NW Republican: "When you're becoming the subject of jokes, it's the time to step down."- Sam Adams

.
Oh, yeah... the Foxworth Matter. Sam Adams, Portland's embattled democrat mayor dropped this beaut during that particular controversy:

All quoted from NW Republican:


The above was said in reference to the removal
of then Police Chief Derrick Foxworth in 2006.

Well, here's the jokes. A T-shirt making the local Fox Affiliate and the internet as well as Jay Leno seem to have caught on. "Portland is the only city where an 18 year old can enjoy a Sam Adams."

Unfortunately according to Willamette Week's blog Mayor Sam Adams will be trying to weather the storm and hold his position. Here's what's great about it though. According to WWeek that's reporting City Commissioner Randy Leonard, Sam Adams says he deserving of "Due Process" before he leaves the seat.

Even after the Oregonian reports that according to the kid, him and Sam Adams made out in the a City Hall bathroom (shortly before retreating to a bar across the street) when he was 17 years old. Well I think we all hope that Sam is treated to Due Process and if a crime was committed (regardless of the statute of limitations) the people of Portland might actually stand up to corruption.
