Traitor! Beau Breedlove wants to Recall Sam Adams


This guy makes me sick!

He built his 'porn' career based on his sexual experiences with the mayor and basically threw Sam under the bus for a chance to pose nude in a failed mag.

Now, he wants to have Sam recalled:
Among the pro-recall group was Beau Breedlove, the former legislative intern whose relationship with Adams in 2005 sparked the scandal. Adams denied the relationship when rumors surfaced in 2007, while he was running for mayor.

Breedlove, who is volunteering with the recall campaign, said in an interview after the rally that other gays and lesbians have chastised him for backing the recall of the city's first openly gay mayor.

Breedlove said that's precisely why Adams should step down.
"He should hold himself to a much higher standard than any other politician, because he's not just representing the city of Portland," he said. "He's representing the GLBTQ community in a new way they haven't been represented before."
Beau, you pretty much owe Sam Adams for your piece of sh** career. You should have took a stand before you flashed your ass in a porn mag or judge a penis contest.

Plus, Beau was proven to be a liar when Sam was cleared, so why would anyone take Beau seriously.

Sam Adams has been cleared! Beau Breedlove is officially a Liar.


Well, I have to say I'm surprised about this. Everybody's favorite mayor, Sam Adams has been cleared of all charges.
In a report released this morning, Kroger said Breedlove lacked credibility as a witness, and state investigators could find no other witness to corroborate his account of an underage relationship with Adams. State investigators interviewed 57 witnesses during the course of their inquiry.

"Here, there are serious questions about the credibility of Breedlove's account, due to his prior inconsistent statements, the lack of corroborating witnesses or evidence, his attempt to gain personally from matters related to his involvement with Adams and his prior criminal record," the report states.

"Accordingly, we have concluded there is insufficient evidence to charge, let alone convict, Adams with illegal sexual contact with a minor."

But the cute part is all about Beau's credibility...it's shot and full of holes. Beau was called out for the media tramp he is...

The report also questioned Breedlove's credibility. Breedlove had sought media attention as long ago as December 2007, by sending an anonymous e-mail about his relationship with Adams to the Portland Mercury. He met with then Mercury reporter Amy Ruiz the next month, agreeing to give her information as long as he could remain anonymous. After Ruiz stopped pursuing the story, he contacted Willamette Week, the report found.

Breedlove has since benefited from attention and financial payments as a result of the relationship, the report found.

In interviews with Adams' attorney on Jan. 21 and 22, 2009, Breedlove said he and Adams did not engage in any sexual contact or kissing before his 18th birthday -- a statement flatly contradicted by statements later given to investigators and reporters.

So I think I was on to something months ago. I asked the question if Beau set this thing up and now, I am overly convinced that he did.

Great Hera, Beau, what a fool you are! Sam Adams still ain't completely clean from this, but after your foolishness, you totally deserve to have your name dragged through jackal poo.

Now you will be known as an opportunist, a liar and a whore. Maybe you can put that on your resume.

Beau Breedlove is afraid the media will "affect the public's opinion of me"



It's been quiet over in the Adams & Breedlove world for a couple of months...until now. The famewhore Breedlove has filed a request for a restraining order against Brent Walth, a reporter for The Oregonian.

Really Breedlove? He's just doing his job, he's try to get the story. The story, you were so quick to sell to the highest bidder, pose nude, sign magazines, and judge a big dick contest for.

And it gets better...in his request, Beau said that Brent would publish damaging information about him if he didn't do an interview with The Oregonian.

In fact, Beau said that Brent's threats would "affect the public's opinion of me".

What? Trick, please! You have done that all by yourself. Seriously, who are you foolin', fool?


Sandy Rowe, editor of The Oregonian, feels the same way. She said:
"Any suggestion that Brent Walth coerced or threatened Beau Breedlove is absurd. Mr. Breedlove gave us an on-the-record interview voluntarily. He asked for nothing in exchange for the interview, and the newspaper made him no promises about what it would or would not publish."

Beau, get your act together.

UPDATE: A judge denied Beau's request...SNAP!

Sam Adams...Time to Go


The Oregonian, a Oregon newspaper has had it with Sammy. After an investigation revealed that Sam called Beau Breedlove 33 times before he was 18 for some booty, folks are done.

