San Diego Mayor Wants City to Defend Him
Embattled San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has requested that the city represent him and pay his legal expenses in his defense of a sexual harassment suit brought by a former employee.

Meanwhile, dueling efforts to recall Filner are underway. Pallamary published a newspaper notice Sunday to mark the first step of a recall bid, two days after gay rights activist Stampp Corbin did so. Corbin had been an ardent Filner supporter.
Maybe Stampp feels jilted?
Nope, Stampp is doing it for cover. Law says that if a recall petition fails, another can't be filed for six months. Stampp filed the petition and then said he wouldn't work to get signatures -- therefore it fails. Thus it protects his pal Filner. Ain't politics grand?
