OK here it goes, so stop sending the e-mails, please, about openly gay mayor Sam Adams of Portland, Oregon going “Full Portland” on a former male intern from his city commissioner days, who may have been 17 for like a day when they met. The HOOOOOT intern’s name is Beau Breedlove, which is hilarious, because he cannot breed. So now they will both go to jail for being gay. [Oregonian]
But Beau does breed love.
OMG 3rd NIPPLE
I was going to say something about lying and something else, but that torso is distracting all the snark out of me
So Beau Breedlove is code for Barry O’bama?
This story’s breaking nationwide–NOT because of a legal relationship, but because the mayor dude openly and repeatedly and consisently acutally LIED about the relationship–denying it for a long time. The mayor has ADMITTED that he openly lied about it, which may raise legal concerns because the issue was originally raised because of rumors that the mayor was cavorting around with an underage teenager. So then the mayor lies about it—-repeatedly. Which raises a lot of questions: If it was legal, why lie about it? Why does a mayor lie about a legal relationship? Why does he lie about it at all? Now, there may be some investigations into the mayor’s behavior. You can’t promise to be a mayor and uphold laws and ethics and regulations—and then openly, repeatedly and consistenly lie to officials and the public about an issue that could have been the subject of a legal, ethical and criminal investigation. That is not what a mayor should be doing–and the mayor said so himself!!
No one under 18 should be allowed near the Portland Mayor’s office ever:

When did Bruno join the IDF?
thefrontpage: “If it was legal, why lie about it? Why does a mayor lie about a legal relationship? Why does he lie about it at all?”
Indeed, he is the first politician ever to lie about his sex life in order to win an election.
HEHNGNN?!
I can’t wait to see the made-for-TV movie about this… starring Matthew Perry or Keith Olbermann as Mayor GayLust.
Jim Newell: I lied about my election in order to improve my sex life.
OK, now this is the kind of news story I can get behind!
More pix plz.
thefrontpage: I’m not saying your wrong, but gay people have kind of been conditioned to lie, especially those who may be open in public office, because the only kinds of relationships “voters” respect are hetero-married ones. If you’re gay you have to be a eunuch or be married to an Old that no one wants to fuck. EVERYBODY WANTS TO FUCK 18 YEAR OLDS. May gawd have mercy on the man who actually does.
But yeah, a lie’s a lie. Fuck ‘im.
hot pics are at the “HOOOOT” link
Politician in sex scandal=water is wet. Next!
Maybe he lied about it because he’s more than twice the kid’s age, was supposedly the kid’s mentor at the time the affair began, and was afraid he’d look like a pathetic, cradle-robbing troll if people found out. Of course now he looks like a lying pathetic, cradle-robbing troll, but you pays your money and you takes your chances.
Poor kid will now be known forever as “Monica”.
thefrontpage: Jim Newell: I thought Kwame Kilpatrick made a public service announcement on “Mayoral Lying and You”.
Sam Adams is stupid and also has good taste in men. The end.
How could anyone not fuck that?
thefrontpage: I think you may need to change your diaper.
thefrontpage: You don’t understand. We don’t actually care. If it provides teh lulz, we cum.
Well, this would explain last season’s special edition “Pederasts’ Ale”.
Oh, what?… different Sam Adams?
Vanity Smurf: I’m straight and I would still hit it.
Look, we’ve all been there….pants down, trying to shoot pool with some kid’s tonsils when you remember..’Hey, did I card this kid for age?” And wait’ll Ted Haggard sees that photo! Back to rehab, honey.
Colander: Yeah, it’s pretty much “I’m one of those non-threatening gays that wants to get married and doesn’t date 18-year-olds for sex. Vote for me.”
SayItWithWookies: If you’re gonna be Daddy, ya gotta own it. Own it and it can really work for you.
MisterLoki: Of course you would. Now back of the line, you’ll wait your turn like everybody else.
Harvey Birdman: How did Lindsey Graham get involved in this conversation?
As long as they weren’t texting each other, ‘cuz that shit is some nasty shit.
Also, “Sizer” and “Schrunk”???? Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Yeah, he’s pretty but he’s soooo skinny. What are they paying mayors nowadays? Can’t they afford something with a little more oomph where it counts?
I went to school with Beau and He used to date older men ALL the time and brag about it A LOT. I may have known about the relationship before anyone else and not have known I knew. I wouldn’t be surprised that this was one of his relationships he had at seventeen.
I’ve been shaving my torso since this post went up.
And so it begins, the gay witch hunt rounding up all of Barry’s supporters who take it up the toxic love canal. First Teh Gayz Bishop from “New Hampshire” (a holy owned subsidiary of J.Crew Ambercrombie Fitch) shaved off the feed by HBO, a.k.a. Dianne Feinstein. And now this good looking Portland mayor outed for fete’ing with a mere child of a porn star. Who is next? Cross cultural citizen and balletophile “Ram” Emmanuel? Favorite penmanship presidential drinking buddy Jon Favreau?
