So now the mayor's lawyer has sent a letter to the City stating it is their fault not his because they never provided sexual harassment training to him. The sad thing is, this sort of thing could actually have a chance of standing up in court.

Marti Emerald's political career is probably definitely over after this as well. I can't understand her logic on this. Maybe she and Filner have some love affair or something? LOL. That's the only thing I can think of. But definitely I don't believe she should ever hold ANY future public office again after this. And I've heard that people want to recall her as well now due to her ignorance.

Yeah, it's totally sick that Filner is trying to blame this on the City. Just totally disgusting but honestly at this point, his lawyers are trying to come up with at least some strategy and game plan that will keep him (a) out of jail and (b) in the poor house. And I'm sure the lawyer most importantly is worried about getting his future legal bills paid. LOL.

You can't make this kind of stuff up!

I think you'd find many Republicans agreeing that Filner is their best friend.

Bob Filner may turn out to be Republicans' best friend - latimes.com

And to be fair Demaio's camp did warn about this last Fall: http://media.utsandiego.com/news/doc...out_Filner.pdf

Inappropriate but maybe Marti and Myrtle are looking for their chance to get into a Filner headlock.

The democrats were already damaged even before this Filner mess.
But if you Think the good ole boys in the GOP have someone else better to offer,You're a fool!

I've change my view on the city defending Filner.Looks like the city is better off if they do defend him.

Well, I feel a wave of guilt now knowing that I didn't train grabby Bob to keep his hands to himself. Anyone else? I mean, the guys only 70+ so I'm sure he has never been around females before in the work place.

BF and his lawyer are just strategizing. The man has little if any room to wiggle as shown by this attempt which on it's face is ludicrous. Any court would find that just because he missed the training does not excuse his grotesque attempts to fondle women. It would shock the conscience to allow this to stand and as such it is specious.

Secondly, his conduct may be criminal in which case it would not matter in any case. Looks like the city is getting good advice. I think that they are building a case of criminal conduct. If they think that they can make it stick it's the city's next play imho.

LMAO First Kelvin then Celsius and now:

Somebody should invent a municipal dysfunction meter. Measurement units could be "Filners." Maybe one Filner would be composed of two Weiners. Or three Spitzers.)
