#1 Maybe "Seedy Politician" needs a sub-category called "Guess which Party" This sort of editing by the MSM is a national joke.

#3 Maybe Portland's famous Powell's Bookstore can give him a job in sales if he agrees to resign.

#4 Lying about sex is not lying - the precedent was set by former President Clinton.
The teenager was of legal age (or at least that's all that has been claimed) and thus all Adams is accused of is an inapporpriate relationship - if it was a hetero relationship it would even seem admirable to many.
It's Portland, Berkeley of the North, so the whole thing may well play out as a battle to defend gay rights, a battle he would win.
The real issues of dishonesty and abuse of power will be brushed aside, just as they were before. And these issues are entirely independent of political party.

#5 That's right, Sam. Show those right wing hate mongers they can't win. Do it for "the community"...

#8 Even though the article doesn't say, you know he's a Democrat -- a Republican would be hounded from office.

A Republican would be ashamed. Donks have no shame.

#9 Not necessarily. Larry Craig was a Republican...

#10 Right, tu. But he was hounded out of office and Republicans were the ones doing the hounding. If he was a donk he would still be in office.