The Republicans do not own this issue of gay misbehavin’. The Democrats can handle it as well as the next girly dog!!!
@thefrontpage: that’s some excellent satire right there, sir (or ma’am). way to display the bulletproof logic that led this country on an investigation costing tens of millions of dollars (only to reveal a pretty good President got a BJ from a woman (not his wife) which ultimately caused the election of the biggest epic failure in the history of presidency. and you really tie it all together with timing. the very first day after we’re been rid of the bush plague. and someone told me bush killed satire too. not true. not true, indeed.
Perot le fou: Yeah, I was thinking of Goldschmitt’s little liaison w/his baby-fucking-sitter. Ew. Portland’s such a cool place, plus Hopey sealed the deal there so it must live in all our hearts forever.SayItWithWookies has it right — no problem w/teh Gay; it’s the cradle-robbing that’s a tough sell.
Anonymous2386: che scandalo! clear those cookies, dude. Weird Birch-y P.I.s coming for your computer in 3…2…1…
while i certainly welcome the beefcake, i think we have a duty to cover chirac’s mauling (in places unnamed) by the depressed maltese.
dog.
I don’t know why they bother calling them interns, when “sexual” catnip is so much more evocative.
Min:
In-and-outerns maybe?
I don’t believe it. I think I need to see video.
All of the stripper I know love to work in portland.
Make that plural. Otherwise, ewww.
The problem is the Sam’s wiener interrupted my post hopegasm glow.
I voted for Sam but if you come to my party and leave an enormous turn in the punchbowl, you dont get to come back. I dont care how smooth his butt is.
LaFevaPDX: Second that. I want vid also, but without mayor daddy. Okay the mayor can do a bukkake shot, but that’s it.
Mark Foley is SO jealous.
Anonymous2386: So he wouldn’t let you fuck him?
thefrontpage: Please provide a teh buttsecks timeline to back up whatever your claim is.
Vanity Smurf: Anonymous2386 is SO jealous.
Anonymous2386: I smell subpoenas in your future.
Rodney Badger: Anony might be a girl who he had to ‘break the news to’, if you know what I’m smellin.
Yum yum. Shit, I wouldn’t lie if I laid that lad, I’d be mailing everyone his pic going “Hey, look who I just bagged!”
This is bringing back memories of the Dan White “Twink”-ie defense.
thefrontpage: Yet, he is still willing to clean up the environment by trolling the sound for used condoms.
Sam Adams, blower-patriot.
Kev-O-Tron: hell, I lied about my erection to improve my sex life. But as Gary Hart was heard to tell Donna Rice, “I said lick my erection, not wreck my election”…
It appears now both of us = epic fail.
dang. i prefer older guys, but even *i’d* ride that lil’ pony!
thefrontpage: Is this kind of like McCain lieing about all the trim he got on the side, or is that different since there was no homosinuality involved?
Oh come on. This is bullshit. I dated a woman who was way older than me for a while. It was great: good sex and no stupidity. Breedlove is not a victim here, and it’s ridiculous to act like he was taken advantage of just because Sam Adams is older. Wasn’t someone just talking about nailing Jill Biden in the “Re-taking of the oath” post? Breedlove wasn’t even an intern with Adams; he worked for someone in another city. The only way it is a real problem is if Breedlove was 17 when Adams first tapped that ass. Otherwise, it’s just more neo-puritan freaking out about assfucking. Personally, I expect better from Portland and “the front page” can go fuck him/herself with Ted Haggard’s dick.
Maybe he lied about it because he’s more than twice the kid’s age, was supposedly the kid’s mentor at the time the affair began, and was afraid he’d look like a pathetic, cradle-robbing troll if people found out. Of course now he looks like a lying pathetic, cradle-robbing troll, but you pays your money and you takes your chances.
This. It’s embarrassing in a “don’t use your public office as a way to get sex” way.
Especially not sex with people under your state’s age of consent, because that’s even tackier.
Vanity Smurf: From the lips of Lindsey Graham to God’s ear.
where’s the mayor’s photo?
This would never have happened if Obama had gotten the oath right the first time around.
Mad Farmer Manifest: Her parole officer is who?
Rush started having ‘intimate relations’ with farm animals half his age, 14. Yet, there has been no fuss. Damn the Liberal Media.
This reminds me of that time in high school when I was grounded, not for calling myself out of school, but for lying about it. Except for that in that situation I wasn’t a hottt, sculpted 17 year old having buttsecks with the mayor.
thefrontpage: How exactly does one “openly lie”? That somehow sounds like an oxymoron. Also, do all gay men hate chest hair? Also.
Is that Al Reynolds?
Isn’t the most important question whether they practiced safe sex? That’s being lost in all the hoopla. I’m gonna need to see pictures before I can feel comfortable with this. I hate to think of that young man spreading Hepatitis behind he cool smile and jaunty shades.
