The missing mayor is still missing — and he’s not even talking to the Chron reporters or to C.W. Nevius. He did, however, agree to an interview with the Examiner’s Ken Garcia — and for a guy who was the only one allowed to talk to the mayor since his campaign for governor collapsed and he fled the city, Garcia completely failed to ask any serious questions. Here’s the entire report on Garcia’s hard-hitting interview:

Besides, Newsom told me, “I love this town and I love this job, and I still have a few years left to do some of the things I want to.”

As for ducking from the press, he said the whole idea is “delusional.”

“I’ve been out doing events. I just haven’t had a news conference,’’ Newsom said.

Man, with Ken Garcia on the case, we have nothing to fear.
