintobean]

24. You're a good person, Justin

I understand where you're coming from, but you're relatively new here, and there's a long history. I suggest you see something from someone who has had to see this going on for a very long time.

25. I just wish people would not get personal. Thats all.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

26. i think the main issue with people getting pissy (including myself)

is that the poster has a long history of being condescending and incredibly rude to anyone who disagrees with her. no matter how polite the interaction starts, if they continue to question what she is trying to get at she quickly calls names, accuses people of personal attacks (despite just not agreeing with her), putting everyone that disagrees with her on her 'iggy list' and a slew of other behaviours that frankly border on pathological (and I am not trying to be rude here... just a statement of opinion).

i know you're trying to defend and help... but she brought it all on herself.

sP

[hrmjustin]

29. Well it is also a two way street. Some people here on Du have been mean just for the fun of it.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

30. some people do make a joke of it

but she just fans the flames... i have actually begun to think she just enjoys it. and if that's the case, more power to her.

sP

[pintobean]

27. That's a two way street.

When people have repeatedly reached out with an olive branch, only to be beaten with it every time, they're not always so forgiving.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

28. been there...

didn't get a t-shirt... got iggy'ed...

sP

[tammywammy]

40. Anyone that gets personal or frankly asks her a question gets put on her ignore list.

Or she at least posts a "plonk" or whatever phrase she uses these days. So I wouldn't worry about those that are pointing things out to Nadine, because I doubt she sees it anyway.

Seriously, I think I got the ignore when I pointed out there are 100cm in a meter and not 60.

Nadine dishes it out but can't take even honest questions about her "nooze" articles.

[OilemFirchen]

33. From that thread:

"Now this is the last you will hear from me"

Wait, wait, wait... did she just put Skinner on ignore?

[Cali_Democrat]

34. That's it, Skinner....

Off to ignore you go along with the rest of those ingrates who don't appreciate my brilliance!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. Title corrected

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. It is weird to watch your local scandal on national

And Todd Gloria, (who has national aspirations) on the Hayes show.

Hayes forgot a little detail. Jan Golstein, city attorney, now has rules in place where the mayor cannot be alone, with any woman, in city hall.

That is a tiny little detail.

(And the third presser yesterday)
