Defamer
We're really not much for the political tongue-wagging, especially involving NorCal politics, but someone forwarded us this story about San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom's jaunt to LA with current fling Sofia Milos of CSI: Miami, which included a trip to hang with everyone's favorite Scientology-sponsored, anti-psychiatry attack-dog group:
Things must have clicked, because this past weekend Newsom — who is in the midst of a divorce with his TV-commentating wife Kimberly Guilfoyle — jetted off to spend a couple of days in La-La Land with Milos.The mayor checked into the Chateau Marmont, the show-biz hotel just north of the Sunset Strip that is perhaps best known as the spot where comedian John Belushi overdosed on cocaine and heroin.
On Newsom's agenda: a little visit with his new actress friend, then off with her to the Beverly Hilton to attend the annual dinner of the Citizens Commission for Human Rights.
It all sounded innocuous enough, until someone found out that the Citizens Commission for Human Rights had been co-founded by the Church of Scientology to expose ethical violations by psychiatrists and to raise questions about the use of psychiatric medicines.
It's really hard to fault Newsom, even if he's mayor of a fancy city and should probably watch what nutty advocacy groups he rubs elbow with; pretty much every guy in this town could go on for hours about all the stupid things they did just to fuck an actress.

Poster seen on many a coffeehouse during Newsom's mayoral race: "Compassionate Conservatism" w/illustrations of Bush, Arnie, and Gavin. Only would that city compare him to Bush when the rest of the country would label him a pinko-commie.
Man, what went wrong with him and his wife? Kim is WAY hotter than Milos. Sorry, but true. And not all up in the Sci-Tol biz either I bet. Politicians and actresses...dumb, dumb, dumb Gavin. See: Marilyn (oops dead), Jeri Ryan (oops sex scandal)...
I lost respect for Gavin when his phone number was found in Paris Hilton's Palm Pilot. I could give him a pass for that horsey faced talking head, but Paris? And now this? Oh Gavin, what a waste.
er, I mean Sidekick. Whatever the kids are calling them these days.
This man embarrasses me to the point where I would almost rather say I'm from L.A.
Yeah, and Gavin's a guy who used to tread on his Catholic-ness as well.
Hmmmm . . . could Gavin be pulling a contra-Cruise? She's the culty one and he's the arm-candy? Commenting from SF Bay Area .. We all love Gavin but my antennae, and his hairgelled and regularly scheduled political grandstanding, tell me he's gunning for an acting career. Something to keep tabs on, for sure. I've met him, and overall, he's a solid dude. Also, the SF Chronicle is a total piece of shit rag, so take anything they write w/a grain of reality.
My bet is that Gavin Newsom is smart enough to know that Scientology won't get him the governor's chair. And with approval ratings in the 80s, I think Gavin can overcome this ultimately silly event. After all, I've done very shameful things in pursuit of actress poon-tang, so if anything, Gavin doing this just makes me think more of him. But seriously, Gavin, Scientology is bad. Stay away.
