Man, what is it about San Diego voters? First Duke Cunningham, now a string of mayors:
Jurors found Zucchet guilty of conspiracy, extortion and wire fraud two hours before he was to preside over his first City Council meeting following the departure of Dick Murphy, who had resigned Friday to give San Diego a fresh start amid a widening federal probe of the city's deficit-ridden pension fund.
"I suspect he'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for the shortest time as mayor," said Jerry Coughlan, Zucchet's attorney.
Whatever criteria those folks are using to judge character, it's wrong.
