Top PrizeNot that we'd hound the mayor's former mistress, but if we did, here's a list of questions we'd promise not to ask.By Will HarperPublished on April 17, 2007 at 4:08pmRuby. Rippey. Hyphen. Tourk. No doubt, you know the name. She's Mayor Gavin Newsom's ex-mistress and one-time appointments secretary, and her frosted-blond headshot has prettied up plenty a newspaper story. Yet, despite her ubiquity, she's still a mystery. There's so much we don't know. But she's not talking not even to investigators for City Attorney Dennis Herrera, who released an inconclusive report last week on Rippey-Tourk's unusual paid leave for her "catastrophic illness." We in media-land are all drooling to have the exclusive interview with the publicity-shy paramour. Even Newsom-nag Dan Noyes of KGO hasn't scored a sit-down with Rippey-Tourk despite promising to do it on her terms even offering not to edit the televised Q&A. Well, if Noyes is going to shamelessly lower journalistic standards, we oughta be able to, too! So, Ruby, dahling, bubbelah, why don't you consider talking to us? We're very open-minded. Just look at all our escort and pot-club ads. We won't pester you with the prying questions everyone wants to ask. In fact, here's a list of questions we promise not to pose: ·You worked as the mayor's appointment secretary. Was it ever awkward having to schedule sex with him? ·How would you describe the mayor's, uh, job performance? A) Too focused on his own poll. B) Lame duck. C) Down and dirty mudslinger. D) Just like MUNI never on time. ·On the topic of harassment, did Gavin ever demand to insert his pork into your legislation? ·So, would it be accurate to say you served at the pleasure of the mayor? ·Sorry to be so focused on sex. What are your thoughts on inclusionary zoning? ·Tell us this: If you were an animal, what animal would you sleep with? ·Did Gavin ever ask if you were a swing voter? ·Is he the kind of politician who likes to brag about the size of his caucus? ·Tell us about Gavin's hair. Do the carpets match the drapes? In other words, does he use gel on his short-hairs? ·Wasn't your love so great, so totally consuming, that it could be termed catastrophic? Certainly the outcome was, according to Dan Noyes. ·Let's not dwell on the past and look to the future. Will you be sleeping with any other mayoral candidates? ·Is it true that you are SF Rita? ·Gavin boxers or briefs? So there you have it, Ruby. How does that sound? If you're interested, drop us a line.
