Typical Democrat

From the San Diego Union Times: The drive to recall Mayor Bob Filner began in earnest Monday as the beleaguered politician made a formal request for taxpayers to pick up the tab for his legal fees stemming from a sexual harassment lawsuit.....
While the recall movement was expected to take off this week, it surprised many that Filner would ask taxpayers to foot the bill for his legal troubles.

City Council President Todd Gloria announced the mayor’s request at the end of Monday’s meeting and said it would be discussed by the council in closed session Tuesday. It’s not likely to garner much support given that seven of the nine council members have called on Filner to resign in recent weeks.

Gloria said he’s not willing to spend taxpayer money on Filner’s legal fees.

“This is about personal behavior,” he said. “We certainly provide defenses to city employees who have been caught up in legal issues as a result of their day-to-day work but obviously sexual harassment is not tolerated in the city. It’s not necessary for the conduct of your work. I think it would send the wrong message to taxpayers that we’d be willing to pay for the defense.”

The fact he and his lawyer asked for legal fees means he is not taking the accusations of sexual harassment seriously and he doesn't believe he did anything wrong.
Just more typical Democratic politician/liberal/Obama voter behavior- they feel entitled to anything- whether the deserve it or not.  They blame everybody but themselves for their lot in life and then demand that the government bail them out.
