A mayoral 'F' bomb

How heated is the race for mayor of San Diego between incumbent Mayor Jerry Sanders and wealthy challenger Steve Francis? Well, the San Diego Union-Tribune has the account of the post-debate handshake that wasn't.

Instead of reaching out for the classic post debate grab-and-grin, Sanders, who has been the target of much of Francis' spending, said, "F--- you, Steve."

"I am really tired of people thinking we should be buddies," Sanders told the Union-Tribune. "People expect us to just shake hands and be buddies. I'm not going to do that. That's the height of hypocrisy."
