Remember that CA Special Election circus of "Gravis" vs. the 129 candidates who could raise the loot to pay their way onto the ballot [including Schwarzenegger, Gary Coleman, the porn star, the guy who hates plumber's crack, and the boy who never won a student government seat in his high school, and oh I could go on]? It really set a precedent for weird, not that we needed it in San Francisco.
But in the interest of keeping things... well.... interesting, San Francisco has somehow retained its ability to head right over the top of sweetly funny. This year it's Chicken John Vs. Ken-Doll Newsom. WHAT?! Celebrity Fight Night? SNL spoof on the WWF? Not yet, it's just your run-of-the-mill mayoral race around here. My favorite was this FULL PAGE ad in last week's Guardian.
Outcome? Though I've seen no indication that his plea fell on anything but deaf Ken Doll ears, Chicken John did come up with the money somehow, meaning he will now be on the ballot. And you thought this fall's reality series lineup would be dull.
