I actually live and vote in Los Angeles, and believe me, he will be just fine. It's not as though he took money or robbed an election. He cheated on his wife and that's HER problem, not mine. SF mayor Gavin Newsom, slept with his best friend's wife, who also happened to be a paid member of his staff. Nothing happened to him. NY mayor Rudy Giuliani had an affair with Judith Nathan, and now he's the front runner in the Republican primary. And what's with this stupid notion from the media, especially the LA Times, that Latinos are suposed to be "ashamed" of what he did? Why should I be ashamed of something that has nothing to do with me? I didn't see the media telling Italian-Americans to be "ashamed" of Giuliani's indiscretions. They didn't tell white people to be ashamed of Newsom's affair, and I didn't see the media telling gays or the Irish to be ashamed of McGreevy. Shame is a waste of time. It's how people are kept "in their place." We can thank the Catholic Church for that kind of brainwashing. Give me a break.
