Just photos for the time being, I’m afraid—we have a newspaper to put to bed. In the meantime, you can watch it all over at Katu, if you’re interested. And check back to Blogtown later for updates.

Is that Ruiz standing there in the last photo?
Check out the “undated photo” at

[ apparently originally from here:

With that Obama/Biden pin you know the photo was taken in mid-August 2008 or later. How long did their relationship last?
Also, the “NO MINORS” sign in the background is pretty funny.
I really don’t know why everyone is up in his business about an 18 year old.
It’s about the lying at this point.
p.s. I still want him to serve as mayor.
He was asked multiple times about this point blank when voters could have decided if it was important or not. He lied about it.
If sleeping with 18-year-olds is no big deal, he should have just admitted it. No harm, no foul, right?
It’s nice to know that when I hit 40 I can start grooming 17 year old girls to screw immediately upon their 18th birthday, and judging by a lot of people here, they won’t find that the least bit troubling. In fact, they’d gladly elect me to the highest offices in the land.
Standards, people.
That pic features an Obama-Biden pin – October 2008. Is he still going to stick to his “only” a 2 month affair in 2005? One poster said it best – repeated behavior and repeated lies are not A mistake. They are a pattern.
Story on CNN:

Blabby, type “barely 18” into Google and you’ll see some interesting standards–and not much evidence of anybody feeling particularly troubled.
Even better Matt, the story is on Perez Hilton:

Matt, do you and Brian Barker carpool to these things?
Could CNN have possibly picked a creepier photo of him for their article. Horrible.
Save the mayor!
I really don’t care. I’m annoyed that this is even an issue. Consenting adults can boink like bunnies (or not) and it’s none of our business.
Please…if you’re going to characterize a sexual relationship between a politically hungry 18 year old, and a hot city commissioner as pedophilia you really need to reconsider. This wasn’t an example of a predator taking advantage of a victim. This was two men getting exactly what they wanted; sex and companionship. Unfortunately one of them wanted publicity as well, while the other one…not so much. Let Sam apologize and carry on serving the city he’s already worked so hard for.
