He Actually Said It

From a San Francisco Chronicle 'Matier and Ross' interview with Mayor Gavin Newsom:

M&R: Speaking of values, what's you [sic] biggest success so far?

Newsom: Moving from failure to failure with enthusiasm. [Emphasis mine - ed.]

A real curious statement, don't you think? My take is he means he searches for and races into losing battles, or something like that.
