He's getting almost as much play around here as Obama. Every day, it seems, brings a new tidbit.
It turns out that Portland's latest pedophilic Mayor was, in fact, boinking a kid who was 17. Isn't that sweet? Maybe Sam, like his fellow Democrat Neil, can go on to become Governor. Maybe not. Neil was a master of the cover-up; Sam's clearly not in his league.
Anyone remember Bob Packwood, who was drummed out of the US Senate for the crime of tossing back a few glasses of boxed wine and chasing women around his desk? How very 1950's.
Oh...right...he was a Republican. Democrats can get a pass on much worse behavior because, after all, They Care.
But the Mayor's story just keeps rolling on:
Now 22, Sam's teenaged paramour has been offered a cover and nude spread in a hot gay magazine. No word on whether he'll go for it, as yet. And Portland's favorite fireman, Randy Leonard, having apparently boarded over the secret door that used to connect his and Adams' offices, has gone public with his distrust of the honorable Mayor.
"After a while, you ask someone about something enough and they keep lying about it enough, you quit asking because you know you're not going to be told the truth," Leonard said. "If anything, you're going to be told more lies so you stop asking. You just assume there's more stuff out there based on the constant lies."
This is an especially stinging rebuke for Hizzonner; Leonard may wield only one vote on the Portland City Council, but until this whole thing with Adams' predatory hound-dogging of a kid erupted, Randy was one of Sam's strongest supporters. Sam may be able to rely upon pups like Amanda Fritz for now, but he should bear in mind that Fritz, being new to the Council, is likely to put up with pretty much anything for the time being. That may change as she gains familiarity with the office.