The are calling for an immediate resignation.
Past mayors have played prominent roles in shaping the city's schools. Adams made the high school dropout rate a centerpiece of his election campaign, but because of the nature of the Breedlove accusations and how he has handled them, he cannot and has not played any role since in addressing the problem. It's tough to succeed when critics can easily win over the public by casting doubt on Adams' motives, when outside groups consider changing their plans for fear of being pulled into a scandal and where other political leaders practically do somersaults in order not to be photographed with Portland's mayor.

Any number of people in Portland now believe that Adams will be done for as mayor as soon as Kroger's investigators present their findings, or as soon as someone mounts a recall campaign.

But, really, he was done for the moment he decided to win the last election with a lie. In January, we thought the right course would soon be evident to Adams. It was not. Now it is only clearer. Adams should resign.


I think so too. Sammy, it's over.

Sam Adams can't catch a Break


Sammy back in the news this week. Months back, Sam Adams said he didn't have relations with Beau Breedlove until he was 18.

Well, that may be a fib.

New phones reports show that Sam called Beau 33 times when he was 17, and the same phone report revealed that Sam made most of the calls to Beau a few weeks after they met. However the records don't show any calls Beau to Sam.

Mess...and here's where the J.R. and Sue Ellen part comes in (thanks to The Oregonian)

The outcome of the state Department of Justice investigation could come down to the word of Adams and Breedlove, both of whom acknowledge lying in the past about their relationship.

Breedlove, now 21, could become a problematic witness should Adams be charged. After saying he wanted to maintain his privacy, Breedlove gave a nationally televised interview, posed for a gay erotic magazine, signed autographs at an adult video store in Portland and served as a judge for a sexually explicit contest at a Portland doughnut shop.

Adams, 45, has tried to move past the controversy, working on high-profile deals such as Portland's Rose Quarter, the new Columbia River bridge and a proposed convention center hotel.

Meanwhile, the mayor's office has been distracted by the ongoing investigations by the state and the media.

The Oregonian and other news agencies flooded City Hall with records requests after Adams' admission Jan. 19. Officials have provided the newspaper access to hundreds of pages of spending records and a dozen archived boxes from Adams' years as a city commissioner.

The mayor's office also released a recording of an interview Willamette Week had with Adams four days before he admitted the truth about Breedlove. The recording shows Adams repeatedly lying and evading questions put to him by the newspaper.

Maybe Sam should just tell the truth...the finale doesn't look so good.

What I learned from Beau and Sam


So if y'all haven't heard...my favorite Kid Hustler, Beau Breedlove, delivered another blow in Sam Adams' career, by appearing at some Portland adult shop to sign copies of his Unzipped cover.

To me, that's low, really low. It's like he could care less about the drama this whole affair has caused, let alone the misery Sammy is facing. Beau is continuing the playing the selfish and stupid role to a T and has no plans of stopping.

But from this, I have realized several things:

  • If you are a grown ass man, leave silly ass young boys alone. I'm kind of tired of this 'he was 18 crap'. How many of us were level headed at 18? Beau was still a kid, a young, dumb and full of cum kid. Remember the line in The Wall, "Leave those kids alone."
  • Sam Adams' career will never bounce back properly. You may not want to believe that, but it won't happen no time soon. As long as Beau has chest hair, he will extend his 15 minutes to about 5 years of media/porn/"look at me I'm sexy" mess. And his 'fame' will be a constant reminder of Adams' f**k-up moment.
  • Gay media will throw us under a bus. Instead of dealing with Beau in a 'Katic Couric' kind of way, they went the 'Maury Povich' route and allowed him to piss all over Adams. I would believe when we have a fellow LGBT person in a powerful role, we would try to support them. If Beau was trying to push his cock agenda forward, the gay media could have said no and demanded him to have a simple interview. But to have him flash his peen on a cover of a gay porn mag, just sends so many messages about us. Especially this one: we don't care about the trouble he's a part of, we just want to see his dick. That's not cute.
  • Beau is selfish. Why would he go back to Portland, at a sex shop and sign copies on his mag? Does he know that Sammy is STILL under fire because of him? And if he's still a friend of Sammy, why would he continue to remind Portland of this mess? He obviously don't care about Sammy's issues or the progress of the Portland's LGBT community. If he was smart, we would stay out of Portland until Sammy is somewhat safe from religious groups and the folks behind the Sammy Resign website. Beau's career move is just not good business for Sammy or Portland.
It bothers to read or think about how this happen. Yes, we all make mistakes, do silly things in our lives. We are not perfect, however we can think twice every once in a while. I remember being so happy about Sam Adams and his story. His journey was a milestone and just like that, he's reduced to the horny old gay going for young meat.

