Breedlove to The Oregonian: Stay the Hell Away

If you were waiting for another bizarre twist in the Sam Adams-Beau Breedlove scandal, here it is:

The Oregonian is reporting that Breedlove today filed for a restraining order — against one of the daily's own reporters, Brent Walth.

According to the O, Breedlove alleged Walth said he would publish damaging information about Breedlove unless he agreed to an interview.

Editor Sandy Rowe's response:

"Any suggestion that Brent Walth coerced or threatened Beau Breedlove is absurd. ... Mr. Breedlove gave us an on-the-record interview voluntarily. He asked for nothing in exchange for the interview, and the newspaper made him no promises about what it would or would not publish."
