Bigot mayor not "gay", merely has "relations" with "men"
Spokane Mayor Jim West, a 20 year veteran in the war against gay rights, admitted to making sex with male humans on Thursday.Still, he said, "I wouldn't characterize me as 'gay.'"
There are larger allegations of molestation which he has, of course, denied. He also apparently trolled Gay.com soliciting man-friends with the promise of signed sports memorabilia. While there, West offered internships to the man [undercover investigator] he was courting.
I won't bore you with the tawdry details but will point out with some satisfaction the immense hypocrisy and self-loathing of this wretched and pitiable human being. I wonder if West agreed with most of president Bush's supporters when they said the most important thing ithe last election were, "moral issues."
Moral issues evidently not being the same as morals. Or ethics.
The story is national:
New York Times
USA Today
But the best headline award goes to Editor & Publisher, for the following:
After 3-Year Probe, Spokane Paper Alleges Sex Abuse by MayorThe longest, hottest probe ever, to be sure.
UPDATE [11:11]: One of his Gay.com screennames, Cobra62nd, has the following profile [yes I registered at Gay.com to get this info]:
West might want to update that last one. Other than that it's just about as boring a profile as you'd expect from a gay republican politician.
- Sexuality
- I'm looking for
- Interested in
- . . . I am a really typical str8 acting/looking guy that just happens to be attracted to the same.
- How "Out" are you?

Ben,
This is a tailor-made Daily Show story.
I think this is one of those cases where the writers will get ahold of a paper and be like, "Hell, it's already here. All the funny, right there."
Then they clock out early.
Sometimes political leaders make it waaaay too easy for comedy writers. The team can just call this one in from home.
It's amazing how many men are still using that old "I have sex with men but that doesn't make me gay" line, LOL!!
"You are gay and what has your site?
Comletely nothing because you are a sucker!!!"
Heh.. I just thought that deserved to be re-posted. "Comletely nothing" indeed!
Priceless.
Thanks, toadman, that was my first piece of hatemail from a non-english speaking homophobe. In the world of blogs, that's a momentous day