I hope he can bounce back, we need our LGBT politicians. However, we need them to be smart too.

"This" could have Cost you your Job, Sam Adams!


Poor innocent Beau Breedlove makes his magazine debut for Unzipped. This is the guy, who I still believe, put Sam Adams in hot water for his benefit.

It's a shame what we will do for fame.

Question of the Day: Did Beau Breedlove set this whole thing Up?


The whole Sam Adams thing is boiling over. And it's only a matter of time before he's truly out on a limb. (check out my earlier post)

But the news of his boy toy isn't making matters good at all. Beau Breedlove is set to take it all off in Unzipped magazine. Unzipped is basically a porn magazine: nothing more, nothing less.

But I have to wonder...With the timing of this scandal and now, Beau's bridge to porn/naked/attention stardom...Did he set this thing up to get him in the media's eye?

It's too fishy. Starting from the gate: The info is leaked about their affair, Sam's in the news, then Beau is set up for interviews, and now he's in L.A. flashing his cock for the camera? Seems too planned to be consequence.

This could be a just me thinking too hard at work, but something's not right. Sam is going through a lot and Beau is just kool-aiding with this odd source of fame. A little selfish, Beau...just a little.

Just when you thought it was Safe for Sam Adams...


Folks are not feeling Sammy. In fact they have launched a site geared to removing Sam Adams as Mayor. Basically, they want to recall him.

The site is called www.recallsamadams.com. This is from their webpage:

Why do you feel Sam Adams should be recalled?

Sam Adams should be recalled for deliberately lying to the public, orchestrating an elaborate cover-up in which he subverted the 2008 mayoral election and abusing the power that the people entrusted to him. The people of Portland and surrounding communities are the unwilling victims who are paying for his deception and betrayal.

What are your political ideologies?

We feel that our views are in line with what some have labeled as American Progressivism. Historically it was the Progressive movement in the early 1900's that made recalls of elected officials possible.

Our volunteer base is comprised of individuals who subscribe to just about every political ideology with the common belief that Sam Adams actions warrant him unfit for office.

What are your views about homosexuality?

Every citizen has the right to the pursuit of happiness and it is the job of government to protect individual liberties. Deliberately lying, masterminding cover-ups and abusing power are traits of a corrupt politician and has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

We feel that Sam Adams has exploited and done a great disservice to the LGBT community. Our recall effort is dedicated to educating the public that any citizen with integrity, honesty and ideas can be leaders.

The goal of this group is gain 2,000 volunteers and collect 50,000 signatures. If they get more than 31,000 signatures, Sammy will be removed. I knew something was happening, it was quiet way too long in Oregon.

Interesting Quote: Sam Adams



I was forty-[two], however many years older than he was. And an elected official. I think the difference in age and the fact that I was an elected official made it inappropriate.... [E]lected officials are held to higher standards, and I know that. I can say, at the time, I was very flattered by the attention.

I’d recently ended my 11-year relationship. I was dating again. I didn’t think it through....
When a straight person screws up, and there have been a number of straight political figures who have, I don’t think that paints a brush on all straight politicians. I think that American’s are smart enough to know that we’re all unique. We’re all individuals.

Today on Sammy the Gay Mayor...


And it keeps getting messy and messy...A longtime friend of Beau Breedlove (maybe not anymore), told KATU News on condition of anonymity, that he and Sammy was doin' it, doin' it, and doin' it well when he was 17.

"He didn't say who, or his name, but said he was having sexual encounters with this person," the friend said. "I just didn't think too much of it at the time," he said. "It's not the first guy who he had sex with that was older than 18. He liked it, obviously. Maybe he just didn't know that this guy was going to become the mayor of Portland."

Interesting, I wonder else is going to come out. Now, we can say this is nothing but rumors. However, it's not cute to be reminded of this mess almost every other day. I feel that Sammy's actions is about kickoff something big and bad for us.

Damn Sammy! Please tell the truth! If you did this, just say it. You are almost doing more harm than good. If this turns out to be true, you are done.

I hope this is a rumor, but I have to say I'm losing faith in Sammy Jo.

