in &#8211; quote &#8220;Over&#8221;. \u00c2\u00a0I had to weave back into cobwebs in my mind, and made one &#8220;OH.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 <em>It&#8217;s&#8230; that thing, right?\u00c2\u00a0 The rumored sexual relation accused by that other gay guy who was thinking of running, right?\u00c2\u00a0 With the 18 year old Intern &#8212; Or, was\u00c2\u00a0it 17?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Actually\u00c2\u00a0I believe Mayor Smad Amas\u00c2\u00a0when he says\u00c2\u00a0it was\u00c2\u00a0past\u00c2\u00a0that age of 18, even as we&#8217;re in the &#8220;How can you trust&#8221;ville.\u00c2\u00a0 We&#8217;re in the realm of rationalizations here, and City council member Smad Amas\u00c2\u00a0would, in the midst of this, be able to rationalize 18.\u00c2\u00a0 But, there&#8217;s this thing one has to do when a rumor and allegation is made by a political opponent or potential opponent (as the case was here), particularly in the realm of Sex, which is to file it away for later and not be terribly surprised if its truthfulness\u00c2\u00a0comes to light &#8212; though, at the same time not terribly surprised if I never hear from it again (knowing full well that the Millawette Meeks and, as may be the case until corrupted by the\u00c2\u00a0hiring of the\u00c2\u00a0editor not experienced\u00c2\u00a0for her &#8216;Sustainability&#8217; job\u00c2\u00a0of the mayors&#8217; office &#8212; Portland Wercamy).\u00c2\u00a0 Hence I&#8217;m able to reach for that mental\u00c2\u00a0file between this teaser and the news to come to\u00c2\u00a0get to the\u00c2\u00a0&#8220;rumors are always true&#8221; (just ask Thomas Jefferson) not the least bit chagrined.<\/p>\n<p>One thought I have regarding Mayor Smad Amas is that he might be breaking a Sacred Vow with his life partner if only there were a Sacred Vow legally sanctioned for him to have broken.<\/p>\n<p>The answer to the question posed &#8220;Over?&#8221; &#8212; I doubt it.\u00c2\u00a0 Politicians have survived worst and more incriminating sex scandals, and Smad Amas has enough head of steam to blunt and suffer through the damange.\u00c2\u00a0 Should he survive?\u00c2\u00a0 Get back to me on that one.<\/p>\n<p>Or, actually don&#8217;t.\u00c2\u00a0 I don&#8217;t much want to delve into Smad Amas, except perhaps to start scrambling around the letters to various city politicians&#8217; names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first thing I heard when I turned on the radio this morning was\u00c2\u00a0a news item I guess I would have known if I were paying attention yesterday, as early as 4:00 pm at the Millawette Meek Mewsite.\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;And is the Mayor of Portland&#8217;s Career Over?\u00c2\u00a0 Later in the Hour.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 So I did not know [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3320\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
