Aguirre has been largely right about his complaints. But he's been extremely impolitic, constantly calling on his City Hall brethren to resign and embarrassing witnesses at open council meetings. Even some of his fans say his conduct has been unbecoming of his office, calling him a latter-day Savanarola seeing guilt everywhere he looks. George Mitrovich, head of the City Club of San Diego, likens him to Cromwell--"Oliver or Thomas, take your pick."
That the accuser now stands accused should provide rich fodder for his enemies. Of course, as Aguirre points out himself, he quickly copped to his own mistakes and is trying to make them right. That's more than some of his political opponents can say.
