Why is Wurster doing this?
A paycheck.
It's over, done, finito.
Everyone here knows that the republicans will force it onto the ballot and the city will overwhelmingly turn it down.
And everyone knows that the real tangible mistake Adams made will be staring at them everytime they go to Vancouver or make the trek up and down from Seattle.
Unless you like pavement.
So, Mayor Adams tried to find a way out of what he saw as a massive wall Ball had him pinned against with the "sex with a minor" lie, even going so far as to contemplate resignation and plotting a smooth transition of power...
And his staff plotted the response to prevent derailing city government?
Very noble. Go Sam!
You can put the papier-mache pulitzer away now, Matt.
gonetorio: Still mad that he didn't sleep with a 17 year old, I see. Weeping and withering over the fact that you can't accept that it wasn't a lie when he denied sleeping with a 17 year old and deflected the accusations made by Ball?
BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
When people say "so-and-so's head will explode", they don't mean it literally. They mean they'll descend into a morass of irrational and self-aggrandizing smuggery that ignores their epic failure.

Adams' decision was great.
Now Governor Gregoire won't have to inflict cold hard justice on Sam like he last name was Phillip Morris.
I don't give a flying frak anymore, just pick some lanes so Gregoire can get the frustration out.
