PAUL BOUTIN - Anonymous tip from a friend in town for RSA:

Didn't see the news until just now about Newsom going into "rehab".

Very clearly a PR ploy — and not even a very good one. Don't think that we'll be seeing him down at the Dry Dock....

The Dry Dock is what old-timers call the Marina Dock, the Alcoholics Anonymous club at the intersection of Fillmore and Greenwich Streets. The area, known as the Triangle to locals, is dotted on three of its corners with successful businesses that Newsom's Plumpjack Group launched before he became Mayor. A wine store, a bar, a nightclub ... spot the pattern? The Dock is a few steps from the fourth corner. Surely many of Newsom's constituents have stumbled past it on their way to and from his thriving booze-based businesses. I lived on Greenwich Street in the 90s, and saw many a more famous celeb go into or out of the Dock, unrecognized or at least unbothered. Where on earth would Mayor McDreamy be more welcome? Gavin, if you seriously want to sober up and continue to run this town, Step 0 is understanding what it means to be Anonymous.
