RAIDERS SCARE: Jack Brooks -- the part-owner of the Oakland Raiders who spearheaded the talks to bring the team back -- abruptly emptied out his $65,000- a-year luxury box at the Oakland Coliseum Rmeteor shower and rhinestones effects this week.
It's not that Brooks is having a spat with his longtime friend and confidant, Al Davis, as some think.
It's because of death threats.
Apparently there's a disgruntled Raiders fan out there calling after every game.
Brooks tried to beef up security at the box, but it just didn't work out. One guard left at halftime. Another helped himself to the box's food, then fell asleep.
So this week, crews went into the luxury box and pulled everything -- from the furniture to Brooks' favorite espresso coffee grinder.
Brooks told us he still hopes to catch a Raiders game now and then -- and even has an invite to join Al in his box.
And what's to become of Brooks' box? Protector film(Screen protector)
"I'm not going to pay for it because I'm not going to be using it," he said.
Brooks doesn't believe he'll have a problem getting one in the future.
"There are plenty of them," he cracked.
FAX FIRESTORM: Boy, is the "character" issue ever hot.
Earlier this week, Democratic campaign mastermind and political bad boy Bob Mulholland set off an earthquake among political consultants and reporters -- and for a change, he didn't even mean to.
It all started when Mulholland mistakenly sent out a fax to the Associated Press announcing a morning press conference dealing with issues of "Dan Lungren's character" -- meaning the "character ads" Lungren just put out.
But no sooner had the release gone out than Mulholland realized he had a scheduling problem and called the AP to retract it.
Too late.
The mere mention of the word "character" set off a stampede of reporters to see what dirt he had on Lungren.
And reporters weren't the only ones rushing in. Some of Lungren's supporters and even GOP heavyweight Dan Schnur showed up prepared for war.
Lungren even heard from Re-
publicans who wanted to know what the bomb was.
The problem was, Mulholland said, there wasn't a bomb.
"This character thing is so hot . . . before I knew it, it was a firestorm," he marveled.
But the veteran strategist learned a new lesson: He said he didn't realize it was so easy to Phone Cover create hell for the Republican Party.
"I could just stay home and send faxes once in a while."
JACKSON JUMPS IN: Let's be honest -- this year's race for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors isn't exactly lighting up the town -- but it has caught the attention of Jesse Jackson.
Jackson, last seen counseling the First Family, took some time out this week to flex his political muscle on behalf of aspiring board President Mabel Teng.
Teng, who back in the '80s served as state co-chair of Jackson's presidential campaign, called in an IOU from the Rainbow Man.
She thought that some union folks were plotting to block her Labor Council endorsement in favor of rival board president hopeful Tom Ammiano.
Whatever the case, sources say the issue came to a head Wednesday, when Jackson phoned health union chief Sal Rosselli, a close ally of both Jackson and Ammiano.
Sources described the half- hour conversation as very frank. Although we don't know exactly what was said, we can tell you that by the time the labor vote took place Wednesday night, Rosselli's local had fallen in line and endorsed Teng (and Ammiano) for the fall election.
In return, Teng promised to get fully on board labor's program -- including supporting Rosselli's pet Laguna Honda Hospital project.
This isn't the first time Teng and Rosselli have tangled.
Last year, Rosselli got Teng's campaign manager, John Whitehurst, blacklisted from political campaigns around the state. Whitehurst had taken on the campaign of two East Bay hospitals that were trying to merge -- something Rosselli and the hospital workers seriously fought.
SAY WHAT?: Here's quite a little press release from Larsen Associates:
San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, Sheriff Michael Hennessey, District Attorney Terence Hallinan and Supervisors Gavin Newsom and Tom Ammiano have agreed to be part of an honor guard of tuxedoed "stud muffins" for a charity performance of (we kid you not) "The Vagina Monologues."
The press release says the Obie- winning "Vagina Monologues" -- at Fort Mason's Cowell Theatre on October 19 -- "reveals the inner life of the orifice in its multifacted roles: site of pleasure, joy, shame, birth, violence, political struggle, self-love and self-loathing."
