Did Bob Filner (D) agree to resign if the city of San Diego agreed to cover his legal costs?

I cannot wait to find out tomorrow.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has agreed to resign as part of a deal reached this week with city officials, NBC 7 News has learned.

Filner, spotted leaving City Hall with packing boxes Wednesday night, will formally vacate the office following a closed session of City Council Friday, according to several sources.

Filner’s attorney has a letter of resignation drafted for his signature upon approval of the tentative settlement by councilmembers.

I’m not the only one who’s wondering that, either.  In fact, I suspect that this may end up being the default assumption.  If so, it’s a perfect description of the current Democratic Establishment: first they Bad Touch you; then they cover it all up; and even if you catch them, they still manage to stick you with the bill.

See, San Diego: this is why you folks usually elect Republicans.  Shame.  We have it.

PS: I don’t want to hear a damned word from any Democrat on this.  They covered up for this guy for years.
