Maybe it's about the sex for you, Dan.

Don't try to lecture Portlanders who actually do think it's about the lies. It's certainly not about the lies for the jesus freaks and people who actually think Sam should resign. But a lot of people are genuinely pissed off about the lying and the most important part of the lying? The cover up efforts. A lot of people suspect there is more to it and that fear and suspicion and potential for more lies to be revealed all adds up to a hysteria.

However, everyone has his own agenda, so I guess you're allowed yours, too.

It's not the sex for me, Dan. Just because you can't imagine not thinking about sex doesn't mean that we aren't capable of it.

What is this arrogant prick doing coming down here anyway? As if we can't survive without knowing Dan Savage's take on this situation. "What will Dan say? We need our marching orders."

God, I hope he doesn't decide to stay.

"(Fun fact: the age of consent in Washington is 16. So if Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels banged Beau's 16-year-old sister, Bovina Breedlove, Greg could continue to be Seattle's mayor-for-life.)"

No, because he would be forced to RESIGN, dipshit.

Sorry, Dan, you're wrong. It is all about the lie. A lie that Adams campaigned on, misled voters with, and defeated/maligned another gay candidate with. Even worse, Adams called his self-described "inappropriate" relationship "mentoring", claimed he was a victim of homophobia, and rallied the gay community for support.

If Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels banged a consenting 16-year-old and lied during a campaign about it, then you can be certain Seattle voters would be just as furious.

(BTW, I'm a fan of your column, but not of your analysis of Portland's politics or off-base assumptions about Portlanders. Are you still sore about your column being dropped by Willamette Week eons ago?)

Chime me in for it's about the lie. I could care less about the sex, hence why I voted for him and ignored the rumors initially.

Okay, "3.SrIZgXIn-94wlXob+TM*mLQxO?qXv^53.CJPq8&n&9TxsQWuEHZC:YlqeLUD&S ", I believe you.

Its nice to see that Dan Savage's understanding of the PDX body politik runs deep.
You don't have to be a suburban Jesus freak to have grown tired of Adams.
You don't have to care about a sex scandal either.

I'm 41 (DWM), and just got some recreational Viagra from my Doc. If Bovina is as hot as Beau I would be willing to buy her oyster shots and shirley temples and then bang her until she walks like a rodeo clown.

All in the name of providing a legal test case of course.

Please wait...
