Just another set-up

 
[Cross-posted] I know my friend Jennifer Siebel has attracted some negative press over some comments in the San Francisco media. To my colleagues in the media: give over. So, someone can’t express an opinion any more, just because she’s dating the Mayor? Did she lie, based on what she knew? No. Is she doing the right thing by standing by her boyfriend? Yes. I know Jennifer Siebel to be a quality gal, and in the 21st century, even if the San Francisco media is surprised by this, actresses are allowed to go on to the internet and state what is on their minds.
   I don’t know the other parties to this, but for a spokesman on the other side to say that they were ‘mortified’ by Jen’s statements is just one of those bleeding-heart exaggerations that we non-Americans laugh at. If you were embroiled in an affair, then I doubt an opinion that you will have heard countless times, and have come to expect from the Mayor’s side, is even surprising.
   Sounds to me like Jen’s not the one wanting to score points here, just a publicist wanting to look like he is doing something worthwhile. What surprises me is how he has suckered some journos into covering it.
