SPOKANE, Wash. -- Mayor Jim West faces recall Tuesday over a sex-tinged abuse-of-office charge that he offered a City Hall internship to an 18-year-old he met in a gay chat room.

But the young man West offered a job - allegedly in anticipation of sex - never existed. The Gay.com profile West knew as "motobrock" was a ruse The Spokesman-Review used to track the mayor's online activities.

West has acknowledged having relationships with young men but has denied doing anything illegal.

Sounds like another MD4Bush plot IMO with the local Spokane fishwrap right in the middle of it.

A Republican.

Of course they mentioned it. If he were a Democrat, they wouldn't have.

I am a true believer, .....but:

"The newspaper has published more than 175 articles, editorials and columns accusing West of pedophilia and using his city-owned computer to look for dates with men in cities he planned to visit. West, 54, a former Boy Scout executive and sheriff's deputy, denies the pedophilia allegations. He said he no longer engages in gay sex and has stopped visiting Internet chat rooms. 'I don't do that stuff anymore and probably shouldn't have done it in the first place,' West, 54, told The Associated Press."

This is noteworthy, to say the least. And:

No, I think we gots a real problem here, unless we's gonna let our pretty-boys rock-on their pervy ways.

Think about it.

175 articles in a daily newpaper, and I haven't seen one valid rebuttal. (so-to-speak)

But then if you think there's nothing unusual about this kind of behavior..........we may have a disagreement!@

<< Stop putting words into my mouth. >>

That's what Barney Fwank said to the reporters questioning him about Barney's poofter "partner" who at the time was moonlighting [The mind boggles] operating a sodomy for rent racket out of Barney's apartment.

[And whom, Barney said, had taken Barney for a sucker]

There is an appropriate Republican Party Mechanism for dealing with our own little Barney Frank.

Immediately before his resignation from office on grounds of "Health," this Chickenhawk should be used to test ax and pick handles and be dumped outside of City Limits.

2 reasons:
(1) He's an aggresive queer who clearly establishes the gay-pedophilia link, about which the queer world is in public denial, but private practice.
(2) Extreme and arrogant stupidity, How can it be in 2005 that a man considered fit for public office is so goddam ignorant that he thinks a computer is a private means of communication? Especially a computer on a network?

Hanging is too good for this SOB. He Barney Frank and several others should be duct-taped into a compromising position and dropped into the Pacific from a pink helicopter.