Sam Adams' Chief Spokesman Leaves Job


Sam Adams's spokesperson has quit. Wade Nkrumah, Adams' director of communications, did not say why he quit, but said it was a voluntary decision.

I wonder if the issue of lying to the public hit him in the gut. This very unfortunate because this could start a trend. Although Adams has decided to stay in office, the scandal is increasing scaring staffers and some supporters.

It will be interesting to see who stays and who goes.

Sammy's staying


Portland's sex scandal mayor, Sam Adams has decided to stay put in his role as mayor. Perhaps the rally fueled his spirit after 100s showed up to support him.

Randy Leonard, the city commissioner, said that Sammy left a phone message on Sunday saying he will stay in office.

Good for you, Sammy, however be aware...This will not be easy. With more GOP drama growing and Breedlove giving interviews to any and everyone, this can be a bad move. The media will not be kind and I'm afraid, Sammy's good works will diminished within a month.

Stay strong, Sammy because Katrina-like storm is coming.

Breedlove's Tale


Beau Breedlove is the other man in this Days of Our Lives gay drama. He finally talks about what happened with his former lover-ish, Sam Adams.

He said that Adams kissed him twice when he was 17 and they had "crossed the line" toward romance earlier than Adams has mentioned. Which is not so good for Adams.

Beau went into detail about their 'moments', saying they kissed on the lips on two occasions, once in a car and the other in the men's room in City Hall after a party.

Now, they didn't have sexual stuff until he was 18, and Beau welcomed the relationship. So in some ways, he knew what he wanted. I mentioned before if I had any chance with my older crushes, I would've done it. Hell, at 14 and had relations with a 19 year old. So I could understand Beau's point of view.

Still Adams should have known better. Here's more from Beau:

Breedlove on Saturday said the two met at the state Capitol while he was an intern at the Legislature and Adams, then a city commissioner, was meeting with lawmakers. He said they exchanged numbers and Adams eventually invited him to lunch in Portland.

They ate at Macaroni Grill in downtown Portland in May 2005. Breedlove says Adams asked him how old he was, and Breedlove told him 17.

Adams was surprised. "I don't date people that young," Adams says he told him. Adams has said that once he learned Breedlove's age, he told Breedlove that he wouldn't get romantically involved.

Breedlove, however, says that after the lunch, Adams offered to drive him to Union Station so he could catch a train back to Salem. He says that while stopped at a red light, Adams leaned over and kissed him.

"I saw it as a friendship that had crossed the line a couple of times, but I saw it as a friendship," Breedlove said. "When I say cross the line, I don't mean as an unwarranted or unwanted affection. I just didn't see it as something with any potential. ... I saw it as that was the line that we had crossed a couple of times, was 'friends' to 'friends with benefits.' "

"Friends with benefits" is usually slang for friends who engage in sex. Breedlove reiterated that the sexual part of their relationship didn't begin until after he turned 18.

Breedlove celebrated his 18th birthday on June 25, 2005, at his parents' house in Salem. He invited Adams, who arrived with a friend.

Breedlove says he and Adams agreed to have Breedlove come to Portland for the night two weeks after his birthday. He said they went out to dinner and spent the night at Adams' home on July 9, 2005. Breedlove said he planned to leave the next day, but his plans changed and he remained in Portland. He stayed at Adams' house a second night. Breedlove says their only sexual encounters took place that weekend.

Within Days...


That's what a spokesman for Sam Adams said to the press about whether he will resign or not. The fallen mayor is realizing how paramount this issue is.

The gay community is split about his decision and wonders what will happen next. Stay strong my Portland LGBT community. I hope this will pass smoothly.

The Falling of Sam Adams


Sam, Sam, Sam...things are not looking so great for him.

Within the 48 hours, Oregon's attorney general decided to investigate Sammy on his affair with Breedlove. Then a couple of newspapers are calling for him to resign, including the LGBT newspaper, Just Out.

Just Out acknowledges that over his two decades as a public servant Adams has risen to become one of Oregon’s most revered openly gay leaders. This publication has long admired Adams’ vision, his intelligence and his tenacity. Ultimately we have concluded that these qualities cannot overcome the weakness revealed in Adams’ recent admission.

Adams’ apology of yesterday, including specific reference to the gay community, while sincere, is not enough. The bond of trust and confidence has been broken. Adams has previously stated his hope that gay and lesbian youth might one day look to him as a role model and example. His own actions have now rendered this implausible.

