UPDATE: Now the Portland Police Officers Association claims Sam used city funds to hire a “Lying” consultant (read: political consultant) to show Beau Breedlove how to lie effectively.The story is here.
The head of the organization will be on the show today (6ish, I’m told).

UPDATE!!! Gay and Biking community can’t let their man fail, even though Sam has admitted he’s done wrong.
In fact before he was caught in the lie he called this case,

“this is one of the, you know, worst smears, you can say against a gay guy. It preys on the homophobic stereotype that gay men cannot be trusted with–young people.”

But his supporters don’t care, to them it was just a lie about sex. This is a bigger ideal–this is politics! That he actually committed the worst “smear[s] you can say against a gay guy…that gay men cannot be trusted with young people,” is a no go. Doesn’t matter anymore. Sam’s too big to fail. He’s the only guy who can run the city. He’s our Gayor. Can’t let him fail. Too big to fail.
Hey you supporters, you’re wrong. Even Sam knows that.

Today at a “news” conference/rally for Sam (inside City Hall…wow, how do you get to use that space?) Just Out reports here that Thomas Lauderdale of Pink Martini said he didn’t even think it was a big deal if Sam had sex with the teenager when he was 17:

Lauderdale – who said he would stand by Adams even if it was revealed in an investigation that Breedlove was 17 at the time of the incident – also said he had inside information which indicated Breedlove “knew what he was doing” by becoming involved with Adams, though he didn’t name sources or elaborate.
