Mayor Adams Week In Review
I was somewhat startled to see that Mr. Adams had gone into the “belly of the beast” by granting an interview with Just Out. Then I re-read and saw I had read wrongly — Just Out. Not The local gay press rag which called on his resignation, the national gay magazine. It figures.
I guess the biggest whimper out of the story this week came in the form of KGW’s Exclusive Interview with Mr. Breedlove, the latest example in the shoddened word usage for “exclusive” — it was exclusive except for the other two interviews. I’m sure it was a ratings sensation for KGW and this February Sweeps’ — so sweeping that it had to be cut off into some installments and stretched out over a week. This exclusive, in combination with the exclsuive KOIN (local cbs affiliate) / Logo (“MTV Gay”, look high up on your premium cable service), offered nothing not already unveiled in the exclusive Oregonian interview from a week or so ago, except it would appear: HE’S WILLING TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST! Regarding his assertion that he did not have sex with Mr. Adams until after he was 18.
To which I can only ask, “To what end?” Why does it matter? The criminal code is pretty firm that that pro-longed intimate toilet stall kiss figures as sexual conduct, at this point I’d just as soon punt Mr. Breedlove out of mind and punt away — he I have no particular interest in, whereas Mr. Adams I do.
Media item the next for L’Affaire Adams, Lars Larson made an appearance at city council to confront Mayor Adams. I won’t be too impressed unless he continues this on at least a weekly basis for a prolonged period of time, say three months.