Adams must resign his seat as Portland’s mayor.

This is sad because he's done great things, but this issue has almost destroyed those deeds. I'm in the middle about him resigning. In one part, this has nothing to do with his work, but at the same time, he will represent the negative views of gay men and the lying part ain't cute.

However, there are folks who will still stand by him and they are rallying up to show their support tomorrow at 5:30pm at Portland City Hall.

LGBT Community of Portland speaks about the Mayor & Minor scandal

Lordy, Lord Sam. Since he came clean about his affair with the young boy, Portland's LGBT community feels betrayed. I knew there would be some drama, you can't keep everything hidden forever...and unfortunately, something like this.

OPB News and Queerty shared bitter feelings from the LGBT community:

Kimberlee Van Patten said, "Here we are standing on the mountaintop, with our black president and our gay mayor, we were going to get this done, you know? And now I just feel like we've totally been let down."

"We spend our whole lives trying to convince everyone that we're OK, that we're not broken or wrong. And -- I don't care who he slept with -- but he lied! That's the part I can't get past. He got elected under false pretenses, 'cause we didn't know the truth, and now we have to deal with it."

Ryan Schultz "He was trying to break down that stereotype, but in fact he's building it up by lying about it."

Many people in the room said they were upset by Adams' judgment, both in getting involved in with someone so close to the age of consent, and in lying about it.

Many also said they needed more details before they could make up their minds. But some in the room said they were aware of the moral weight Adams carries, as the first openly-gay mayor of a large metropolitan area.

Here's Sammy's press conference, (thanks Queerty)

Mayor Adams meets with Oregonian editorial board part 1



Mayor Adams meets with Oregonian editorial board part 2



Sammy said he will not resign, but he will try to right the wrongs. But I think it's too late. The timing of this couldn't be worst. With the country's love/hate reationship with us, we need to show that we are responsible and sensible. I understand the age thing and get that these things happen. Hell, I'm sure at 15, if my hot PE teacher ask me for sex, I would've done it. However in an important role such as mayor, he should've taken the high road.

A gay person in power is always watched and judged. You have to be at your best and on top of your game. What Sam did will be a weapon used against us and I wouldn't be surprised if American Family Association or any other anti-gay groups start attacking Portland. Thanks Sam, you have cracked the dam with this one.

Portland's Mayor admits to having sex with a Minor



This is pure mess. We don't need this right now, Sam, you silly twit.

Sam Adams, who is openly gay, acknowledged the relationship in a statement Monday, after the Willamette Week newspaper broke the story on its Web site.

Adams, 45, said he and the teen were together in the summer of 2005, shortly after the teenager turned 18 in June, and when Adams was a city commissioner. The revelations come nearly a year and a half after Adams and the teen said rumors of a sexual relationship between them were false.

Despite the rumors, Adams coasted to victory in his race, making Portland the largest U.S. city to ever elect an openly gay mayor. He was sworn in Jan. 1.

Sam...get it together. This can cost you a lot, as well as trust in your leadership. I can't believe he made that boy lie and then lied to everybody else.

Sam, if you had to do that much lying, then you knew it wasn't the best thing to do. Now I can imagine GOP/christian crazies running mad with this news. And I'm sure things can be twisted into some weird Daddy issue-type thing. I tell you, Obama gets in and the Dems go crazy.

Here is his apology

I want to publicly acknowledge a mistake I have made and I want to apologize for it.

In the past, I have characterized my relationship with Beau Breedlove as purely non-sexual. That is not true. Beau Breedlove and I had a sexual relationship for a few months in the summer of 2005 after he turned 18 years of age.

I should have been honest at the time about the true nature of my relationship with Beau Breedlove when questions about my relationship with him first surfaced publicly in October 2007. In fact, Beau encouraged me to be honest about the facts of our relationship. I am deeply sorry that I asked him to lie for me.

I lied at the time because I was afraid that people would believe untrue rumors, being circulated by an undeclared mayoral opponent, that I had broken a law involving sexual relations with a minor. But this is not a good excuse.

Until today, with the exception of Beau, I have not discussed with anyone the true nature of my relationship with him: not with my colleagues, staff, friends or family.

I apologize to Beau for asking him to lie for me. I apologize to my colleagues for my poor handling of this matter. I apologize to the people of Portland for my dishonesty. I should have been truthful from the beginning.
