A Picture Says A Thousand Words

In response to questions as to the public or private circumstances of the denied handshake, the Steve Francis for Mayor campaign released the following photo.

Yesterday, Mayor Jerry Sanders admitted to rejecting Steve Francis's offered handshake after their Earth Day debate on Sunday, and instead said, "F*** you, Steve." In response to the Mayor's admission, Charles Gallagher, Campaign Manager for the Steve Francis for Mayor campaign issued the following statement:

"This kind of nasty campaigning is what people don't like about politics. At a time when our city is facing a budget crisis, and a $1 billion pension debt, we expect our leaders to take a serious approach to issues. Instead, the mayor can't display the common courtesy of a simple handshake, and instead makes a mean-spirited remark and walks away. I guess we're on notice for the rest of this campaign to expect 'no more Mr. Nice Guy.'"
