And another one

She looks familiar.

Why do Democrats keep doing this?!?!

She played Zelda Gilroy in the legendary sitcom Dobie Gillis in the early 60s.

Holy crap, R3, I thought you were joking! That really is Sheila Kuehl. I'm surprised this isn't getting more publicity.

Man, that’s one ugly broad.

Our own DLers are planning orgies during this. As bad as these diners.

She spoke to my junior high school class ages ago.

It was the first time I figured out what a Lesbian was.

Jeez, what a non-story. She ate outside before the ban went into effect, trying to help her favorite restaurant.

Politicians, like the mega rich, believe they are above the rest of us. Laws, like taxes, are for the "little people."

Its like the celebrities who tell us that we are over-privileged and should reduce carbon emissions, welcome endless immigration, etc, while they fly around in their private jets and live in gated neighborhoods.

Wait. She did something legal, the night before the ban started? She took advantage of going out the last night before a new ban started? THE OUTRAGE!

Old habits are hard to break--she's been dining at the Y for decades.

60 years ago when I was 7 years old I knew she was a lesbo.

She went to Harvard Law School. Brilliant woman. Said she couldn't get hired to play anything because she was gay. Being homely probably didn't help.

Caught her eating out.

The issue is that she voted to ban outdoor dining because she said it’s not safe. If it’s not safe, why did she do it? If she wanted to support the business, she would have voted for restrictions that make sense. She could have donated money to the restaurant or ordered take out as well.

Odd that OP's link and all the other news items about this don't even mention that she was a famous TV star.

[quote] 60 years ago when I was 7 years old I knew she was a lesbo.

The network did a pilot for a show starring her character Zelda. They didn’t pick it up because she was told “you were too butch.” A pretty scary thing to hear in 1960.

They did a Dobie Gillis reunion (or 2?) where Dobie & Zelda were married. It was unwatchable. Both Zelda & Maynard were too hard to look at and Zelda was obviously gay.

The Andy Griffith producers was more enlightened.

She was very good on the Dobie Gillis show.

R15 if it’s true that she had voted to ban outdoor dining and yet went to her favorite restaurant and dine there outdoors, then yes it’s another case of hypocrisy. However, she could claim that the ban wasn’t in place when she did it so technically there’s nothing wrong in what she did. But the problem lies in the fact that her private behavior directly contradicted her public stance as a legislator. This is a repeat of Newsome’s recent embarrassment. Our leaders in government should be held to not a different standard but at the very least the standard to which they pay lip service.

Maybe someone convinced her the next day that restaurants should close so she voted in favor of it.

She went to the restaurant AFTER she voted for the ban, R21.

I’m not outraged, sorry.

I didn’t even recognize her. I knew she went into politics, but never would have thought she was still in office. Time is brutal especially to bull dykes.

She’s about 80, isnt she? I know Chatsworth Osborne Jr died about a few years ago & Dwayne Hickman is getting closer to 90. She needs to think about retirement.

The takeaway I got is: "Supervisor Kuehl has eaten at Il Forno virtually every night for many years"

This weirdo goes to the same restaurant every night for dinner? Sure, if you got the time and money to go out for dinner every night, that's one thing, but to go to the SAME PLACE every time? That's what children do. Does she have child brain?

Here's their dinner menu.

There's some people who do that, R26. They never cook for themselves.

Yup, r27. My 75 year old neighbor, who is 100% Italian American, gets takeout every single night from the Italian place on our corner. She was married for years but her husband was on the road a lot for work and they never had kids. She often ate meals cooked by her mother, who died a few years ago in her late 90s, so she never learned to cook.

Good thing Dobie didn’t marry her. He never would’ve had a home cooked meal & she would have girlfriends on the side. Dobie always wanted a dreamy, creamy girl and Zelda did not fit the bill,

R29 LOL.

R29 = Thalia Menninger

I would never have married Dobie. He didn’t have the money for someone like me. My poor father had a kidney condition & it took money for him to get proper treatment and my sister married a no good layabout. Even if my father had kidneys of steel, my mother was younger than spring-time, and my sister was married to a trillionaire. . . I'd still want money

Jesus, I thought that it was Louie Anderson at first!

Allowing these sociopaths to participate in civilized society is fatal to civilization. It should be exiled to Venezuela or North Korea so it can learn about the dangers of totalitarian communism.

The smoked salmon pizza with pesto sounds really good.

I guess I’d be willing to be a hypocrite for that.

(She’s a huge one, by the way)

Intelligent people have realized that the chances of dying from Covid are much lower than they are from eating sushi or driving a car.

“If you are advocating for lockdowns, you are complicit in tearing families apart. You are complicit in inflicting untold suffering on millions of people around the world. You are complicit in casting the poorest and most vulnerable in our societies into even further grinding poverty. You are complicit in murder.”

We need brief strategic, coordinated lockdowns and travel restrictions. These half-ass, long term lockdowns do not work. The problem is that most of us are too selfish or weak to actually do it, and we lack to leadership to plan it.
