Breaking: San Diego mayor to enter counseling clinic
(CNN) - - San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, publicly accused of sexual harassment by seven women, said Friday he will enter "a behavior counseling clinic" for two weeks of intensive therapy starting August 5. In a statement given at City Hall, he apologized "to the women I have offended." "The behavior I have engaged in over many years is wrong. My failure to respect women and the intimidating conduct I engaged in at times is inexcusable," he said.

If you want some therapy, get a DVD and some lotion. Geesh!
Paid for by the taxpayer, of course. The only thing this dirtbag should be entering is the unemployment line.
Run this guy out of office already.
"The behavior I have engaged in over the years is wrong".
Yes it is, and 'two weeks of intensive therapy' won't cure you. Why don't you resign, spend the rest of your life
in therapy, and let the people of San Diego have their dignity back. Creepo..........
It is obvious that these two "would be" men of professiional ethics never learned the "facts of life"! Their behavior is abhorable and stoops to the lowest of respect and integrity! This is not a professional opinion, but to say the least, for these two guys and many more like them in this "loose" society", that seems to be growing in that direction, their weiner did not get well done and their behavior is that of a fourth grade child searching for the meaning of life–and they just have not found it yet!! So, why should we respect them and continue to re-elect this kind of individual, man or woman, to make decisions about the or actions of government while the world watches!!
Another democrat . This guy has president written all over
As a woman......I wonder why these other women have taken this treatment from this clod.....why don't they just haul off and smack him.... I really think i would !!!!... He'd need therapy by the time i expressed my opinion!!!!
TO REVOLUTION........ Like a republican would never act this way???? Give us a break and wake up to reality!!!!
!
I hope you're wrong about taxpayers paying for this, Fair. Of course, true or not, CNN couldn't bother to inform us in this piece.
Good for him. Or, is it bad on him? He's taking the first step. Four more and he'll be out the door. [pun intended]
Geez, would you take a look at this guy?! No wonder women are complaining. Just looking at him makes you feel like you need a shower. Democrats like Filner and Weiner need to stop this war on women!!
He needs to be taken from office. If he doesn't leave peacefully, then by force if necessary. He is another egomaniac needing shut down.