Eh, on second thought I guess it’s more important to determine whether it was rape. But I still expect a full and detailed accounting of precise sexual practices engaged in if the Mayor ever expects to regain his credibility.
i’d give anything to be a guy, just for a chance to suck on that.
PsycGirl: No. The way it works is if you have chest hair, you dislike it, wish you were smooth, and are totally attracted to men who don’t have it. The smooth boys are often totally enamored of the guys who have furry chests and will knock themselves out trying to get fucked by such masculine and virile specimens. The rule is not 100%, but it’s that way most of the time. Major exceptions would include narcissistic gym bunnies who remove all body hair so as to better display their muscles. They are only interested in their own kind.
This. It’s embarrassing in a “don’t use your public office as a way to get sex” way.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think Sam Adams needs to use his office to get sex. The man is a fucking god. Way hotter than Baby Breedlove. If I were a gay male, I’d be all over that, even if he is 16 years older than me.
You shouldn’t link to the Oregonian (still mired in “if it matters to Oregonians, it’s in the Washington Post”) … the story was hounded and broken by Willamette Week’s Pulitzer-Prize-Winning journalist, Nigel Jaquiss. Adams just tried to avoid the weekly’s expose by “confessing” quick. The Oregonian did pretty much the same thing with Neil Goldschmidt.
Stop calling this guy a pedophile! 17 years old does not equate pedophile.
But I still expect a full and detailed accounting of precise sexual practices engaged in if the Mayor ever expects to regain his credibility. —> I would also like this. Perhaps video/pictures if they have them.
Sam Adams — pick up a six pack.
Well this is just silly. A single male poiltician is probably fucking somebody and this dude is gay so he’s fucking another dude. So what if he’s old enough to be the kids father? You could say the same about Fred Thompson and his wife.
My takeaway? Parents: Listen up. If you name your kid Beau Breedlove, he’s gonna grow up to be a homo.
Is that what you want?
OK. Fine.
Lascauxcaveman: The other names on their shortlist were Bruce and Perry. Somebody wanted to be a P-FLAG mom.
Lascauxcaveman: Even better. His middle initial is E.
As in “Boyeeee Breeeeed luuuvvv.’ He’ll be gay AND a pimp.
Though from his job trajectory, briefly outlined at the wweek.com site, this guy’s not great at even pimping himself. And for a real fun take, I’d like to refer you to the satirical “retirement blog” of our shortest-lived, if most envied, mayor. Or as I’d like to call my erstwhile crush, “the gayer mayor.”
Rev. Juan MessyCan: Er, I guess I better add a link.
I’m a kinda-hot 21-year-old gay guy in Portland (actually two months younger than Beau, HA!!!!) and I had Sam Adams check me out over the top of a newspaper he was reading on the MAX once. It was pretty hilarious to be checked-out by a city councilman.
And damn, I’d have slept with him for an internship too. I mean hey, sounds like they both got something out of the relationship. Sam got a hot piece of ass, and Beau got something he could put on his resumé so that maybe he’d actually have a real job someday (apparently, he is now an “event planner”. Which probably means he gets a $1 surcharge on lines of cocaine for planning parties in the slingroom at Steam Portland. Come on, you know what I’m talking about).
Jesus, if this is some sort of Moral Lesson(tm) about the dangers of being queer, and this picture is supposed to illustrate that Lesson, this just isn’t working, even for this dumpy middle-aged straight guy. Also, damn, he looks fine.
a good piece of chicken is getting so expensive these days.
Head-Bangers, is now the closet name for male politicians that chew the meat-whistle and lie about it. For those male politicians that are openly gay, darn good cocksucker is appropriate. Spelunkers is not appropriate for lesbian politicians, poor taste. Forest Rangers is delicate and can be used without direct association. Nancy Pelosi can be substituted freely. In either case.
So Joe Scarbough became the gay mayor of Portland and had gay sex with some hot 18-year-old gay? I don’t see problem here.
Hey, don’t kill the messenger. Previous comments from various news stories, all running nationwide on the wires. Openly lie means he lied in public, in public statements, to other politicians and to the press and possibly to his family. No “satire.” No need for “backup” on statements because, as noted, everything is in press accounts, accurate ones, that ran nationwide. People, for God’s sake: Adams admitted that he lied! He admitted it. He apologized for it!
The news on 1/22: The Oregon Attorney General’s Office has announced that it will investigate the mayor, and his lies, and his previous statements, on this issue. Again: Just reporting the news, don’t kill the messenger.
Folks, if you’re a mayor, and there’s rumors like this, and you then make public statements where you lie about the rumors–that is just not what mayor’s are supposed to do, and—Adams said so himself, in his public apology this week. He admitted, himself, that he erred in publicly, openly lying about this issue. He admitted it.

This whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth. Can’t wait to put this behind us.
Vanity Smurf: Thanks for the info. “I have it”=”I wish I didn’t have it”? Sounds familiar.
More earnest questions to follow. Also.
