We noted yesterday that state senator Yee, not a friend of
UC particularly on the pension, is in deep you-know-what after his arrest.
He is termed out of the senate and his candidacy for Secretary of State
has undoubtedly come to an abrupt end. And
what an end!
Yesterday, all we knew was
that he was arrested. Subsequent stories
provide the amazing background.
State Sen. Leland Yee arrested on corruption charges in FBI
sting:

FBI: California Sen. Leland Yee took bribes, trafficked guns

In any event, this looks like The End:

PS: Below are the comments from Yee fan/flacks received on
our 2010 post showing Yee’s webpage which just contained PhD until corrected,
as shown below. (We are switching soon
to a new format where the old comments may not appear in the new system’s
archiving so we are reproducing them below.)
Maybe these anonymous commentators would like to rethink their
enthusiasm?

Why are you misrepresenting Senator Yee's website, even
going so far as to make up a fake screenshot? His website doesn't say
"Ph.D." It says "Senator Leland Yee, Ph.D." which is how
his name is listed in the Senate roster just like Ed Hernandez, OD in the
Assembly. And we thank Senator Yee for leading the charge for much-needed
transparency at UC.

what a sad,small,insensitive post
to people of faith
to people of color
just really offensive on many levels
race, religion, color
especially in this season
(and it seems a tinge of misogyny toward a black woman
thrown in for good measure)
Yee earned his PhD - in fact the SCOTUS are considering a
case related to Yee, Child Psychology and violent video games right now, so-
that PhD-- it come [sic] in handy-- for some anyway.
And a doctored screen shot is just sketchy- don't you want
to maintain credibility?-- some dolt with a PhD likely did that too.
So much for the focus on PhD...
also, [sic] Yee has launched an exploratory [sic] on running
for mayor - not yet announced his candidacy - but we doubt the author is
concerned with a small thing called facts-- which is too bad since this is
supposed to be a blog run by faculty (YIKES!)...that's disappointing- too bad
for the Bruins.
wasn't [sic] it Yudof himself who said we should not believe
in "faith-based budgets"-- why, yes, it was...
what's [sic]good for the goose surely should be good for the
gander- Fiat Lux -on the books, on everything.

Actually, as of 7 AM, 12/5/10, the image shown is EXACTLY
what appears on Senator Yee's webpage. Just PhD, no name.

California Policy Issues:
whether [sic] it is as of 7am or whatever:
normal [sic] users notify the webmaster (usually listed on
the bottom of pages if you are new to the internet)-- they are the ones
responsibly for making sure web pages display properly. It is likely a coding
problem.
The disingenuous snark statement of "the only state
senator who puts Ph.D. at the top of his official webpage." still was not
necessary -- along with all the rest of the low social i.q. content of the
post.

As the person responsible for Senator Yee's page, it never
just said "Ph.D." in the headline. I have looked at the coding for
the past several years and the only change in headline has been from
"Senator Leland Y. Yee, Ph.D." to "Senator Leland Yee,
Ph.D." In terms of the bill, fortunately most faculty members and
organizations support the legislation as well as several student groups, tax
organizations, open government advocates, newspapers, et al.

Now that you are calling me a liar - and somehow falsifying
what in fact appeared on the webpage on Saturday and then Sunday when you
raised the point - I am done with this dialog. Believe your eyes. What you see
is what there was on Saturday and Sunday. No tricks. I simply went to the
website, saw what you see with PhD in the left-hand upper corner, hit
printScreen, save the image, and put it on the screen. WYSIWYG. If you are
managing Yee's webpage, please do not blame me for your errors.
