For once, we have a campaign piece that made me laugh instead of crying. &#8211; San Francisco Bay Guardian<\/p>\n<p>OMG, A new best seller to be! &#8211; Some guy on the internet<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is talking about it! &#8211; SFist<\/p>\n<p>The 55-page parody shows Lee on the cover as downcast, grumpy and triple-chinned. The book recounts dozens of previously published stories detailing everything from the two district attorney investigations into alleged ethics violations by his supporters and alleged cronyism. \u2013 San Francisco Chronicle<\/p>\n<p>The 56-page booklet is heavily footnoted with URLs &#8211; The Bay Citizen<\/p>\n<p>((*sound of crickets*)) \u2013 Interim Mayor Ed Lee  <\/p>\n<p>The slim volume oozes sarcasm as it covers the history of Ed Lee\u2019s tenure as mayor, including his promise to not run for a full term and charges of inappropriate campaign donations from contractors. &#8211; San Francisco Examiner<\/p>\n<p>This is the first &#8220;hit&#8221; recipe in political history. &#8211; Eric Jaye<\/p>\n<p>Less than three-months hence, Lee\u2019s campaign is beset by multiple criminal investigations into alleged campaign money laundering, ballot tampering and other campaign election violations. &#8211; Fog City Journal<\/p>\n<p>[Ed Lee staff] were pretty disgusted by it. &#8211; Tony Winnicker<\/p>\n<p>Painstakingly put together to resemble the original propaganda mailer to the smallest detail. The type fonts are identical. The jaunty writing style is mocked all too well. &#8211; SF Weekly<\/p>\n<p>The Leland Yee for Mayor campaign has already distributed thousands of \u201cThe Real Ed Lee: The Untold, Untold Story\u201d to voters throughout San Francisco, however, the demand for the book has been so great that today Yee\u2019s campaign launched the book online at http:\/\/www.lelandyee.com\/the-untold-untold-story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t print the books fast enough,\u201d said Jim Stearns, Yee\u2019s campaign manager. \u201cNow that it is online every San Franciscan will have the opportunity to read this accurate account of our interim mayor and be able to compare his tarnished and corruption-filled record to Leland Yee\u2019s 23 years of leadership and experience fighting for our community, especially seniors, students, and the most vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Real Ed Lee: The Untold, Untold Story\u201d is a response to a book produced by one Ed Lee\u2019s billionaire IE committees, which falsely glorified the interim mayor and ignored the multiple scandals and ethics violations of his campaign.  The highlights of \u201cThe Real Ed Lee: The Untold, Untold Story\u201d include Lee becoming interim mayor on false pretenses, his approval of fraudulent contracts, giving \u201cgolden parachutes, embracing cronyism, failure to follow ethics laws, illegal campaign contributions, money laundering (well, the first time), voter fraud, and the city\u2019s future if Ed Lee were elected.  The book also includes \u201cWillie [Brown] &#038; Rose\u2019s [Pak] \u2018No Longer Secret\u2019 Make-A-Mayor Recipe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, Leland Yee has released several detailed plans on job creation, environmental protection, transportation, and schools.  Maybe the most important of his plans \u2013 \u201cAn Independent City Hall\u201d \u2013 would clean up City Hall, bring real transparency and accountability, kick out the powerbrokers, and return our local government to the people.
