UPDATE: The Mayor’s Beau – A Blow-By-Blow Account

UPDATE (2/8): Video of Beau Breedlove, speaking about he and Sam Adam’s rendezvous after the jump!
Yesterday, we posted a story about the openly gay, 45-year-old mayor of Portland, Sam Adams cumming clean (tee-hee) about his brief but torrid affair with an 18-year-old named (get this) Beau Breedlove. Today, Unzipped blog released some of Breedlove’s MySpace photos and the boy is yummy; a young, lanky thing right out of QC Twinks.
To boot, the good folks at Oregon Live blog also posted some more details about the affair:

Adams met Beau Breedlove in April 2005. Breedlove, then 17, was an intern at the Oregon Legislature for then-Rep. Kim Thatcher, R-Keizer. Adams, 42 and a city of Portland commissioner, was in Salem on a lobbying trip. They struck up a conversation, and Breedlove called Adams soon after, hoping for both professional and personal advice on coming out of the closet in the political world.

Adams admitted to sleeping with Breedlove as soon as three weeks after his 18th birthday. The relationship, Adams said, lasted “maybe two months. We went on maybe three or four dates. I can tell you that although I found that Beau was smart, engaging and a decent fellow, that the experience of dating someone that much younger, I didn’t find it compelling.”

Adams said he knew what he did was morally wrong, but at the time “my greater concern was, under 18, illegal.” He also said he once served as a reference for Breedlove following their affair.

We find it hard to believe that Adams waited three weeks until after Breedlove had turned 17 to jump the young guy’s bones, but seeing as it’d do no good for the mayor to have statutory rape charges added to his press and credibility woes, we guess we’ll just have to take him at his word (cough, cough). Personally, we feel bad the mayor’s getting so much crap for nailing a young’un. We’re just hoping the sex was good. You know those 17-year-olds just have tons of energy… and stamina.
One last thing: Beau Breedlove released a statement about the affair. We’ll take a peek, after the jump!

Here’s the highlights from Beau’s statement:

When the subject first surfaced during the campaign, I was living out-of-state and I did not anticipate the impact it might have on Portland’s mayoral campaign. While my first instinct was to tell the truth, I also wanted to protect Sam Adam’s reputation, considering our valuable friendship.

Sam Adams has always been a positive influence and friend to me. He has many outstanding qualities to bring to his position as Mayor of the City of Portland and I wish nothing but the best for him. I hope this subject can ultimately be put to rest and I sincerely believe in Sam Adams and what he can do for the city of Portland as Mayor.

Going off to QC Twinks to jerk up some love sauce.
UPDATE (2/8): Here, Beau Breedlove, the romantic-novel named legislative intern who Sam Adams made nook-nook with gives his first interview with CBS News’ Ross Palombo. He’s not nearly as bitchy or outspoken as his we’d hoped, but this is reality, not reality television. We’re sure a couple of drinks and an older gentleman with political power would loosen him reeeaaaal quick.
