San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldmith said Friday that Mayor Bob Filner is back a week earlier than expected from therapy triggered by sexual harassment allegations and that the locks to his office have been changed.

Goldsmith said he couldn't discuss why the mayor's office locks were changed.

“We are working cooperatively with chief of staff Lee Burdick and (chief operating officer) Walt Ekard," Goldsmith said.

The mayor's surprising return comes after he reportedly checked into a counseling clinic a week early. He had announced that he would start two weeks of therapy at an undisclosed clinic beginning last Monday, Aug. 5, and would return to work Aug. 19.

1. The bizarre saga continues. n/t

2. The question is... Was he locked in, or out?

I would think that either would do.

3. Unbelievable. eom

4. Maybe

the therapist felt he couldn't be helped or was not participating in the therapy as was required. I would imagine if he was not doing the work required he was asked to leave.

5. Maybe it was a miracle.

We don't really have a **snort** tag, do we?

6. Nobody would be able to modify his behavior in 2 weeks.

7. I'll bet he told the therapists he

is cured now and doesn't need anymore therapy,and I'll bet the therapists strongly disagreed. This guy is a car wreck.

8. Admittting you have a problem is always the first step in Recovery.

I doubt that he has done that - really done that to himself. He seems pretty clueless to me. This perv should be resign.

9. They guy is a creepy predator. He should resign and let a real mayor take charge.

10. Okay, as long as no women were locked in the office with him!

For the sake of sanity, impeach this creep!
