Adams' Admission Reaction: Hear Mayor Sam Adams Deflect the Bathroom Question

Last Sunday, The Oregonian reported that Beau Breedlove and Sam Adams kissed in a City Hall bathroom on June 2, 2005, which was 23 days before Breedlove's 18th birthday.

Breedlove told the daily the kissing was "mutual and said it lasted about a minute."

Breedlove told The O they did not have sex that night. Adams has also said the two did not have sex that night.

Here is audio and a transcript from WW's Jan. 15 interview in which Adams artfully dealt with the bathroom question.

NIGEL JAQUISS: At any time in 2005, were you and Beau Breedlove ever in the same City Hall bathroom?

SAM ADAMS: Oh, yes, I heard about this email [an anonymous email sent to numerous newsrooms suggested Breedlove and Adams were together in a City Hall bathroom] from--went out to people. Um, I--maybe, I don't know. If it was, it wasn't--it wouldn't be for very long.

JAQUISS: Okay. So: Did you have sex in the City Hall bathroom?

ADAMS: No.

JAQUISS: Okay.

ADAMS: Jesus.
