Even by San Francisco standards, Mistress of all Media Gloria Allred'slive-streamed news conference decrying Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell's homophobic harangue at AT&T Park was over the top.

Flanked by the twin 9-year-old girls who witnessed it, Allred described McDowell's April 23 outburst at three heckling spectators in graphic detail.

"Are you three giving it to each other up the ... ?" Allred quoted McDowell as saying, as the two girls in matching pink sweaters and pigtails looked on.

Then Allred picked up a baseball bat and, with the help of the girls' father, pantomimed a sex act - as McDowell allegedly did at the ballpark. (You can see it at links.sfgate.com/ZKYN.)

"I'm sure it's disturbing - but these are the facts," Allred told us afterward.

But if the little girls were really so traumatized at AT&T, why put them through it again?

"The parents gave permission to do that," Allred said. "I don't think my clients feel (the girls) understood that part of it in the way you and I understand it."

Besides, Allred said, what really traumatized the kids wasn't the sexual banter. It was the bat-wielding McDowell, supposedly approaching after their dad, Justin Quinn of Fresno, had objected to his remarks and asking him, "How much are your teeth worth?"

Not nearly as much as the family will probably get out of baseball for the incident.

Check, please: They're still counting the checks, but we hear President Obamatook in more than $3 million for the Democratic Party and his re-election during his recent Bay Area fundraising sweep.

The haul might have been bigger had they not canceled a gathering at the Peninsula home of former state Controller Steve Westly.

The party was axed to avoid calling further attention to recent news stories showing that Westly's venture capital firm has been the beneficiary of hundreds of millions in green-tech stimulus money being pushed by the White House.

Open door: Greg Suhr wasted no time making good on his promise to be an open-door police chief - ordering that the door to his office on the fifth floor at San Francisco's Hall of Justice be unlocked and remain that way.

"I want everyone, including the general public, to feel welcome," Suhr said.

The door was ordered locked by former Chief Heather Fong for security reasons. Her successor, George Gascón, continued the practice.

"This is probably the most secure building in the city," Suhr said of 850 Bryant St. "If you can't feel safe here, where can you?"

Some people who might not be feeling safe right now are the 11 assistant chiefs, deputy chiefs and commanders who make up the Police Department's bloated command staff.

Cutting the top tier down to size is one of Suhr's main priorities. It's something he almost has to do if he wants the rank-and-file to agree to hold off on the raises they're due in July.

By the way, a lot has been made of Suhr's local ties - and they do go deep.

His father owned the old H.F. Suhr Mortuary in the Mission, and his great-great grandfather was John Tadich, as in Tadich Grill.

Sign up: Creative Artists Agency, which handles the contracts of some of sports' biggest stars, has been hired by San Francisco 49ers to try to land a mega-naming rights deal for the team's planned Santa Clara stadium.

Under terms recently approved by the Santa Clara City Council, the naming rights recruiter will collect a commission of 5 to 10 percent on the deal.

So if Creative Artists scores anything like the 30-year, $700 million naming rights deal recently struck in Los Angeles for a proposed football stadium, the firm could be in line for $70 million.

On the other hand, if it looks like the six-year, $7.5 million deal that Overstock.com struck with Oakland for the Coliseum, Creative Artists would get more like $750,000.

Spotted: San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón and possible rival Bill Fazio having coffee at Mel's at Van Ness and Geary on Wednesday, just before the swearing-in of the new police chief.

The homegrown Fazio, a former deputy D.A. turned defense counselor, would have the highest name recognition of any of Gascón's possible opponents in the November election.

Fazio, however, has already run for the office twice, losing both times.

"People are talking to me about it," Fazio said. "If I do decide to run, I'll make the decision in June or July."
